Again, as seems to be the trend around here the posts come in spurts. Eventually our newly moved and engaged Darren will make a comment and there will be another slew of talks, but until then it is as if we no longer have things to say, which we all know isn't true.
Jeremy and I wen't house shopping yesterday, and will continue a bit today. We didn't find much that really tickled our fancy. Most of the loftish type stuff we found was overpriced, and honestly there wasn't much of it. Partially I feel that our efforts yesterday were doomed from the get go by a late start, but then spending a lot of time at Post Biltmore, where MN is going to be moving into, didn't help the cause much. Although I think I could live there, it is still more of an apartment than I like, and only one place had enough space to make it considerable. Still, it holds a high place on my list until we find more stuff.
The reasons are as follows:
It is close to things, like Jeremy's job, so cars wont be as necessary. There is pretty direct access to a lot of downtown features, which is something I highly cherish.
It is close to friends. Not only MN, but Ewald, the midtown boys and a variety of people live near that area. While Ewald is the only on in walking distance, the rest are a very short drive.
Parking is taken care of. Since I will hopefully have 2 cars soon, it is nice to have closed parking, and since jeremy doesn't have a car I get his parking space.
The one or two drawbacks would be . . . price, however there seems to be little that I can do about that until Jeremy finds something cheaper, and no living with Bruckner, which means that we would have to cut him out, something I do not want to do.
There is a chance that the lofts that we will be looking at today will be what we want, and allow us to have three people, however it is a bit pricy for Bruckner's tastes, so I don't know if he will be in. Regardless, I am starting to feel bad about Bruck because it seems like I am destined to screw him.
In other news apparently there is another rift in the circle of friends, although details are as of yet unavailable and are apparently going to stay that way, it is still a semi monumentous occasion, although not as much so as the chasm from before (that I think only now has been repaired on some level).
I'm looking at picking up a prelude this monday. The ticket price is more that I had originally been looking for, but with potential help from V and the good quality of the car (I'm no longer looking for the clunker from the early 80s) it is worth the endeavour. Although part of me is concerned about falling into my Dad's abyss of having too much stuff, hopefully the waulity of my stuff will be significantly higher than my Dad's.
Speaking of Dad, we had a grat time at the game friday, and will have even more of a great time today at the regional finals between Duke and Xavier. Fortunately the Tech game is before that, so I will either be elated or destroyed by the time we go watch some more hoops. MY dream is of a 2 ACC final four, which will no deoubt make sportscenter as a Did You Know.
On the videogame front, Raibow 6 is getting easier because I'm getting better. Gaiden is getting shorter because you can put your head down and bulldog your way through the difficulties in that game. Something looms on the horizon because I want a new game, but decisions are hard. I'm having a hard time convincing myself of another Xbox game because the content out there really isn't that great. Althgouh many games come with Live, what that involves is very variable. There isn't a grat platformer out there, and I feel myslef getting pulled in the platform direction since I don't have the time it requires to do the RPG/Fighting games anymore (maybe in the summer). Ratchet and Clank is a good game, with friends backing that up, so maybe that is where the cash will drop. But then again . . . there is always Cronicles . . .
