My Dramatis Personae Update

Part of this sad business of graduating is that I can't refer to people by "neighbor" anymore once I move out. So I went through and did a few updates on the Dramatis Personae cast of characters to the right. If you want yours changed, or aren't up there and would like to be (or think I might have cause to refer to you), just say the word.

I'm also considering adding the following to it:
A badger with a troubled past and nothing left to lose
An elephant who never forgets...to kill!
And a seldom used crab named Lucky, a.k.a. Citizen Snips

My Leasing Agent

Chuck and I are moving in a couple weeks to a deluxe apartment in the sky (well, 8th floor). It's a swanky happening pad, but getting all the paperwork done is a bit of a hassle. It's not that much...it's just that we can't get any questions answered by the space cadet leasing agent at the building. The following conversation summarizes it nicely:

Chuck: I dropped off the forms, but couldn't talk to [Leasing Agent]. Apparently she was busy, as always.
Me: She was probably off managing the series of disasters that is undoubtedly her life.

On the plus side, our new apartment is awesome (it better be, given the huge fraction of my income consumed by it). Everyone better come visit me. If you need some incentive:
1) We're conveniently located (see me for details)
2) We're across the street from a bookstore
2a) The bookstore apparently sells Godiva cheesecake
3) Chuck just bought a Nintendo Wii (which is almost as awesome for me)
4) My new couch has built-in recliners
5) I clearly won't want to leave, so it might be the only way you get to see me
