thinking about moving, can't really understand why I'm living in Wisconsin. I never meant to live here and here I am. Can't find a roomie, and winter is coming. Debating between Seattle and NY. Sussed out NY with MC and could probably make a go of it but it would be a lonely climb and the weather not all that much better. Seattle I've always wanted to live in, but have to figure out what I'd do. Maybe I could work for don king. but then everyone here is trying to keep me here, i don't know why!

so I'm dealing with this dilemma by playing hookey from work, getting some wine and having Jack Chiefton come over. Fuck it! The weekend starts now!

If you come to seattle, you could work for the company matt and I work for. Lots of creative types here...filmmakers musicians, etc. The money can be good if you don't mind asking people in movie theatres to give their opinions about movies. You wouldn't want to do it forever, but it'd be a good getting settled job. Of course if you moved to NY you could work for the NY office, so there's that. I'm sure Matt would hire you. If you decide on seattle, let me know, I can give you advice on where to live and stuff. Rent is a little cheaper now because there are lots of vacancies.

Hey, Tommy, that Brings up an idea...

Tracy and I are trying to move...mold problems in this apartment, making us sick, and won't be leaving seattle for at least 6 months or so. We had the thought that you should probably take your house off the market for a while, you know, until the spring or summer when people are looking to buy. We'd be glad to live there, take good care of it, and pay rent (probably not what it's worth, but more than you're getting now) in the mean time...just throwing it out there...

If that doesn't work out I know a few prostitutes who need a place to turn tricks... apparently they are sick of Aurora.

And your attic would make a great grow room. $250 an ounce its almost worth its weight in gold baby.

almost off-topic but i am getting new digs soon

Excellent idea Mav,

you could pimp the girls and take care of the plants as well.

When are you moving out of your house and when are you leaving seattle?

I think I'll leave the pimpin' to Slothy...but I can handle plants.

As for leaving my apartment, as soon as possible..most likely Jan. 15. As for leaving Seattle, that's up in the air, but around 6 months from now.

I was mostly serious about renting your place...unless you think it's a ridiculous idea, then I was kidding. Let me know if it's at all a possibility.

$300/month.

Wow I wish I could rent that space.

Then I could be drinking in Germany as opposed to drinking in Seattle.

Anybody out there wanna give me an advance on my next novel?

So Tommy, Is there any chance we could talk about my earlier suggestion? (not Sloth's)

I could call you or email to give you the pitch. Or you could tell me to just go ahead and rent the apartment down the street that we're considering.
