Apartment Hunting
Unofficially, I’ve been apartment hunting for several months, perusing craigslist at the end of the workday, looking for something special.
Then along came a sweet little deal in Malibu. $1095 for a single apartment just a walk away to the beach. I work in Malibu, why not live there? It’s what people dream of after all.
Then, ironically, the day I was to visit the apartment, my friends decided my apartment would be the perfect place for a barbecue. Everyone came over, drank, played Wii, and I cooked. It was a lovely day, and it reminded me that the place I’m living isn’t really that bad after all. I missed the appointment to see the Malibu place, but I didn’t feel forlorn about it in the least.
The barbecue day was fine, yet at the same time I realized, if I was almost willing to pay $1100 to live in Malibu, why wouldn’t I pay $1100 to live somewhere else in L.A.?
I began searching around with the new price bracket, and it turns out the options open up quite a bit for a few hundred dollars more per month (coincidentally, I got a $240 raise per month which also helps).
So, back to searching I go, this time I think I’ll look downtown. I always enjoyed living 20 stories up in college, maybe I can do it again. The only tricky thing is, the further in I move, the longer my daily commute. Bah, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Without further ado, here are four beautiful blogs worth gandering over:
Caveman Diet - It’s primal, it’s hot, it’s a summertime diet craze!
Vitamin information - pretty basic, but helpful
The vitamin shop - if you’re looking to buy, this is the place.
How to relieve stress - my suggestion is the beach, but maybe not right now considering how crowded it is.
