I went out apartment hunting this weekend, for reasons you already know if you read this often. I found a complex I liked, but they didn’t have any upcoming two bedroom apartments (the one bedrooms were too small for me) on the bottom floor. I want to be on the bottom floor for heat reasons. So anyway, I went in today between work and bowling to drop off the application to get on the waiting list for a downstairs apartment.

While I was at the bowling alley about an hour and a half later, I got a call on my cell phone. Turns out about an hour after I left, someone came in and gave their thirty days notice that they would be vacating a downstairs, two bedroom, corner apartment. I just can’t believe the timing…

As for the bowling, I did extremely well tonight. My parents were there, because they’re in Santa Barbara for the week, and they got to watch me bowl a 634 series (223-221-190). I’m very happy with that series, and it brought my league average up over 180. The last game – the 190 – I don’t know how I pulled that off. It seemed every shot I threw was awful, I left three splits in my first five frames, and don’t remember getting two strikes in a row in that game. But somehow, it turned into a reasonable game. The other two games I was just throwing good shots.

Time to sleep. Good night.

You really got succeded. I am glad for you. Let me share with you my apartment search experience. Few months ago I was looking for an apartment in Los Angeles (I got a job there). I could not even think about difficulties which were waiting for me. I checked ads, went to agencies which offered houses, but nothing was as useful as Internet.Of course, I concentrated to my needs (considered the area I would like to live, made a list of my top housing priorities, considered amenities and etc. ), created my own note-taking system and allowed my self time. I could eliminate apartments which did not meet my needs. I saved time and money. I found beautiful apartment and I am very satisfied with my new home.
