I can't believe we will be in the new place next week. Still hasn't hit me yet.
Hey me.
I leave this town in 7 days approximately.
It's a weird feeling, but I know I'll enjoy the post-move time. It'll be nice to have my own place with a good friend of mine and have somewhere my girlfriend can stay with me
I need to do more decorating today but I appear to have woken up with no arms. Where did my arms go??
Sounds like you need one of these:
And while I'm at it, are you scrubbing the walls and ceilings with sugar soap by hand? It's much easier to get a rectangle bucket full of sugar soap suds and a soft-bristled indoor broom, and use it like a giant brush. You're going to put down drop cloths for the painting anyway, why not take advantage of them?

Tangentially, I was in the neighborhood yesterday so I drove by the place - first time I've looked at it in person. Not only did it start pouring rain as I got near, but there was a big pile of trash on the corner opposite. Nowhere else nearby did I see such a thing: Just a big ol' pile of trash, no trashcans in sight.
Hoping it was just a weird one-time thing and not a regular occurrence.

This is fantastic advice. Two days late. Oh well I'll keep it in mind for next time.
Also I've decided not to bother with the doors. The extra expense and effort probably isn't worth it for the time I'm going to be here. I mean, they're only doors. Just going to do walls and ceilings and shampoo the carpets.
Started painting walls today. They are... pretty yellow.

I thought you were having trouble sanding due to your tiny dinosaur arms.
So, bring out yer dead, and yer tips. The previous tenant must have been a smoker, seems to be seeping out of the carpet. I have laid down the law with febreeze, set up a couple bowls of vinegar, and have asked the office if I can throw the ozone/air purifier back in here, so long as I don't run it while I'm IN here. We will see if they go for that. What ELSE should I be doing?

Seriously, tobacco stink gets everywhere. Vacuum out your windowsills, clean your windows, wipe the inside surfaces of your kitchen cupboards/pantry. That shit is invasive...
Since I'm a hideous man-child I recently purchased a copy of Basil The Great Mouse Detective.
My memory is that this is literally the best moviefilm ever produced...so I'm slightly scared to watch it because the possibility that I could be wrong has occurred to me.
Watch it. The Rube Goldberg contraption and the Big Ben scenes are some of my favorite things ever, and as I do not have a copy myself, I need to live vicariously through you.

Did it come with mini blinds, because blinds hold tobacco like nothing else and it gets all sticky and won't come off unless you soak it in hot soapy water, from experience

For the first time since losing all my money in New York and having to relocate to my childhood home, I've moved out of my house and into an apartment with two of my buds. Rent there is cheaper than it was at my childhood home (I was paying $500 a month to my landlord/mother to live in a converted basement).
The place we're renting is a converted stove factory that now houses loft apartments and regular apartments; we're in a two bedroom that's doubling as a three bedroom (we checked to make sure this was okay with the leasing agent) that has a spare den with a door, which is my room. There's no closet, but I used the 'disadvantage' of having a bedroom with no windows into getting a private bathroom.
There's free internet, a gym in the building, in unit washer/dryer, a community room that has a pool table, DirecTV, ping pong, and there's also a second floor outdoor pool.
The commute to work is ten minutes longer, but uh, suffice it to say, living in the city with other people closer to my age and with my usual city activities (bar hopping! karaoke! working out!) being within walking distance is a huge plus.
I am pleased.

In moving news, I need to start calling companies and telling them I'm moving. I've done the phone and Internet but I should probably chase up everything else in case they have some kind of notice period.

It's actually a kind of mottled pattern.
This pic also demonstrates the lovely smoke staining on it and every other fucking surface in this place. I am hoping a carpet cleaner will get rid of some of that at least.

God knows if it's supposed to look like that.

Why did they add this dumb song to the movie version of Les Mis
It doesn't even fit in with the rest of the damn musical

Oh god, that cat is my spirit animal at this moment
The purge is about to begin
It sucked
Honestly, I might never unpack
I now have a house (that I can enter if I give the current tenants more than 24 hours notice)

Quickly retrieve them from your safe

I borrowed them. Only need them for a day, maybe three.
A week at the most, ok?

*that was supposed to be 'almost', but ipad autocorrect achieved such baffling and poetic beauty I had to leave it in.

Where the longer a place is vacant the more bizarre and totally abhorrent the style choices inside become
So you start with a nice loft with stainless steel appliances but leave it empty for a year and it slowly becomes more hideous
Wood paneling starts to grow from the floorboards up
The cafe curtains transform into vinyl blinds
