Whores and ugly buildings.
30 May 2007
If you’re looking through a newspaper for either an apartment or a soulmate, chances are you’re not going to find much worthwhile.
I lost a third apartment yesterday to “an earlier application” (though I admit this time I actually believe it) and let another promising lead evaporate today. What’s strange is that as I am more deeply in the market for rentals, I’m finding that the pursuit for a decent apartment and a significant other are fraught with similar pitfalls—problematic conformity, lowered expectations, and of course, dealbreakers.
