Shawn Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 According to Billy Gibbons, you should always play that tune in the key of "G Demolished". Quote
kinuta Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Hang in there mate, true grit etc. If it's any consolation I arrived in Tokyo in 1976 literally penniless, no kidding I had to beg ten yen to make a phone call! It's not easy uprooting yourself and setting up in another place. At least you are in your own country and speak the language. Quote
Shawn Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Posted July 1, 2011 I got the apartment, I move in this afternoon!!!!!! Thanks for the well wishes...now the journey can really begin. Quote

jazzbo Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Well, having talked to your new landlady, she seems very nice, I'M SO GLAD you got the apartment! All the best in your new home! I expect Pyewacket will soon relax and take a long nap. Quote
Shawn Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) I'm not real familiar with the neighborhood yet, but I'm on W. Jefferson Blvd, the nearest major cross street is Arlington Ave. There is a public library directly across from the apartment (I'm using their free wireless temporarily) and a nice little park beside that. I'm on the second floor, directly above a .99 cent store. Great building, tons of character, 12 foot ceilings, bay windows in the living room area. It's a bachelor, so there's no actual "kitchen", but the apartment comes with a full size fridge and a microwave. Nicely kept up, very secure (2 security doors on front and back), private gated parking out back, laundry room, etc. It's really the coolest place I've had since I lived in Seattle over 10 years ago...I love these old buildings. The location was the real kicker though, it's so close to both downtown, Hollywood and the beach, it's wild. Just goes to show you that when something falls through...often something better comes along to take it's place. Plus, it's about $50 cheaper than most "room-share" situations and I don't have to live with anyone else...except Pywacket of course. In fact, it's $75 a month cheaper than my apartment in Austin! Whew. I'm SO GLAD to be out of that motel in the valley... Edited July 2, 2011 by Shawn Quote
JohnS Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Delighted all's going welll Shawn. Keep us in the picture. Quote
.:.impossible Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Sounds like a great place Shawn, and an opportunity to become macrobiotic. Quote
