this being apartment hunting.
i'm seeking an apartment that's not in the basement ... this one worked out for my first year here, and frankly i felt lucky to get it at all last september. yet, strange as it sounds, i like the rain and would like to be able to see it fall outside my windows. natural light is good for the soul; by that standard, i live in a dungeon.
it's not the best time to be in the market for a 1-bedroom apartment in portland. an apartment gets listed on craigslist and within an hour, the landlord's received 10 inquiries - and most seem to operate on a first-to-inquire, first-considered approach. alas. i've called or sent emails on a few dozen properties, toured a few, and even fallen in love with one, but nothing's panned out yet. so, i hit refresh on the craigslist screen again.
i'm not pressed for time - my lease isn't technically up until mid-Nov. but i'm eager to get to higher ground. so, if you're the finger-crossing type, maybe cross 'em for me?
So the place you and I peeked at after Beulahland is a no go then?

looks like it's not ... i haven't heard anything back from the owner. that was the one i'd fallen in love with, too.
