    i’ve been working hard at something? that doesn’t sound right.

  2. daniel Says:

    doesn’t sound right, but sounded good.

  3. anthony Says:

    hm

  4. casey Says:

    cute

  5. anthony Says:

    sup guys

  6. daniel Says:

    soup is becoming the social playground of our generation

    sup dudes

  7. casey Says:

    you know your office is cold when you get room temperature water and it feels warm in your hand

  8. anthony Says:

    then you fall asleep and ULTIMATE PRANK

  9. casey Says:

    what if that already happened?

  10. anthony Says:

    you mean, what if the ULTIMATE PRANK already happened?

  11. casey Says:

    except it wasn’t a prank, actually I had a dream it happened last night-very real

  12. anthony Says:

    scary

  13. casey Says:

    more embarrassing than anything, I’m just glad it was only a dream

  14. daniel Says:

    that’s funny, i usually just dream about peeing myself cause someone dipped my hand in warm water. they’re just day dreams, but what else does a man have but his day dreams? aaah, to be young again.

  15. daniel Says:

    or at least be a man…

  16. casey Says:

    what’s up guys, remember this is my form of AIM- so don’t leave me hanging (ANTHONY)

  17. casey Says:

    BTW I made the bus (and discovered that running in heels is easier than running in loafers-who would have guessed)

  18. anthony Says:

    guys i think my foot’s broken

  19. casey Says:

    does it still hurt?

  20. casey Says:

    LOL you have insurance! get it checked-prob just a sprain though

  21. anthony Says:

    not for 2 1/2 more months

  22. casey Says:

    that’s ridiculous, in other news, did you see that article about the dog with two noses?

  23. anthony Says:

    link pls

  24. casey Says:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6940289.stm

  25. anthony Says:

    that’s a bunch of noses. super. superdog.

  26. casey Says:

    I know. It rocks, and I actually think it’s appealing in a dying old man or ugly baby way

  27. anthony Says:

    i could care less about ugly babies, to be honest. i think we got that place fyi unless things go horribly wrong. HOORAY TO… staying in la?

  28. casey Says:

    hooray to having a place to live!

  29. casey Says:

    – that’s all I can cheer about as I found out last night my mother has applied on my behalf to about half the companies in LA with the worst cover letter I’ve ever seen. (I sound like an idiot). I thought people learned the concept of NO at two. Why oh why did I ever give my father my resume? His friends don’t have enough clout to really help me. How did I not predict this would happen?

  30. anthony Says:

    look at the job market as half NOT RUINED

  31. anthony Says:

    also, can your mom do the same for daniel?

    (not joking)

  32. casey Says:

    LOL you get me the resume and I’ll get her to do it but this stays between us (aka delete these comments NOW)

  33. casey Says:

    that’s a nice way to look at it, I saw the other 1/2 as the stuff I wasn’t qualified for, so I’m ruined outright, unless I want to be a typist for the correctional department of la

  34. anthony Says:

    i applied for a city typist job, but the process was going to take too long. and here i am.

  35. casey Says:

    actually I just looked and I’m under qualified, I cannot take dictation at 100 wpm, how many matronly typists are out there? (I’m assuming they’re the only ones that still have this ability)

  36. anthony Says:

    want a receptionist job doing something for some lakeside medical group place?

  37. anthony Says:

    (applies to daniel as well)

  38. casey Says:

    GOD YES HOOK ME UP

  39. casey Says:

    would we work together (same office? )
    cause that would be awesome (I wouldn’t need a car, and I’d pay half your gas!!!!)

  40. anthony Says:

    no idea. let me check. this is corporate. i think that job might be for a place that actually does medicine.

  41. casey Says:

    eh, that works I guess, off to the bus, tty in about 1.5 hr.

  42. anthony Says:

    i wonder what daniel’s doing right now. probably having all kinds of fun…

  43. anthony Says:

    yep. probably having the time of his life right now.

  44. casey Says:

    same thing today I bet—-slept in this morning while I tiptoed around with the lights off trying not to disturb his peaceful slumber—tell him to be up and cooking me breakfast from now on

  45. anthony Says:

    dude’s GOT to get up and make breakfast

  46. casey Says:

    it’s my last week… this is very hard…
    especially when I consider the fact that as soon as I get to LA I’m going to have to interview and express my desire to do the same thing, and for longer hours
    How’s life down there? –still beach weather? (my first order of action after we’re moved in, in three weeks!)

