A New Lease

September 1, 2009 11:32 PM

es, I'm finally moving. Soon, I'll be far away from all the shenanigans at my current place. All indications are that my new place is mostly drug-dealer free. Yay!

The lease at my new place actually started today. The lease on my old place ends on the last day of this month. This--together with the fact that I got a month's free rent at the new place--means that I get to take a whole month to move. This works out great because I really want to try at my new place.

By "try," I don't just mean that I want to keep my place relatively presentable all the time, but I also mean that I want it to be actively nice. I'm painting, for example, and spending entirely too much time thinking about a color scheme. And, thought I'll have to do it piece by piece, I'm going to start replacing all of my crappy, "I'm a student" furniture. And, while this has nothing to do with keeping the place presentable to the general public, I'm buying a king-size bed.

I went over to the new place today and walked around, trying to visualize where I'm going to put things and whatever else. It's really strange because I have to keys to the place and I've signed the lease, but it doesn't even vaguely feel like home yet. I don't know where all the switches are or even what they all do yet. I've lived in my current place for five years, so I'm extremely familiar with it and all of its quirks (read: flaws).

Still, the new place is better in every way. It's bigger (it's got two bedrooms and two baths), the kitchen's more open and it's got more counterspace, there's more closet space, and there's a dishwasher and a washer and dryer right in the apartment. No more hording quarters! It's like I'm an adult or some shit.

I'll post pictures of the place once it starts to come together. But if any of you have some free time on September 20th, I could totally use some help moving.

i thought for a second there that you were affecting a pittsburghese accent. "try at my new place" is how a yinzer might say "try out my new place."

L-dawg and I can help - no more big SUV, but our little Kia has ample trunk space. Just promise us you'll be more organized than David :)

What do you mean "mostly drug dealer free?" It's like you're putting out an open invitation for some ass-clown with a few rocks and a do-rag to step out onto my corner.

I can already see that having you out here is going to be bad for business. It seems to me that a "Welcome to the Neighborhood Drive-By" is in order...
