Alright. I'm refocussing. Let's talk more about apartment. Because this remains at the forefront (can you tell I'm back to writing speeches? who uses the word forefront?). Yesterday I saw a place that I love love loved and think I might be able to barely afford. It's the top floor of a walk up building right outside of Times Square. Pluses: I could walk to work.

I trekked a vast radius of midtown this afternoon, in stilettos, in the pouring rain, apartment hunting. If there were hills involved, I imagine it would have been uphill both ways. After one douche bag blew me off entirely, I came across a charming, definitely leaning left, five story walkup in Hell's Kitchen.

Day 9 on Yankee soil! The love around me has words spilling, laughter echoing, and consistent sighs breathing fresh, lilac-scented secrets that whisper, I think I might just finally be onto something... I have an interview on Monday in Manhattan. It's more of a preliminary screening... but I must admit... I'm quite excited at the opportunity to put on my grownup clothes and dance over to midtown... I've already started rehearsing lines that...
