I know, I know... I've been here for days now, and haven't posted more than a paragraph, I'm sorry... and I will attempt now to do some catching up. Where to begin: We've been out all day long (again). We starting this morning by helping Amanda's, Uncle Thurman, and Tricia [his wife] clean out their Hagen-Dazs shop out in Santa Monica. They donated all the left over tubs of ice cream (fourteen plus in total) to a homeless shelter. Then Amanda and I dropped by [unannounced] Sarah G.'s apartment... but she wasn't around... great neighborhood though ("...right near the beach, boey!").

Then we [Amanda and I] started calling every apartment we could find, setting up visits and asking all kinds of questions. But, aparently not too many landlords stop by the office on a Saturday evening. So we only got to check out one place, but, that one place was very promising: Roomy enough, nice neighborhood, close enough to downtown Hollywood, and best of all - in our price rang.

Actually: you know what, people... I lied - this is going to be a terrible attempt at "catching up", because they are out there cooking diner and it's calling my name. So, as for the rest of the story, you'll have to wait :)
