I’m happy to report that my first guests, Snooker and Sweet No, liked my apartment, and how it is decorated, as well as coming up with plausible explanations for why there are damaged areas on my floors plus the odd bathroom/kitchen configuration.
Their impending visit was just the kick in the pants I needed to […]
You’re invited to join me in the bedroom.
Above my bed is my Tom Coverdale framed set: an autographed photo of the man in action and a piece of Assembly Hall floor, signed by the man.
None of my rooms are completely dominated by Ikea, but if […]
I’m happy to report that things are falling into place in the apartment.
It’s making that magic transformation from a generic abode into something more home-like.
Eat faggots.
Today I mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors and started to put things in my living room into what should be their final resting spots. My […]
I’m happy to report that I had a really successful Saturday with the Handyman.
And I know you want to see pictures of my apartment but it is still a bit of a pigsty and I’m not willing to show it to you yet. Before I show it to you I want to remove all […]

Hallway
The hallway is quite dark at night.
Living room
Too bad I don't want the light hanging below this point.
Pictures of the apartment will come along in a week or so, once I have washed and put away all my dishes, removed empty boxes […]
It is with much sadness that I say good-bye, auf wiedersehen, and Kiitos to my friend, confidant, and partner in times of need.
You’ve served a good life, residing in the attic apartment, a noble servant to the many residents of this fine space. I am but the last in a long line of […]
2 Rooms, Attic Apartment
Behind my couches there is a nook—not really tall enough to stand in—which on my floor plan is labeled “Arbieten”—“work”.
I don’t actually have a desk—so I thought I would use the space as a place to read books (I have a bean bag chair), and a place for […]
When I first moved into my own apartment I wanted a glass dining room table – However it was too expensive for my budget and I ended up with a cheaper than crap flat-pack dining room table that I had to assemble on my own.
That table is long gone—and as I think about […]
Yesterday I forgot to include one of the more fascinating aspects of my building’s stairwell: the art in the stairwell. Or maybe it’s not. It started out in front of one of the apartments on what would be, roughly speaking, the 3rd floor. It sat there for at least six months (honestly I can’t […]
Whenever I leave my apartment for the real world, this is what I get to see (presuming it’s light out):
View when I shut my apartment door
Detail for the top most window.
And the next window.
