11.12.2002Ok, so waiting could be the worst part of finding an apartment. The order goes like this: 1. Look for places on Westsiderentals.com and ask if the place in question is still available. 2. Go look at the place and make sure it's at least the same as the picture shown online. 3. Go inside the place and make sure it has no strange looking stains on the floor, bathtub, or walls. 4. If the place meets certain requirements, take an application and fill it out, give it back and pay $20/each for a credit check. 5. Hope that your credit isn't at all that bad, and hope that missing a few school payments which were all paid back, doesn't ruin you. 6. Wait for a decision to be made, in the meanwhile still looking for places because you're never sure what will happen. Ok so we've applied to the place we looked at Saturday, we've waited, we've called, we've waited some more, we've called again, and now we're waiting. Waiting until when, do you ask? Friday. FRIDAY! Argh, we need to move this weekend, and this guy is telling us to meet his mom (who owns the building and is making the decision) on Friday. I asked him if we at least have a chance, because I don't see the point if he's just leading us on until we're screwed. But he said there are two other couples who have applied, and that we're all pretty much even. Now it's all about...who is more stable. Oi. I just hope that the other couples are psycho. :/ Anyhow...I'm proud of myself. Two updates in two days. Go me. :) blogged by Chaz @ 5:00 PM |
11.11.2002Wow. So I really am averaging one post per month. I really do suck. Maybe if I leave a post-it note on my computer screen, reminding me to update my blog each day, I'll pay attention to it. :/ Well, let's see. The current news. Rachel and I are moving to Glendale next weekend, I'm working on that new HBO show I spoke of last update, and we're adopting Danielle's cat, Titus. :) Rachel and I have been searching for places for quite sometime now, and we recently found this great place in the Glendale hills, right above GCC which is great for Rachel because she needs to go to school and finish her stuff so she can transfer. The only thing about this place, is that it's not entirely secured by us, yet. Apparently, before we could get the opportunity to go look at it Saturday, a girl went and saw it Friday and already put a deposit on the place. But, the guy renting it seems to like us more, and has kinda given us the *wink* go-ahead to fill out applications and put a deposit down as well. See, the girl didn't fill out an application yet, so today I went and dropped those off..making us one step ahead of her. :D Anyhow, the new HBO western is in the midst of shooting it's pilot episode, and has high confidence in being picked up for a full season. I believe them, because it's THAT good. This show is awesome to work on, and I'm glad I committed to growing a beard for it...it was worth it. Danielle is moving back in with her "used to be" ex-bf, but now is her current bf, and can't have a pet. So since Rachel and I have been basically taking care of Titus since Danielle has spent more time over at Tryg's than at home...we've decided to adopt him. He seems to love us, and we love him. :) Ok, so...I'll write that post-it note now, and make sure I post again tomorrow. Adios! blogged by Chaz @ 1:19 AM |
