Problem 90… show yourself!

May 21st, 2008

The only people who really read this blog are my dad and Riki, and 2-3 friends, depending on how many enemies I’ve made in the past week. (Hi dad, hi riki, hi friends!) There are some of you though, who stumble on my blog by googling things like “out of breath when I climb” (yes, me too) or “all about potholes from acne” (what? sick…) and a few pervy things I won’t mention.

So this news, this problem 90 announcement is for you, the people who aren’t my dad or Riki or friends: Riki and I are moving to New York!

This is New York.

Problem 90 was going to be some sort of big life change, but when I declared it, I wasn’t exactly sure what that change would be. So this is it, here it is, we’re moving. This will definitely present some logistical challenges for some of my problems - I’ll figure them out as I go. But look for a whole bunch of NYC related problems to be announced soon. Oh, and a question for my readers: do you think it’s cheating if I make finding an apartment a problem? Please say no.

And Chicago friends, be advised that there will be a bunch of problems crammed into the next few weeks… margarita party? you guys free?

From what I hear, finding an apartment in the City is quite an epic problem.

It’s got my vote.

Welcome to NY and good luck with the apartment…That is the worst part about living here, but the numerous awesome places to eat and see will more than make up for it: Vietnamese sandwiches, sushi and central park are just a few.
18. jessi | May 28th, 2008 at 10:30 am

thanks! yes, I’m definitely not looking forward to the apartment hunt, but I am looking forward to drowning my sorrows about the apartment hunt with delicious meals.
