And in other news...
I had mentioned it in passing a few weeks, but my landlord did indeed to sell the building. So... Long story short, I've been spending the past week packing up and cleaning my apartment. Most of my stuff will be going into storage, but I will be moving into a friend's place - he just booked a tour and needed a subletter , so...
And since two of my current apartment-mates were already moving out, and since it was proving very difficult to find new roommates, well...
It really seems that everything is falling into place, happening for a reason.
