Celebratory War-Whoop: We Will Not Be Homeless + Drinky Drinky

[xraytheenforcer]

Thank you, all who crossed fingers, toes, nostril hairs ("but whatever you do, don't cross the streams!") for the housing biz. We got approved for the apartment! Move in date: July 1. Yep, cuttin' that bad mutha closecloseclose. But at least we are still in our neighborhood (so I can give my money to the proprietors I like -- cheese shop, wine shop, nifty indie clothing boutique) and near the subway. In all, a fab outcome. Next up, giving Ikea my money, because the one thing this place lacks is ample closet space.
