Looked at a bunch of apartments today. The winningest one was that sunken place, I think, since its size, location, and price can't be beat. It's really big, a minute (literally) from the Davis T, and less expensive than my first apartment here. Not sure about the view, since the view out every window is dirt.

cthulhia suggests the possibility of setting up action-figure dioramas in the dirt outside, but we'll see what happens.

Speaking of food-eating battle monkeys, I like this story about the candy-eating knife monkey.

Don't know what the quare footage is. I don't have much of an idea how these numberss map to reality, anyway; I have been been eyeballing places to see how big or small they are.

I saw some pathetically small studio apartments for $900, which is pretty much what they've been going for since at least 2000, even though larger apartments are getting cheaper. One place we looked at was a single room with some kitchen appliances glued to one wall, and a "bathroom nook" next to the single door. "Yikes," I said. "Welcome home!" said Mike the realtor, with a grin. "Let's move on, shall we?"
