Post-rant comedown

Sorry for all of you who had to endure my frustration yesterday; things have been getting progressively worse here (well, it seems they are everywhere, but it's just becoming obvious now at work) and it sucks to see your friends bear the brunt of it. The rest of the day went a bit better. We continued the Great Bridgeport Housing Search, something that in and of itself doesn't do anything to improve a foul mood, and actually saw a couple places we liked... to rent. That's right, we're looking to rent until something we love comes on the market which, in that area, might take a while. The leading contender for rental right now is the top half (two floors) of a duplex. Featured inside this lovely new construction on a quiet street is a set of French doors which, when opened, neatly frame the ballpark - perfect for fireworks days - and let in a great breeze; a massive back porch for all our grilling needs; a garage; built-in speakers throughout the first floor; tons of closet space; multiple spare rooms; and a master bedroom on the top floor that is sunny and roomy. I could quite honestly do without the spiral staircase to the top floor, but it looks cool at least. We submitted a credit application and hopefully will know something soon; there was another couple looking right after us, but I can assure you all (as if I had to) that we were quite obviously much cooler.

Other than that, Hell's Kitchen with Julie delivered as always; tonight we will carry on our festival of culture by hitting the Lyric Opera to see The Sleeping Beauty - a ballet by Tchaikovsky. Classy. I really wish I had a working lens for my camera because the interior of the Lyric is absolutely stunning; sometime I need to take the tour of the inside and take some shots.
