I wish I was in Bristol.

no place like home

Momma B’s got a new place to live.
West end.
Surrounded by friends.
The main man is a bike ride away.
The lake’s close.
Cool restaurants are a jaunt away.
Close to the subway.
Whole floor to myself.
A shared porch and backyard.
Windows in every room.
Three closets.
Full kitchen.

A whole new world.

no carpets for me! just hardwood. hells ya.

heyyyy bill

Bryson, that is.
I like your style.

I’m pretty excited about picking up “A walk in the Woods” by Bill Bryson. It’s about an adventure through the Apalatian Trail.

Thanks boyfriend, for having awesome books on your shelf.

And while we’re at it, thanks for having the radio in the kitchen. Radio Two makes my mornings a wonderful entry in the Pleasure War.

dog park

i’m still giggling about it.

i’m a little self-righteous

one month of garbage strike, following two weeks of garbage waiting for the next pick up
that’s 6 weeks and we haven’t had to empty our garbage or recycle bins into any public dump sites.

Two people. Our bins are nearing the top, but nowhere near overflowing. Should I feel good about this, or should I feel bad that they’ve reached as high as they have?

I realize that this strike has encouraged me to buy things with less packaging, to drink water instead of juice and pop, and to try to use more of a vegetable so I wouldn’t have to throw it in the compost.

I’m hoping that this strike has changed the consumer/waste habits of at least a portion of the people that are affected by it. The mountains of disgusting waste that are at the temporary dump sites tell me otherwise, but I’d like to have hope.

loft

I’m seriously considering moving into a very cool loft.

There are no kitchen cupboards. There is no bathtub. There are no windows other than the sky light. There’s no outdoor space. It is kind of echoey. It would be a lot of work to make it look like my space. It would be completely different from how I live now.

It has tall ceilings and a sky light, and space above the bathroom or the closet for a bed. There are two other storage-like spaces up and away. Plants would trive in the crazy light. There is plenty of space for entertaining. It’s in the same building as a yoga studio. There is hardwood flooring. It’s a five-minute walk to the subway, and a ten minute walk from Roncesvalles. It would be a lot of fun to make it look like my space. It would be completely different from how I live now.

I think I just convinced myself.
