Hurley's World

So last night Fred and I signed the lease for a nice two bedroom apartment in Newton. I, for one, am really looking forward to moving although it will mean a ton of work over the next month. The biggest plus is that it is much closer to my job and my commute will be about half an hour or so. Of course, it increases Fred's commute by a pretty heft percentage (we currently live less than a mile from his job), but it would have been a hard thing to avoid. I'm just glad we were able to find a heated two bedroom in our price range.

Leases are often a pretty funny read. One of the parts of the lease concerned how we were not allowed to hang anything from the walls or doors but we were allowed to arrange our furniture however we wish. Another page of instructions/addendum said that we weren't allowed to smoke anywhere on the property but could smoke in our apartment (we don't smoke, but we have some friends and family who do).

After the lease signing, we headed over to the MFA to view the Ralph Lauren car exhibit. Overall it was pretty cool, although it was funny to see the number of guys who were really into it and the number of girlfriends/wives who looked pretty bored.
