Underground Wanderer

1. Went to go sign my lease tonight and found out our building had been sold to new landlords yesterday, (not completely surprised, since they had told my roommate this was a possibility when she signed her portion of the lease). The problem ended up being that they didn't have our lease anymore, thus I couldn't sign it, and now we have to wait for the new owners/landlords to give us info about who to contact, where to send our rent money, etc. Did I mention that our rent is due, oh, today? *snort* Guess they are not getting it on time this month.

As a result of all of this, I've come to the conclusion that the Universe is bored and likes to throw this crazy shit at me from time to time to see how I'll react. Somehow I'm not particularly amused about it this week.

2. Have a job interview next Tuesday for an unpaid, editorial assistant position with a social connection/media website. Actually looks really interesting and could potentially lead to a full-time position. I know I still need to search for a paying job, but the fact that I finally landed at least one interview gave me a boost today.

3. They made a movie from the novel, Never Let Me Go, which I read in 2006, when I was in England. That was also the same period when I read The Time Traveler's Wife and The Brief History of the Dead. All rousing, happy-go-lucky books, I must say. *cough* Regardless, the trailer for NLMG looks amazing and I'm totally going to try and see it when it comes out in theaters.

4. I really want to see The Last Airbender, but I am slightly worried about the bad reviews. That whole series' narrative was perfectly complete and I was totally satisfied by the ending. *sigh* Don't want to be sadly disappointed.

5. This past week has been all kinds of weird, (in a good way?). Got to see Adam Lambert twice in concert, (and meet him as well). Met a popular AI journalist and got to hang out with him. Saw Kris Allen at Yankee Stadium. And there's the possibility another journalist might be able to help me out with finding at least some freelance work soon. All in all, I'm totally loving NYC so far, even with the slightly crappy days, here and there.

Officially found an apartment in Manhattan.

Still looking for a job.

Incredibly freaked out right now.

But, regardless, I'm going to be a New Yorker by June 15th. OMG, this summer is already all kinds of nuts, isn't it?

A quick update about NYC, etc...

I'm going to be living with a girl I work with now, who was already planning on moving to NY in June. She has contacts in the city and we are looking at cheap 2 bedroom apartments in Brooklyn. If I can arrange it, I hope I can go up to the city for a day and take a look at a few apartments and, hopefully, make a decision soon. It's weird how all of this is coming together, but it is, and I couldn't be happier about it. There's also the possibility for some freelance work and I'm keeping my fingers crossed about that as well.

Also have one credit card paid off and I'm working on putting as much as I can into my savings.

Every little bit helps. :)
