i have come full circle.

i remember about 2.5 years ago when i decided to stop by for a few months to try my luck out in new york, i asked peiru to check out an apt on the lower east side for me. a little ghetto-ish place on attorney st (up til now, frequenters of the les still don't know it's right next to clinton st!). she said- hmm not so sure about the place- it's kind of in a shady neighbourhood. i couldn't be bothered to spend more time looking so i said aiyah, just take it.

well, two months into it, i realized my landlady was a non-bill-paying, anorexic, free spirited transcriber-aspiring-musical writer. i flipped out and left. should have listened to peiru when she said "she's a little... well... loopy"

so anyway, 2.5 years later, attorney st still lies undiscovered in the shadow of its hipper neighbour, clinton st. but i'm moving back to the LES to end my time here with a bang!

this time a much nicer apt, on allen and rivington where it's all at. not a dark and dinky sublet with strange mannequin busts hanging from the ceiling. have lots of light and a cool "terrace" as we endearingly call our roof with a huge ac unit sitting in the middle of it.

i like to tell people i'm next to the hotel on rivington- how swanky
