| I'm moving out
After a week-long apartment/room search, I found a decent-sized apartment/ room for $350/month, and I'm moving in on Sunday....
Shower me with congratulations... starting... now!!

| Congrats.
I still remeber my fist apartment. 120 square foot studio.
My bed pulled out of the wall and the kitchen was so small that you couldn't open the fridge door all the way. I had two nice sized windows with a beautiful view of the brick wall of the adjacent building. Pidgeons nested just outside of said windows.

| I'm renting a room in Brooklyn with 2 roommates, and I'm paying 350/month, plus utilities...
So it's not exactly the city... but it may actually be cooler, as it's closer to work and food is cheaper..

btw, biggs, $350/mo. isn't bad for NY. i heard cost of living there is ridiculous so thats probably a good deal you got. only thing is that its with 2 other roommates and that for me sucks but if its ok with you then fine. right now i have one other roommate ($280/mo) and it sucks..and we're friends. i really wish i had my own place; its the ideal situation however i'd still prefer living with parents over roommates. | |

BTW - my first apartment after college in the city was $395, and I split that cost with one roommate. Loved it. The experience, the location, the roommate, the city, everything. Especially all the boxes of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, which was about all I was able to afford for dinner every night! | |

And this is like the only thread in the Water Cooler in the past year I haven't responded to...I guess my presence was missed.
And Boba's presence was missed as well.  | |

Speaking of Bobba, next star wars movie will be somewhat violent, word on the street says. Possibly even R16 violent, but most likely R13. Even still, means more violence! Hopefully when Anakin turns into Darth (If you didn't know by now, you CANNOT b*tch at me) he will carve Jar Jar into ribbons.
There goes most of Lucas's target market, but he's rich as the hills anyway.
