Sometimes the Squirrels Stare in my Window at Me Like They Know I've Got Their Nuts
I don't even want the previous entry at the top of my LJ page, so this is, among other things, an effort to move the previous entry "below the fold" as it were.
Do you think a decade or two from now "above the fold" and "below the fold" will have become esoteric expressions which plenty of people use, but of which fewer and fewer people know the origin?
So my apartment manager called me up a few Saturday's back and let me know that our landlord is bankrupt and our building has been foreclosed upon. This was just weeks after we all signed new one-year leases.
I spent the rest of the weekend in a complete panicked fog that I was going to be kicked out of this wonderful place I call home. The anxiety has eased off since. I keep reminding myself I can't panic because I'm not a family of 4 - 5 who's lived in this place for years, and has kids who have grown up here and go to school in the neighborhood. I'm young and I'm poor, but I've just got me to look after, so I should be able to handle this.
I don't know what's happening - no one does, really. We didn't have to pay rent this month. Supposedly we'll be dividing up the utilities, but the landlord hasn't given us the numbers yet. I feel like there are any one of a hundred ways this could play out, making it nearly impossible to anticipate. So I'm keeping a weather eye to Craigslist and trying to go with the flow and wing it and play it by ear and etc. and etc.
And sometimes I'm just trying not to think of it at all.
The theater is awesome as usual. We're in the final week of the first show, and sales are looking better than expected. There seem to be a lot more new-comers than usual, which is great. Usually we just get a lot of new patrons around christmas. People are letting the online ticket-ordering site defeat them in really stupid ways though. Scroll buttons are beyond some people's understanding.
Anyone want half-price tickets, btw? I can get 'em for you...
