The cost of housing in North Seattle ( near campus ) is insane,
I can't imagine what Manhattan is like. I wish you luck.

Landlords are nasty ( evicting on a whim ) because
they have privileges like that. Every landlord is also a tenant.

Now playing on the radio, “ Point Blank � by Bruce Springsteen

“ These days you don't wait on Romeos,
you wait on that welfare check,

and on all the pretty things that you can't ever have,
and on all the promises that always end up point blank,
shot between the eyes.

Point blank, like the little white lies you tell to ease the pain.

You're walkin' in the sights ( girl ) of point blank,
and it's one false move and ( baby ) the lights go out .�

“ Well I saw you last night down on the avenue.
Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you.
You were standin' in the doorway, out of the rain.

You didn't answer when I called out your name.
You just turned, and then you looked away,
like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away. �
