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.

Out of curiosity... what kind of square footage is in that sunken place? I'm not sure about other cities, but in Madison an 'inexpensive' 1 bedroom apartment is on the order of 400-500 square feet. 'Efficiency' apartments are a bit smaller than that.

Funny you should point to that link. Just yesterday I told someone about this candy-eating knife monkey story and I didn't get more than about 3 sentences in before he pretty much said 'bullshit' to the story and refused to listen to any more of it. He apparently knows some people at zoo facilities and says it is against federal law to have any animals -- (zoo animals or even pet animals) in any zoo food prep area. This is one of those strictly enforced 'shut the place down' laws if word got out about it. -- The only way this could even possibly be true in his opinion is if the zoo were outside the USA or if the story were at least 10 years old.
