Moved In, Getting Settled.

Is it weird to check out your neighborhood from your window at eleven o’clock at night? Well, that’s what I was doing last night. Overall a pretty quiet street. The weekends were a little louder, but on a sunday night everything settled down at about 10:15 – 10:30. A few random people were walking up and down the street. But no loiterers. That makes me feel better about my choice of home. Overall the neighborhood is really cool. There is a sizable immigrant community here. Especially in my corner of Bay Ridge. I’m currently at an coffee place which shall be un-named for the moment. Since, I need internet access, and this place has it. I also needed coffee, and I don’t know a place to get recent roasts yet. But all in due time.
It’s nice to have a place all to oneself. No more roommates making messes that I have to clean up. (Or Vice Versa) . Every mess is my mess. Sweet.
I need to tell the super about the couple of problems I’ve found in the apartment. One, the glass is cracked in one of my bedroom windows. Two, there’s a faint smell of natural gas around my cabinet. I think it’s natural gas, but it may just be something else, since the gas is supposed to be turned off until the 22nd when the gas co. comes out to turn it on.
Anyway, I’m going to have to get some lunch now, and take a walk and explore more of my neighborhood.
Also, I just want to thank all of my wonderful friends who helped me move in on Saturday as well as those who weren’t able to help out so much.

PS Expect a house warming party in July or August, as well as a 4th of July Party, or something like that.
PPS Pictures of the place coming soon.
