Hogwarts, Thanksgiving, and The Tale of The Apartment That Wasn't

Thanksgiving was, I'm pleased to report, very lovely. I had a nice time with my friends, I ate both mashed potatoes AND smothered cheese fries with bacon-y bits, and stuffed myself so completely that I'm still full 16 hours later. In short, a win all the way 'round.

And now, an amusing tale, about a girl in Japan, an apartment in New York City, and an apartment owner in London.

I hope you have enjoyed my tale; I've found it all fascinating, with its ups and downs, and have resolved quite firmly that all future househunting will be reserved for my return.
