It's good to be back in New York...

...but apartment hunting's a bitch.

Yesterday I saw a gobsmack beautiful apartment in Cobble Hill that was not so much within my budget, but the woman renting it was a trip.

Like, let me play you some of my own CDs I'm a musician here track two is better, and I designed the artwork on the cover.

Like she doesn't want cheese with rennet in the fridge because she keeps kosher and do you know what kosher means even though you're... Catholic? You're not Catholic? What are you?

Like, let me show you the hats I make for supplementary income. I wish I had bought one, in all seriousness, because I look good in hats and these were some adorable hats. Like, cloche-1920s style. Amazing.

I love this woman. In another life, I would be this woman.
