So Chris and I are moving into a new apartment at the beginning of December. This of course has a number of implications: for one, those of you who have contact information for me should contact me (get it) to find out my new number and address.

It also means that we’re taking this opportunity to sell off a bunch of our stuff and buy new stuff to replace it. If you live in New York and are in the market for a (fully functional) PS2, original bondi iMac, futon/couch (with or without mattress), 19″ TV/VCR with FM tuner, or possibly a full-sized IKEA bed frame (with or without mattress), please do let me know. There’s also a microwave and two air conditioners that I’ll have to find specs for. Keep in mind that you’d be responsible for getting this stuff from our place to yours. The bed isn’t a sure thing yet - if I can find somewhere to store it I may hang onto it.

Where are we moving, and why? Well, we’re moving from way uptown Manhattan to Roosevelt Island (which itself is part of the borough of Manhattan). Whenever we tell someone we’re moving to Roosevelt Island, they usually say “Where is that?” or “That’s so cool, I don’t know anyone else who lives there.” I’m not sure why more people don’t know more about it - it’s a little more money than we’re paying now, but we’re getting a 2br with a balcony and a living room with enormous windows overlooking Manhattan. We’ll also be getting a doorman, plus use of a gym, pool, tennis court, and parking garage. And while the 59th St Tramway is cool, it isn’t the only way to get onto the island (which is in the East river). The F stops there, and it’s accessible by car as well.

So let me know if you want to buy any of the stuff I mentioned above. I’m not really interested in trading, by the way, but if you have a spectacular offer I’d probably consider it.
