South Park doesn't interest me too much- nice restaurants but too tempting... Plus I like the funky older buildings. First things first for me- get a contract (software development).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-37667598927627710052008-05-24T08:55:00.000-07:002008-05-24T08:55:00.000-07:00Hey Eric, wow a morning person.. me, I'm awake bec...Hey Eric, <BR/><BR/>wow a morning person.. me, I'm awake because of the cats.. Alexander woke me up every 1 1/2 hrs. or so it seemed. I might have to take a nap this morning. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, move ironically is 2 Saturdays from now. It'll be a very quiet place to write I think & yet the cats will still have a view. It seems like such a big step to me though. I'm a little freaked about it now & again. ;P It's also extra pressure on me as there is no excuse for me to not write. I just wish the cats wouldn't keep waking me up all night.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what sort of work you do but so far am liking Old Bank pretty much. I think the rent (compared to South Park anyway) is pretty reasonable depending on what space it is. I really liked Big City Poz's Building and the Hellman is pretty good too. <BR/><BR/>When I was looking around square footage was important and not getting charged so much for pet deposit. Having cats, I don't think having a pet deposit is really fair. The other thing is that I felt like I was getting a hard sell from some of the other apartment people around town.. kind of pushy & rude. I understand the market is tight but it made me less likely to want to put any money down to hold anything. Erik at Old Bank was cool. I wasn't quick enough on a couple apartments but when I saw the one I wanted I knew it and got the deposit down same day. He didn't you know, try to twist my arm figuratively into doing something I wasn't sure about. That stuff goes quick though. <BR/><BR/>Geez I'm rambling. Hope you had your coffee when you sat down to read this. ;)MeekoRousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551589891224879887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-6175528577900592042008-05-24T08:24:00.000-07:002008-05-24T08:24:00.000-07:00When do you move to the Continental?

I have to move at end of July and am looking forward to trying a new loft, if I get a contract that allows me to stay downtown (i.e.- not in Irvine or somesuch). I'm still enjoying downtown!<BR/><BR/>Oh, did you say Coffee Heath Bar Crunch? One of my favs, along with Choc Chip Cookie Dough- I'm sitting here fantasizing... but I will have a cheese danish this a.m. after workout, so that's my sins for the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-78422415206260325662008-05-24T02:24:00.000-07:002008-05-24T02:24:00.000-07:00Yes the cheeseburger I had there tonight was reall...Yes the cheeseburger I had there tonight was really good.. I'm sure I ate faster than I should. I was sitting in on a meeting and stuffing my face at the same time, which I'm sure wasn't the best thing to do. ;)<BR/><BR/>Later on though I wanted ice cream and I finished my pint of coffee heath bar crunch.. They had vanilla heath bar crunch which isn't the same but I broke down and got it anyway. No chocolate in the house! what to do!? <BR/><BR/>I think living on my own in the Continental will be slightly harder despite not having the ice cream temptation directly below me. I need to be more wary about my expenditures on stuff that is probably clogging my arteries with bad stuff. <BR/><BR/>It's only been once a week for the hamburgers, but still.. need to cut back. More salads!MeekoRousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551589891224879887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-78933498500254731062008-05-23T21:04:00.000-07:002008-05-23T21:04:00.000-07:00Hoagies & Wings- my kryptonite!

I'm trying to stay away but their ultimate steak haagie (double meat) can't be TOO unhealthy, can it? :-)<BR/><BR/>I'm lucky I don't have a market downstairs or that ice cream fix would be pretty often.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder- Monday will be very quiet I'm sure...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
