I interviewed for an apartment, today. In Forest Hills of all places. It went well. I find out tommorrow if I get the room. Now after I use the facilities, I'm gonna got to my corner bar and have a few pops. Also, yesterday, me, a flight attendant, a postal worker, an ad agency intern, a banker, a retiree, a teacher and assorted other urban flotsam found a man guilty of selling a $20 bag of crack. This took two weeks. I'll talk to y'all in a few hours.

You have to interview for apts? Wow. And where is Forest Hills? Is that good? Hoist one for me. This damn cold won't go the fuck away. .V.

You've got to be kidding? That whole trial thingamabob was over a single drug sale? I thought it was something important, like unpaid parking tickets.

Forest Hills is cool--express subway, and really good food there too.

I lived in Forest Hills one summer. It's a loooooong ride in on the E train.

Yes, it was over a single drug sale. and they had the poor bastard dead to rights. and to be honest I don't have all that much sympathy for a crack dealer. I'm interviewing for a room in an apartment, so I guess I can't blame the woman for wanting to get to know who she'll be living with.

In other news, I just went to my corner bar. The old boozeheads there said that they'll miss me, including the barmaid, since I'm a good tipper and I always put good tunes on the jukebox. But, again, it's not a done deal. Pray for mojo.

*puts on her priestess outfit and prays for mojo* Good luck on getting the place. It looks like it would be a straight shot to work on the E for you, and that's always a good thing.

Good luck with the apartment jon. As someone who has pulled jury duty a few times myself, I know what it's like, not a hell of a lot of fun.

Say, jon. I've got a half-duplex for rent. 2 Bdr. 1 bath. Full basement. Garage. $600 mo.

The bad news is it's in Bellingham, WA. As in "why did the young people move to Bellingham?" A: No jobs.

I interview tenants / show the house on Monday.

3 prospects so far. Two couples (one with baby) and one single guy. I'm rooting for the couple with baby, but first up with deposit takes it - fair housing laws and all.

It's moving season all over.

Your evil slumlord,

I missed something somewhere. But I can't believe you are going to move from Astoria! What will the blind musician and the basketball coach do? Good Luck with the room.

My dad grew up in Forest Hills, and he took me back to his old 'hood once when I was a kid. Cool place. Good luck.
