My new pad...

...is almost exactly the same as my old one. In fact it is the exact same. It's even got the exact same coordinates as the last, only this one is 15 feet closer to the core of the Earth. My roommate moved out a couple days ago so I just spent all day moving all my stuff over to the good bedroom and cleaning the rest of the apartment. I was thinking of waiting until my company sent the cleaners tomorrow but they're a bunch of worthless handicaps anyways and I wanted to get moved into my new room immediately. The living room looks a little bit sparse in terms of furniture-that's because I comandeered the TV and the sofa for my bedroom.

Mom keeps bugging me to tell a little about my roommates so I guess I will. I don't have any! Hah! This is what happened with the apartment situation. I decided that I wanted out of this apartment so I gave my 30 day notice. After several weeks of searching, I found out how hard it is for a gaijin to find an apartment, especially if he wants to stay in one of the smaller communities. So I called back my company only to find that our lease had been cancelled. So my roommate ended up having to move as well. Because it seemed like everyone was leaving, the girl below us decided that she was also going to leave. So her and my roommate Adam got a place in Ikebukero and I got a call from my company saying that there was now a free apartment in the apartment below mine (the girl who just moved out.) So anyways to make a long story short I decided to grab that one. I didn't succeed in finding a cheaper place but for now at least I'm living in a three bedroom apartment all by myself. We'll see how long that lasts.
