If there was ever a sign I needed to move...I came home from work today to find my sink and half of the kitchen flooded with black water. The neighbor's drain upstairs was clogged and the plumber who snaked it basically shoved the clog right down to me! Someone's supposedly coming tomorrow to replace half the carpet in the dining room, but I got stuck cleaning the kitchen and a certain rug I had in front of the sink is toast. Do I need to explain how anxious I am to move?
To de-stress, The Brother and I ended up going for sushi and plowed through two pitchers of beer. He actually drove home after the first pitcher and then walked back so we could drink the second pitcher without any worries.
On a more positive note, I drove through Silver Lake earlier today and really loved it. The neighborhood has all the urban perks I like--funky little restaurants and shops and bars, lots of variety of languages and cultures--and yet there are a bunch of small and quiet residential streets that wind up hilltops and feel like total hideaways. I can see myself there and there seem to be several options in my price range. It's a good thing.

Silver Lake is SUCH a great area. I think Beachwood Cyn. is the same area -- love it over there, too.
We should hang out again soon! Sushi? Drinks? Both?
I'd love to hang out. Give me a week or two because I'm crazed right now.
Went back through Silver Lake. It's lovely around the reservoir. Problem is that I can't afford that part. The parts that I can afford edge along Echo Park or are south of Sunset and closer to the freeway--this little Jewish girl just ain't sure about those parts.
I like Beachwood Canyon too, but I'm wary of the near-dumps in my price range.
Totally frustrating. I may end up looking for another rental in the gayborhood on a street I actually love instead of settling for a very expensive but totally unimpressive condo or tiny house. We'll see.
