The Apartment is starting to feel a bit more like My Apartment. For one, I have the Internetz. They just got installed today. I've hung most of my wall stuff, but there's still too much white for my taste. If I had my way I'd have an extra $500 to drop on mirrors art and frames and stuff. Working on that. Meantime, I bought a couch and a ( Read more... )

So about a week ago, Taste Washington was going on here in Seattle, and it was going on right across from my hotel, which pretty much means it was going on at my hotel.

Goddamn. I feel like I'm missing out on so much some times. But then I realize that I had a pretty good excuse, most of the time. I've had two eleven-hour days at work, and they were both shit shows, last night was pretty bad in particular. Shit happens, I guess, but I'm glad to get the week off. Too bad it's dead week. But I'm making ( Read more... )

I. Want. THIS!

Somebody needs to be very nice to me on my birthday. Seriously, it would fit *perfectly* in the corner behind my dining table, next to my kitchen. Start saving.
