The Oddities Of Modern Fiction

Jun 18, 2009 18:31

So there's this one line at the beginning of Angel's Story where Dante has to say his address to a 911 operator. I realized his apartment's in the wrong part of town for his price range (the actual address I had put in is worth $2,000,000! WUT!)
Today was also the last day of school, and my mom hadn't finished making the CDs with the kids' pictures and summer work on them, so I volunteered to do them (and she payed me $1 per CD).
So I spent my morning burning CDs on her old school laptop, sitting on the floor on a pillow with papers spread around me (Angel's Story hard copy) with my laptop in my lap blasting music and apartment hunting in Boston for a 2-3 bedroom townhouse within reasonable walking distance of the Common. Within the price range for two underemployed twenty-somethings.
Not an easy task.
But I found a place that's close enough to be believable to the nit-pickers out there (thirty minute walk to the Common. That's not bad.) If I was really being picky I'd look for a place that was for sale at the time they were looking.
I'm not.