  47. daniel Says:

    i’m down for the beach. and yeah, anthony, get those tickets.

    also, i’m busy… this shark movie isn’t going to watch itself, although it feels like it just wrote itself.

    ps, it’s in german, but they’ve done me the favor of translating it terribly and pronouncing megalodon wrong… but they keep showing me the sharks so…

  48. casey Says:

    tickets? what tickets?

  49. anthony Says:

    it’s hot as fuck here

  50. anthony Says:

    daniel, when i im you, im me back. i can get them when i’m not online. it’s weird and confusing when you respond here. duh.

  51. anthony Says:

    fyi that receptionist job was just temporary, and all the jobs they posted on the board were expired.

  52. anthony Says:

    i’ll let you know when there are new jobs posted, but everyone here thinks i’m a terrible person who is bad, really bad, at his job, so i don’t think they’d hire you because of my referral.

  53. anthony Says:

    oh cool now there are TWO PLACES for me to talk to myself.

  54. casey Says:

    yeah yeah yeah, I was on an intercity BUS while you were sitting in your cushy office
    btw, I deem Sunday the 2nd beach day, you guys can all work on unpacking or whatever, but I’m hitting the waves!

  55. anthony Says:

    i’ll have to see what the surf is like that day.

  56. casey Says:

    I’m buying a bodysuit and a bogey board!

  57. casey Says:

    thanks for checking into the job btw, but it seems like there’s openings enough for me, some actually sound interesting like assisting in the set up of the Beverly hills famer’s market for 17/hr, but I’d rather just cry on the floor of a restaurant

  58. casey Says:

    and then go jump off a bridge

  59. anthony Says:

    where your body will wash up on a nude beach, 75% male. gawking, even in death.

  60. anthony Says:

    get daniel that farmer(’s market) job. it’ll be just like the end of that movie office space, and my life will be like the beginning.

  61. casey Says:

    why would I give him that job? I want it.

  62. casey Says:

    that’s completely illogical….

  63. casey Says:

    and I wouldn’t gawk, I’d laugh

  64. anthony Says:

    they’re only looking for one person to build that farmer’s market?

  65. casey Says:

    one assistant

  66. anthony Says:

    are there any open positions for supervisor? any head of the entire project positions?

  67. anthony Says:

    also: my foot still feels broken– any thoughts on this? please note that i have not been keeping off it.

  68. anthony Says:

    maybe we should just try to grow our own something and sell it.

  69. casey Says:

    nah, nothing-how hard is it to do this? privilege rich women do it all the time, except they give the food out for free and call it a gala.
    and where does your foot hurt and what have you been doing to it?

  70. anthony Says:

    looks like it’s either the cuboid bone or the extensor digitorum brevis muscle or a ligament or tendon or something. MAYBE the tuberosity of the 5th metatarsal bone

  71. casey Says:

    and we should definitely do that, herbs take time and care, but little start up money and they cost a bunch

  72. anthony Says:

    and yeah we can throw a gala whenever. how about the friday after we move in? don’t even unpack because it’ll all just get stolen.

  73. casey Says:

    lol not what I was refering to, I want to step up my own stand at the FM, but yes, we should also throw a gala, patronizing, say young musicians? We can dress daniel up in dirty clothes and call him a charity case! And we don’t need our stuff, we can get better stuff from craig’s list for free. I know this. I scout every day.
    if it’s hurting around your ankle on the outside (but thank you so much for the fun anatomy lesson) I’d suggest beefing up the muscles in your calves- they taught me this in physical therapy, keep your heel and your foot flexed, now move your toes outward, is this hurts, you need to be amputated. if not you have weak ankles and this will help.

  74. anthony Says:

    i like patronizing, and i’m pretty sure i broke that bone that sticks out of the side of your foot because i was wearing sandals.

  75. casey Says:

    your ankle?

  76. casey Says:

    dude, you really probably just pulled the tendon right behind it, and the rest of your foot is overcompensating. get a brace, wear it until you feel better and do the exercises to make up in the meantime

  77. anthony Says:

    my ankle’s fine, and braces/bandages hurt. i’m just not going to worry about it, and it’ll go away.

  78. casey Says:

    despite the fact that every time I’ve said that I’ve wound up in the hospital I’m going to agree

  79. casey Says:

    do you ever put your hand on the scanner to warm your fingers? I do it with the copy machine, it’s the absolute measure of what my life has become

  80. anthony Says:

    the scanner here is cold and lifeless.

  81. anthony Says:

    it’s also more like a printer than a huge, comforting office copy machine.

  82. casey Says:

    I should name the copy machine, what do you think? Speedy? Replica?
    and please tell me that reference to tickets has something to do with all you boys going somewhere and leaving me alone for a few hours

  83. anthony Says:

    talk to daniel about that

  84. anthony Says:

    also, we got that place. now all i need is $3,035 from all you guys by next week.

