It's just a shimmy and a shake you know we can't fake

Victory is mine!
About an hour ago, I signed the lease on the apartment I mentioned in my last post. It is teh awesome. Two bedrooms, two living/whatever rooms, bathroom, kitchen, washer/dryer, some furnishings. A fifteen-minute walk from my department. $600 a month. I win. It will be expensive the first year, but, with any luck, I can find a roommate once I know some people. Meanwhile, I have my own space. Oh, and the stove thing? Turns out that, according to the state of New York, the landlord is officially running a boarding house. Boarding house = he can't put a stove in the apartment. If I choose, as a tenant, to put a stove in the apartment, he "knows nothing about it." SQUEEEEEEEEEE!

Also, my landlord's name is "Dr. Funk." Really!

I've had great luck finding roommates on campus listservs and Craigslist. Also, check with Cornell's housing office -- the UW has an off-campus housing office that allows students to post for roommates. You should find somebody suitable in no time. I held a lot of roommate auditions before finding a couple who would work. :)

Viva Dr. Funk!

I must say, I thought the results for an image search on "dr funk" were going to be much more entertaining than they actually were. Still, you can't beat these guys:
