A New Apartment, Internet, a Hotplate

So apparently when my first landlady told me I could stay until November, she really meant that I could stay until...October. Last Wednesday she informed me that I was expected to be moved out on Saturday. Moving in this short a period of time is not a huge problem; I happen to like moving, and I find I do it frequently. Usually, however, I like to have, you know, some place to move into, before packing up and leaving. This not being the case of course, here in Zwonitz, where there are no apartments, and even if there were, they would not be furnished (and here, unfurnished means no sinks, no toilets, no kitchen). Luckily, the secretary at my school who had initially withdrawn her offer to take me as a tenant in the apartment above her house, invited me to move in after all. The apartment is nice, with a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen/dining room area. There's a small TV with cable so in addition to Home Improvement, I can now watch CNN international, which is in English. I never thought I'd be so happy to see Wolf Blitzer's face. The apartment also has a hotplate. It's not quite like a middle school science lab hot plate (at least as I remember them), but rather an electric stove that you plug into the wall. So now I can cook elaborate feasts for myself. Tomorrow, I'm going to buy a big sack of potatoes. It's going to be awesome. But yeah, the best part is, there is internet here, at least kind of. I have to sit right by the window, and it comes in and out, so things like gchat don't work too well, but it's better than nothing.
The Phillies are incredible.
I am putting Moby Dick on hold because it's extremely boring. Today I read, and will probably soon finish reading, The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. It's pretty damn awesome. It makes use of all the stylistic things I liked about All The Pretty Horses without all the western horse jargon that I could really care less about. Also, post-apocalyptic shit really gets me doing. Marauding hordes, starvation, vast expanses of darkness and ash. Hell yeah.
That's all for now, go Phils.
