An attempt to bring more color into the ole' apartamento ended up just turning green.

There's a half potted plant, and window boxes that are 3/4 of the way there.

I'm back to brainstorming but will keep you posted.

And on a side note, I bought 2 really random things today.

NYC Apartment- things I WILL miss

MY PIANO!! :( boo hoo


Best cappuccino in the whole word, a few doors down. Made by this cute old Italian woman, who's apartment is behind the store front. best espresso I have ever, ever tasted.



my backyard...

in winter...



and in the summer, even better..


Plus fire escapes on all sides, as far as the eye can see...




the experience of living alone...
with lots and lots of me time.

(i should also add to that, buying flowers for myself every month, chocked it up as part of my utility bills)--not sure if I will miss that, but now its Nate's job, yea!

Alas, it will be sad to go....
but not really.
CA HERE I COME!! WOO WOO!!
nathan nathan nathan !

nyc apartment- things i will not miss

its so cute and little.
i really grew attached.
but alas, the things i will not miss about my nyc apartment...

1. the back wall that leaks water when it rains (it has been "repaired" 4 times by the contractor)
[i think it might actually be fixed this time! we'll see]

2.the biggest cockroaches ever to live in nyc (although on hold for the minute with my extremely toxic fumigation that took place 2 months ago [i can still smell the fumes a bit when i come home] I have no doubt they will be back as soon as said fumes wear off, or I move out because said fumes are probably affixed to my personal belongings more than the walls and floor, ew)
btw, i was crossing 16th st and a cockroach was running by! i swear. it was huge.
I almost stepped on it, but good thing I saw it! Its like trying to step on a small mouse. but i just let that one run on by!!!!


3. bathroom sink the size of a popcorn bowl...

my drawing...


actual reproduction...


Ceci n'est pas un lavabo


4. windows being at ground level



5. Zero counter space...

[soon to come...things i WILL miss]
