Hay! Who wants to see our new apartment?
So we've moved in, and have, in fact, been moved in for a while, so I thought I'd take a few pictures to show off how everything fits together and give everyone a quick walkthrough of the apartment. Whaddyasay?
Here's the living room, first. The front door is on the right, there, and we got this cute little shelf on which we can throw our stuff when we first come in. That thing on the top is a *ribbon dispenser* that has a power strip inside. All the things that we need to charge up come out from the ribbon dispenser holes and that way we can charge everything in one place. We got the idea from the internet, somewhere.
There in the middle is the big tv. I'm happy with it. Hi-def is awesome. All the console and everything are all hooked up and all the wireless controllers are down in the basket beneath. The Ikea chair is there, even if it is hard to see underneath the *adorableness* of Tigger.
Next, looking the other way from the living room. We got a 'sofa table' and put a bunch of pictures on it, which is neat. You can see where the Rock Band drum set has taken up temporary residence next to the couch and back there is the dining and kitchen areas. That glass door leads off to the patio and our forest view, but I forgot to take a picture of it.
He's the desk/dining area. We mostly eat just wherever we feel like eating, so the table hasn't gotten much use, but the computer has, both because we do all of our Austin research from the computer, and because Jess has become addicted to watching The Office on NetFlix.
The kitchen definitely feels smaller than our previous one, but we do have that little pantry off to the left there, and the electric oven is a lot faster than I remember electric ovens being...could be because I grew up with a really, really old electric oven. Check out that window view, too! Nothing but trees back there.
Coming back, here's the bookshelf (we tossed away tons of books and still fill that thing to the brim) and the hallway to the bedrooms.
Here's our bedroom...looking pretty much the same now as it did back in El Segundo...
And the other bedroom, a little disorganized still because it isn't being used for anything. My computer died (well, really just the graphics card, I think) and I threw away my big corner desk in El Segundo, too. The drums are still there, but not much happens in here.
Especially now that I'm about to become a MAC USER! I just ordered myself a MacBook Pro. It's a combination of a few things, but mostly just that I like the idea of a Laptop, Macs have a lot of Audio software and hardware available to them, I didn't feel like jumping in with Vista, and I don't use my computer for gaming anymore. So that'll be here in a week or so. I seem to spend a lot more money when I'm unemployed than when I'm working. (Don't worry, I've got savings).
So, that's most of the apartment. There's a patio and a bathroom too, but I guess if you want to see them, you'll have to come out and visit. Of course, we'll hopefully get a house too, and then we'll have so much room you'll *have* to come and visit us.
So, from our new base in Austin, bye for now!
