Sep. 1st, 2011 09:26 pminternet, i have moved! on one hand, the packing and coordinating stages made me stressed and miserable, but the new place is super cute and i am super pleased with it. the actual physical moving didn't even suck that badly, once my brother and i got the hang of it! we were moving via SUV, and were not particularly aggressive about stuffing it to the brim or using the roof rack, so we made LOTS of trips and had plenty of chances to get it down to a science. (it's about a mile and a half between the two places, and we had parking on both ends, so it wasn't that bad to keep driving back and forth.) and we got the rental returned with about 90 seconds to spare, which i was rather proud of.
we had no major mishaps, accidents, or parking tickets, although we did break my bookshelf in half. (it's more or less back together now.) the bookshelf's one of those Target flatpack ones, assembled inexpertly by yours truly, and we were taking it off the roof of the SUV. i had one end, my brother had the other, we moved slightly wrong, and suddenly i was holding one half and he was holding the other, and they were no longer connected. and we proceeded to laugh hysterically while standing in the middle of the street.
my new place is kept up! and clean! and managed by professionals! and ALL MINE. (i'd post pics, but everything that i own that is not large furniture or food is in a wildly disorganized heap of bags, boxes, and rubbermaid containers in the living room. every moment that passes, the chance of me bothering to do anything besides unpack my shower stuff, clean clothes for tomorrow, and my sheets continues to drop. and, frankly, the sheets might get skipped for now. the sheets are for the mattress on the floor, btw. not on the bedframe.)
one of the great things about my new place is its gigantic kitchen. so many of the places that i looked at had, like, a corner of the living room, or a wide place in the hallway that they were calling 'kitchen,' but i like a big comfortable kitchen. the downside is that is Ye Olde Somerville Kitchen, which has a number of distinctive features. like non-existent counter space.
( so, help me re-arrange it until it makes sense? )
