Always the way...
Apartment buying is not this difficult for normal people…
The lawyer/mortgage broker/attorneys all agree with me, by the way.
Next time I hear someone complain about the hassle of getting a mortgage, I’m going to fall on the floor laughing because they have no idea how easy that part is in comparison to all of our bonus fun…
FOMO
Just preordered tickets for hunger games. (Least favorite part of living in nyc is crap like having to preorder movie tix…)
Going to be pissed when they now subsequently release imax dates…
I love House Hunters...

In a moment of urban claustrophobia, thedept and I hopped in a zipcar and played with paint colors & appliances at lowes, and returned all of my jason wu for target haul (boo!) & made sensible home purchases at target.
Among those target purchases was a box of kashi granola bars… And by the time we got to the car, we were tired and hungry and decided to bust out those granola...
My unstoppable brain
Every time I move, I get obsessed with crime rates… (I suppose this is due to my very sheltered, ultra-safe upbringing in central nj…)
And every time I start to freak myself out, I remind myself that I lived alone in a ground floor, no doorman, apartment in Wilmington, DE for 3 years and compare their crime rates to my new areas rates and instantly feel better…
Need a last minute dessert tonight?
tinsely:
So easy. So yummy. I found it here and made it for the Superbowl. Then I even brought the leftovers to work the next day and had a ton of people asking me for the recipe.
CAKE BATTER “DIP”
1 box of cake mix (I chose funfetti. obvi.)
1 1/2 cups of plain yogurt (I used lowfat.)
2 cups of Cool Whip (I used fat free.)
That’s it. And it tastes just like cake batter, minus the threat of...

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s Tuesday, February 14th. Here’s our list of recommended beer-related events in and around New York after work tonight:
Big and old: Vintage Barleywines are the subject of this week’s free Tuesday Tasting at Bierkraft (191 Fifth Ave., at President St., Park Slope)…
Proud to say our super-romantic* vday plans include pony bar with a few...
deep thoughts
umcanyounot:
would you trade getting mildly hit by a car (just a few bumps and bruises - nothing serious - but still traumatic) if, in turn, you got a paid week off of work?
This means you need to look for a new job, stat. I contemplated getting into a minor accident nearly every day of my first post-college-career-type job. To this day I still can make jaws drop with stories of the hell...

heywhysoserious:
My failure at DIY projects is not for lack of trying – I was in Girl Scouts until I was 18 (because yes, I was also devastatingly cool), and I was always that kid who brought home the slightly wonky sock snowman/sea shell picture frame/decoupage Mother’s Day vase. My

These tweets about Chris Brown disgust me.

Chicago!
bees-knees:
I need first date restaurant recommendations. Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere. Very general, I know. But I was told to “pick anywhere” (in an endearing “you had a bad week, I’ll take you wherever you want” way, not a lazy “you pick, I don’t care way”, but i feel put on the spot) and all I really want is to go to Chicago Cut and eat a steak. But that seems like a bit...

– “A Proposal for Penn Station and Madison Square Garden,” from The New York Times. (via taylorlorenz)
Apt description.
That’s about right… Grand Central is my favorite spot in nyc. Penn Station, one of my least favorites… I’ll legit take a subway an extra stop to avoid...

Okay, this isn’t great.
But, last year we had to suffer through the Black-Eyed Peas.
I consider this a success, lip-syncing and all.
Agreed…
