classic jw quote upon taking in the view from dave's roof: "why do i live in williamsburg?"

bell_labs, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link

metaphorically speaking

bell_labs, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link

I was hoping one of you had found me a new apt.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 19:35 (sixteen years ago) link

RW you are only 45 months old?

Jon Lewis, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link

y i am very smart

river wolf, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Conversely, my place's second bedroom has only been empty for a month now and I'm sort of desperate to get someone else in there. Luckily I think I have someone lined up for January.

Eric H., Wednesday, 10 October 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link

i would pay morbs' rent with you just to read the stories

sanskrit, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link

wait, you're eric h. i somehow read that as tombot

sanskrit, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link

They are very different guys -- Tombot answers emails promptly.

Dr Morbius, Monday, 15 October 2007 18:10 (sixteen years ago) link

My all time record that didn't involve simply not answering is probably about three months. I think I've had living arrangements that have lasted longer.

Eric H., Monday, 15 October 2007 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link

six months pass...

cancelled this morning's apartment appointment when I saw yesterday wot a shitty block it was on (St Marks next to Franklin Ave shuttle)

Dr Morbius, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:24 (sixteen years ago) link

ive only heard about rooms in places, sorry doc

but i do know of 2 open rooms in green point. both reasonable (like 700)but in shares

bb, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:20 (sixteen years ago) link

HEEEEEY, Morbs. I can't picture it exactly but I don't think I'd call anything around there "shitty". Fuck, I wish I could afford to move back. How much is the apt again?

Laurel, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:30 (sixteen years ago) link

Franklin shuttle area aint that bad

sanskrit, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:33 (sixteen years ago) link

a thousand. It's opposite some kind of therapy center, lotsa barbed wire -- no thx. Maybe if I was 26.

Dr Morbius, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:34 (sixteen years ago) link

whoa google maps street view is kind of racist

sanskrit, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:36 (sixteen years ago) link

how so?

I'm seeing rent-stabilized studio on Ocean Pkwy (nr Ditmas) tnite. I have feeling I'm going to be offered it if I like it -- of course, apt that's $225 a month LESS in Midwood is taking forever to get their paperwork together. So if I say no, I'll be taking Door #2, Monty.

Dr Morbius, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, actually, that might be across from the methadone clinic, and if so that might actually be the worst place in that part of Crown Heights to be. I take it all back.

skrit, googlemaps streetview loves them some mac-user demographic, huh? Turns out there's like nothing photo'ed east of Flatbush.

Laurel, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:42 (sixteen years ago) link

lol shocking

tehresa, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:51 (sixteen years ago) link

lol
greenpoint and teh burg aren't on it either fwiw

sleep, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:52 (sixteen years ago) link

might be across from the methadone clinic

bingo!

Dr Morbius, Monday, 12 May 2008 16:57 (sixteen years ago) link

i live across from a men's shelter and it's totally fine.

tehresa, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link

well, we are different peepul.

"mac-user demographic"

i'm going to have to remember this euphemism

sanskrit, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link

Feel free, I stole it from Nabisco.

Laurel, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link

It looks like I am signing tomorrow for the 4th-floor apt in doorman bldg near the d1tm4s F stop. If I want to get out after a month, I'll just invite the noise board over to use the pool on the roof.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link

roof pool is pretty sweet!

s1ocki, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 17:23 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm on the stop before that one (tho not for much longer)

impudent harlot, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 20:36 (sixteen years ago) link

by b4, you mean further out? cuz I'm at Church now.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

hey, my landlady is threatening to keep my $900 deposit since I gave her 25 days' notice of moving instead of the prescribed 30! FUN.

I can't find my copy of the 'lease', but I don't doubt the 30 days are in there. I'm saved only in she gets a renter for 7/1.

Options short of murder?

Dr Morbius, Friday, 6 June 2008 13:46 (fifteen years ago) link

isn't your landlady also forcing you to move out? omg what a bitchy move.

bell_labs, Friday, 6 June 2008 13:49 (fifteen years ago) link

oh hey, i'm not banned from noise board anymore. weird!

bell_labs, Friday, 6 June 2008 13:50 (fifteen years ago) link

I wanted to leave last year -- before I was attempted to slice and boil her fucking hyperactive kids -- but couldn't find anything.

I could've given her notice 3 weeks ago but saw no reason to. OOPS

It's Brooklyn, 2 stops from Pk Slope, she'll be able to find a fucking tenant. (esp with that smiling "You won't hear A THING down here" bullshit she used on me)

Dr Morbius, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:00 (fifteen years ago) link

attempted = tempted

(The upstairs tenant also wants the kid to vanish)

btw, landlady has huge weightlifter husband.

Dr Morbius, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:01 (fifteen years ago) link

DrMorbius: I know of a little boy's brothel in western Russia that's looking for a new disciplinarian-- they could really use someone with your jaguarian prowess. pays well. perhaps you will consider this path???

usic, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:02 (fifteen years ago) link

oh, it also looks like I'll have to move the morning after getting back from 5-day vacation. FUN NEVER STOPS

Dr Morbius, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:02 (fifteen years ago) link

also: troll, just give your dad the job

Dr Morbius, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:28 (fifteen years ago) link
