Well, I found a really spiffy 2 bedroom apartment in lincoln park. A hop skip and a jump from friends, gym, etc. And it’s a great spot. Significantly pricier (to the tune of ($75 + 1/2 internets+heat+electricity) / month) even after I find a roomie. But the location is very nearly perfect, the price doesn’t make my wallet hurt just thinking about it, and I’d get to choose my own roommate (from the usual large, but non-infinite array). I think it’s worth it, but I’m still going to sleep on it.
Yay!
And with living in Lincoln Park, you have a much quicker commute to gaming.
