I received a note on my door yesterday from Brian informing me that he was going to be moving out on January 31st. He included a reimbursement for my January rent, so I'm assuming that means if he goes, I have to go. It makes sense, because if the landlord starts seeing checks from someone not on the lease, he's going to realize that rent control has run out and will raise the rent sky-high. So, after the decision to postpone move, I'm pulling up stakes after all.

I've found a few places that look quite nice. They're going to be a little expensive at first ($800+), but they are fine with couples, and Dianna will probably be joining me in a few months. So what will be financially painful at first will soon become $400-450 rent. If I find/take any pictures of the places, I'll post them for you image-hungry monsters to peruse.

By the way, the above picture is from a 1980s Infocom text-adventure game. It's an amazingly detailed and rich story. They just don't make them like they used to. Thank the stars for #oldwarez.
