The Apartment Hunt Begins

Sunday I slept in, which was much needed. Then, Matt and I began The Great Apartment Search of 2008. For those who haven't heard, we've decided to get a place together starting in December. The market moves so fast in New York that we can't really start looking until at least Oct. 15th or so, but we happened to see an ad for a place in Park Slope that was for Dec. 1, so we decided to take a look. We went to the management office and the broker took us to see the place, which it turned out was way too small. It's hard to know how square footage actually looks until you see it. Anyway, it was still good, in that it helped get me back into my Real Estate Game Face, where I take no prisoners, and it helped us get an idea of how much space we need. From looking at Craig's List, it appears that what we want does actually exist, which is reassuring :) Anyway, we headed into the city to do some shopping, then got dinner at Yummy House. Went home and watched "Ghost Busters," which is a really weird movie.