  85. anthony Says:

    i call my copier sharp ar-651

  86. casey Says:

    each? and I bet you call it the copier

  87. anthony Says:

    the copy machine, yeah.

  88. anthony Says:

    and it’s a total of $3,335 between the four of us.

  89. anthony Says:

    just cut me two checks with what you guys decide your portions should be

  90. anthony Says:

    ASAP cause i need to give her a cashier’s check next week

  91. casey Says:

    2200 rent so 1135 deposit?

  92. casey Says:

    and what do you think they should be?

  93. anthony Says:

    $35 for a remote

  94. anthony Says:

    technically $3,425 with remote and application fees

  95. anthony Says:

    why won’t wordpress let me repeat comments? talk to daniel about that

  96. anthony Says:

    you + daniel = 1557 (623+934)
    me + johnny = 1868 (934 x 2)

  97. anthony Says:

    $1,000/month
    $1,200/month

  98. anthony Says:

    we can discuss this here or, like, not

  99. anthony Says:

    boy is that katie lady chatty.

  100. casey Says:

    alright, so here’s my breakdown. obv all equal shares on the security deposity, ap fees and remote, so 1225/4 - 306.25.

    as for the rent, I know I said we’d pay equal shares, but that was when it was just us three and I didn’t want you to pay HALF the rent compared to our QUARTER each. since we’re adding a new person, that evens things out to me, but not entirely so I was thinking that daniel and I would pay half way between one quarter and one third of the rent together.

    divided by 4 the rent is 550 each
    divided by 3 it is 733.33334ever (haha)

    That comes out to exactly 458.33334ever but I like rounder numbers so 475 each. That leaves 625 a piece for you and Johnny, but if I’m making your head explode in anger tell me. I did make that promise, and if you think these circumstances don’t change that then tell me, and I’ll suck it up.

  101. casey Says:

    so yeah, my comment took me awhile.

  102. anthony Says:

    so 950/month instead of 1,000?

  103. casey Says:

    yeah, and I was going to say 900, but hey, I like you

  104. anthony Says:

    i refuse to pay anything over 650, since i could have my own place with my own everything for 775

  105. anthony Says:

    625×3 =1875
    2200-1875 = 325

    that’s fair

  106. casey Says:

    well if you are going to extort me I won’t allow anything less than the highest amount possible. let’s do equal shares so I can pay what you do for an apartment where I don’t have a single corner I can retreat to that is completely my own.

  107. anthony Says:

    guys, rent’s on me

  108. casey Says:

    honestly I would rather do whatever than have bad blood. so just whatever, and that last equation makes NO sense to me, unless you and daniel are brokering a he’ll pay more deal on the side, which I will talk to him about

  109. anthony Says:

    total to move in:
    781 = you, daniel
    931.50 = me, johnny

    monthly, thereafter:
    425 = you, daniel
    625 = me, johnny

  110. anthony Says:

    any objections, anyone? honestly, $100 or so/month either way isn’t really going to mean anything.

  111. casey Says:

    are you ok with this?

  112. anthony Says:

    this means: for a room, you and daniel are paying 850, and johnny and i are paying 625 for ours.

  113. casey Says:

    I think we keep posting at exactly the same time, are you getting any work done? I’m not.

  114. anthony Says:

    yeah, i’m just enjoying killing time by doing the math

  115. anthony Says:

    oops

  116. anthony Says:

    650 and 900, i mean– 450 each for you guys

  117. casey Says:

    you must mean 475, so 950 versus 625.

  118. casey Says:

    cause that was my original proposal

  119. anthony Says:

    to be fair, this place was too expensive

  120. casey Says:

    and you don’t argue the other way

  121. casey Says:

    you just don’t.

  122. anthony Says:

    DEAL

  123. anthony Says:

    fuck, this place was expensive

  124. casey Says:

    yeah, I kinda thought the woman’s name was ethel and we were talking about the ostega or whatever place- I hadn’t seen this one at all til we pretty much got it

  125. anthony Says:

    let me start ove

  126. casey Says:

    are you looking at craig’s list? I have been.

  127. anthony Says:

    it’s sorta a done deal. i’m out $300 if we bail.

  128. anthony Says:

    $390.

  129. anthony Says:

    and i hate craigslist. too many people use it.

  130. anthony Says:

    although, that katie lady gave me the impression that a lot of people who apply have terrible credit.

  131. casey Says:

    that is probably true
    it’s happens easily

  132. anthony Says:

    why all this? have you found any really good places?
