rhondacrockettYay for another Tuesday night with nobody in except me!!! *Dances around enjoying her US cop shows without subtitles* When Goren starts laying on his psychological-manipulating shit, he makes me think of pondweed. I've been thinking: how come no one notices that Goren is the Giant-Cockroach-Disguise in Men in Black? Or that Briscoe is Jennifer Grey's dad in Dirty Dancing? Did those parts go to different actors? Or do "Vincent D'Onofrio" and "Jerry Orbach" just look different in the Law & Order universe? (I had similar thoughts about the Friends episode with Brad Pitt: how come no one notices that it's BRAD PITT?!?) Oh yeah, and the clown-fixated couple in CSI were dumb. All TV murderers are dumb! Don't they watch cop shows? Don't they know that blood and semen don't wash out?!? Don't they know you DON'T KEEP ANYTHING BELONGING TO THE VICTIM LYING AROUND YOUR HOUSE FOR THE COPS TO FIND?!?!
Had a nice phone call from the Student Accommodation Office, asking me about my application form. I'm looking at 2-bedroom flats at the moment. They're all so expensive! Like, £400+ - that's £200 per month EACH. And I'm betting that any under £400 are really shitty and/or in avoid-at-all-cost areas. Mark's nurse hasn't been in contact, so I don't even know if I've got anyone to move with yet. *Sigh* I haven't had to do this in so long. I've been living in the same group for 3 years now. I'm all out of practice at looking for somewhere, and I've forgotten where the no-go areas are (apart from the obvious - Tates Avenue, the Holylands, Donegall Road).
I should go now, and look for accommodation some more.
::Edit:: I reckon I could maybe stretch to £200 per month. My problem is knowing how much this other girl is prepared to pay. I did find a property which would be £170/month, which is what I'm currently paying, but it's in the Botanic Avenue area, where I've never been before, and don't know anyone who's been, and where I heard there's been some trouble with rowdiness. There's another property on a street where I have stayed before, and is very very convenient for both uni and the hospital, but again, it will be £200/month for each of us, and I don't know whether this other girl will want to pay that or not.
Now I'm hungry. ::End Edit::
