Looking for an Apartment on Craigslist is Like Taking Helen Keller Through an Obstacle Course

Well, my saga with my roommate/apartment hunting has been well documented, as every person reading this site agreed (perhaps for the first time!) that I was getting screwed when my landlord upped my rent.

So, I'm moving out.

Whoa....Lucali Coming To South Slope??

Please, Gawd, let this be true:

"Reliable sources report to Eater that Lucali, favorite of both Beyonce and Alan Richman and undeniably one of the top pizza places in New York, is expanding to the South Slope. Reps at Lucali won't confirm, but the insider tells us it's moving into an old medical supply storefront on 6th Ave. and 20th Street..."

Pass The Dutchie on the Left Hand Side

If you think that the teens of Park Slope are the only bitches sneaking into Prospect Park to toke up, think again. Introducing: Marijuana Mamas!

According to MomLogic.com:

A new wave of reefer madness is sweeping suburbia -- but it's not just teenagers who are lighting up. Middle-aged, middle-class soccer moms are smoking pot ... a lot. These women aren't stoners: they're teachers, lawyers, and, perhaps, even your neighbor who prefers puffing a joint to sipping chardonnay.

I don't know...I sort of don't believe it. Unless, of course you can get weed at the Food Coop [OMG, can you?????]

Again With the Park Slope YMCA Dads

Sometimes, the best shit on the interwebz is in the comments.

Case in point: a late eve tweet from @ParkSlopeGossip alerted me to the fact that there was some interesting commentary in the Daily Intel post about YMCA Daddy Gate Oh niners. In 140 characters or less, it was alluded to that some Park Slope BREEDERS (who shall remain nameless...unless, of course, you shelled out $25 dinero for a Park Slope Parents membership), were none too happy with all the chatter over on En Y Mag dot com.

Juicy!

Dads to Prospect Park YMCA: WTF ABOUT US, MOTHERFUCKERS!?

Eh, ok so not really.

Park Slope BREEDER dads had no need to get all uppity-n-shit with the YMCA ove their Mommy and Baby classes, and form committees and stage protests, cause they're just so darn fucking sensitive over there in the first place:

"The classes were originally called “Mommy and Baby.” Then men started showing up one by one, infants in tow. A few months ago, the fathers had become so numerous that the Prospect Park Y.M.C.A. on Ninth Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn, changed the class name to “Parent and Baby.”

How very PC of them [wonder if our good bud Blognigger will now feel comfortable enough to attend with all the other DILFs dads?].
