Susan has left from her short visit, and in her wake she has made the apartment much homier. This is partially due to her bringing more of my stuff over, so there is just more stuff, but also from her things being here, so it is starting to feel like our apartment instead of just my overly large apartment.
This has also lead to the inclusion of some of my old artwork from my art school days. Most of the things that I have made seem to be gravitating to the entertainment center and it's starting to get a little strange.
Susan was actually the one to put horns on the tv. She thinks it looks like something from
Where the Wild Things Are. I thought it looked like Tubey from
Television Without Pity.
I couldn't figure out where to put the tree sculpture, it's just very bulky and unless you put stuff on it, it will take up an entire table. Then I got the great idea to mount it on the wall, which then worked it's way to making it look like it was mounted on the ceiling. It seems to be working well, but it is starting to sag a bit. I think one more nail to hold it should work well. It casts some very interesting shadows and I think I'm going to try to optimize this with several light sources. I'll probably use candles for this to get flickering light and wavy shadows.
The curtains are working out great. Once Susan starts teaching lessons in the apartment I will just close them and hide by my computer. The TV is hooked up to the computer so I could always pull a Wizard of Oz with a green tinted closeup of my face. I'll be sure to not allow any little yappy dogs.
