Mattress Buying

June 28th, 2007 | General

So Sunday is the day we get our place. Priority One: Get at least a mattress and sheets so we can sleep there. With this in mind, Audrey and I went mattress shopping at our friendly, local, massive mattress superstore!

Our salesman (whose name conveniently was Matt) seemed like a really trustworthy guy! Really! [...]

Brutal Heat

June 27th, 2007 | General

I never thought 92 degrees was hot until yesterday.  92 was pretty mild in California where summer highs can get up to over 100 and not be a problem at all.  Well, this is New York and it’s my first New York summer.  Being in an apartment with no A/C makes you feel very strange [...]

The All Versatile Couch!

June 22nd, 2007 | General

So while I’m couch surfing here in NYC, the couch I currently call home is serving at least two purposes as shown below. I’ve calculated that on days that I work at home for the full eight hours and sleep on the couch (sometimes I get to trade to the blow up mattress to [...]

New Apartment!

June 22nd, 2007 | General

So yesterday I put down a deposit on an apartment that is pretty nice in Astoria/Ditmars area.  It’s only a one bedroom, so anyone who is thinking of visiting should either prepare for the couch or prepare for sleeping sardine style in the bedroom!
We met the owner last night and he had us looking over [...]

The coolest thing you will see today

Charles Shaw and the Cost of Living

June 17th, 2007 | General

Friday night we ventured into the SoHo District to see what these villages are all about. It is a very cool place, but damn, you gotta have some rich mommies and daddies to be able to live it up like some of the kids there. You’re looking at $2K + for a 1-bedroom [...]

A Dinner for Heroes

June 15th, 2007 | General

So Audrey and I went to visit the King of Heroes Sandwich Shop here in Astoria for dinner last night (and lunch today). I was so impressed with the sheer epic nature of my sandwich that I had to take some pics.

There it is, Italian bread, prosciutto, Virginia ham, Swiss cheese, and everything*

Here’s a [...]

Where Not to Work

June 13th, 2007 | General

Aquent wanted me to go do a freelance job for part of the day today, so with me being ready to do anything to please Aquent at the present moment, I agreed.. why not?  This company was an agency that from the best I can tell, only creates presentations for companies.  But, they do them [...]

Job Search Update!

June 12th, 2007 | General

I hate looking for jobs.
With that said, I went on an interview today for this Specialty Holding company in White Plains. After a subway ride, express train ride, and taxi ride, it took me nearly an hour and a half to get to this office. So, hopefully it would be worth my while [...]

Everybody’s Working for the Weekend!

June 8th, 2007 | General

So with the news of the brand new Santa Rosa based Macbook Pro released yesterday, I decided that there are few better things to do in New York City on a friday night than go to the Apple Store on 5th and 59th!

Apparently we’re going to some Indian restaurant in the city for some girl’s [...]

This is going to be where the search and other helpful things go. Patience baldies!
