dream apartment

Originally uploaded by _keviv.

So I’ve started apartment hunting. Having had the good fortune (or misfortune, depending on which side of the world you’re from) of having lived with family all my life, I finally have decided that I want my own private Idaho. Or my own private cramped-living-quarters, as it were.

My first apartment visit invovled typical keviv-drama: walking through the pouring rain to get to the place, a cute owner-chick who just happened to be a philosophy professor and a decent apartment at the edge of the park I had my first cricket practice in. Being an ardent fan of irony, I should’ve taken the place for its mere location, but I want something closer to the PATH (making those late-night returns from drunken parties less dangerous).

Hopefully I’ll find something within the next month; till then, I can always dream of the gorgeous New York lofts that I probably wont be able to afford till I’m 35 and thinking about good school districts for my kids anyways. The picture above is a new apartment that is being developed at the pinnacle of the 1915 ClockTower building.

For someone who is perpetually late for EVERYTHING, wouldn’t it be funny if I ended up miraculously living in a home surrounded by giant clock faces on all four sides?! Now THAT my friends, would be pure, unadulterated irony.
