i have spoken to pharaoh. he told me that A. landed a head teacher position in a swanky private school in Brooklyn. pharaoh reminded me that my 3 month lease extension expires at the end of august.
then aaron came over, and offered a hookup – he was about to come into some money, and was planning on buying a multifloor brownstone in n. park slope, and wanted to offer a low-low rent while the place was being fixed up. aaron has yet to get his shit together, in terms of setting up a closing date. i am unsure that aaron’s deal will work out, but, if it does, i will be splitting rent on a place which would cost total, monthly, less than my first apartment did 11 years ago.
then raguel called with an insane hookup. a full floor apartment _in_ brookyln heights, with a backyard, under the price range cap we’ve been looking for in a rental situation – anything i’ve scoped in this range, with a broker, was at least 900$ a month more than this. i’m seeing it on wednesday afternoon.
the point is i’m leaving the fucking promised land. with the position A. has, and her hours, the options are the east village or brooklyn, the closer to the heights the better. i never thought i’d live anywhere in nyc but manhattan, but then again, i thought i’d be dead already, or married with kids long ago. shows what i know.
i was in maine again this past weekend to catch up with friends at a beach house. totally stole the weekend. i am thinking i _have_ to stay local this weekend, or i may collapse from exhaustion while seeking relaxation. i’ve spent over a day and a half in a car so far in the month of june. anything goin on that i can take advantage of?
