I found the apartment building. Big and beautiful (and dark green, one of my favorite colors), it looks like a brand-new building, even though it's on top of Davis Square; I guess whatever was there previously was knocked down, unless it was a parking lot or something (unlikely). Going to call them Monday. Its location probably makes it pretty pricey, and so I suppose I'd better come up with a limit now. My first apartment here was $1,200/month, which I could manage OK, on a smaller salary than I have now. And that was an ugly apartment (one giant, square room with an accordian divider, blah) in a do-nothing neighborhood. I suppose I'd pay more for a handsome apartment right on the square. We'll see how much more, I guess.

I really want to break out of my cycle of annual (or worse) moves, which I've been stuck in for many years. I thought Minas Morgul would last for at least a couple of years, but it didn't. And I think I would rather have a little place all to myself, at the end of the day. (And in the mornings, too.) Well, the timing here may be auspicious; the house clearly isn't quite ready for tenants yet, with its parking lot marked off but not yet filled in (at least, I'm assuming that gravelly pit is the future parking lot and not the world's worst Zen rock garden) but I bet it will open right when my current lease runs out.
