im in ur city hunting a cardbord boks to live in

[tahnan]

My wife suggested I needed a cat macro that says "I can has apartmant nou?" The thing is, lolcat is clearly a degenerate form of real estate adspeak anyway, so it seems redundant. But among the things I DO. NOT. WANT. are:

• People who forget that Craigslist isn't the real estate pages; there's no need to post "4th fl. walk-up, h/w floors, w/d in building". Spell it out. Give more details. Details are good.
• People who forget that Craigslist isn't a college writing assignment where you have to write at least two pages. Shut up already.
• Spam. Stop telling me about these repossessed homes whose mortgages I can buy. Or these vague apartment postings with generic pictures and a link to a random website, often something like "kentuckyapartments.com". The worst so far was a very nice description of a very reasonable-sounding apartment, at Tara Blvd. and Iron Gate Lane in Jonesboro. Long commute, though.

Another charming ad tells me: "NO SMOKING OR DRINKING (EXCEPT 2 DRINKS PER DAY)." But who's counting?

Also very tired.

But we'd be neighbors again!

Sounds dreadful. I hate the whole housing-hunt process.

Didn't I connect you with my quasistepsister (who lives in Philly) last time you were apartment hunting? Do you want me to reconnect you?

Are you adverse to living in the 'burbs? My mom works for a real estate agency but I don't think they do much in the city, mostly Delaware County. I could get you in touch with them. And my condo is right next to their office!
