Watching Utena with my wife is a hoot, they’ve been very perceptive on certain beats like Miki is an asshole and Touga and Anthy are killing bugs, not Nanami, but they’re also on the “Anthy is adorable and innocent” train so I can’t wait to get into stuff they’re not catching ahead of time.

Congrats! No more in-laws! When can you move?
We move in January 2nd, which is the same day I start my job, but the holidays means nothing can really get done before then. We’re actually gonna come back for the bulk of our stuff the following weekend. It’s gonna be pretty hectic, but at the end it’s gonna be SO GOOD.
WE GOT THE APARTMENT
The other fun thing about today’s apartment viewing is that even tho I introduced my wife as my wife, the realtor still asked which of us would be living in the apartment
After seeing a final place that was honestly a nightmare, we put in our application for the place we liked and then ran to the bus station and got our tickets bumped up so we’re getting in at 10:30 instead of 3 in the morning
Okay so a) this is beautiful sushi for two b) it cost under $40, which is still a lot but sushi for two at a decent NYC place runs $60-70 and gives way less (both less sushi and doesn’t come with soup and salad)
And anyway this is close to where I’m going to work and not far from the apartment we like, I think we just found our date night go-to.
Harumichi looking for their first apartment: a very fraught process, Haruka’s delicate feelings re:cost battle against her desire to fill Michiru’s every need, after a few tearful discussions they end up in something modest but modern and Michiru has the grace to let Haruka put in a decently fair share of the rent every month
Reinako looking for their first apartment: possibly an actual battle, Rei wants the cheapest place but also has impossible standards, Mina keeps suggesting artist housing as she is a yet-to-be-discovered actress/singer/model/general star but Rei refuses to live in a building full of theater kids, they end up spending their first year in a cramped, dirty studio because they can’t agree on anything but neither is willing to back down from their decision to live together
Seiusa looking for their first apartment: Seiya dreads it, prepares to spend everything she’s ever made to get Usagi a good enough place, but then Usagi falls in love with the first tiny one bedroom they see because “we could hang lace curtains and make cookies here!”

We still have apartments to see but unless there’s something mind blowing in Monday’s batch, I think we found our place! Now I’m getting ahead of myself and looking at gym memberships (they’re so cheap here) and fantasizing about a now very possible life where I spend half of my mornings writing and half going to the gym
tfw you hated a prof in college and you go to see your wife graduate from a different college and that prof is there and sits right next to your wife’s family
