Where I'm Blogging From

I cleaned the place up a bit this weekend, so now I can have guests over. Come on in. It's only small but it's big enough for my humble needs.

The room is square, plus a hall and bathroom. Behind me is the kitchen area. I sleep in the corner, like a damn dirty dog. I finally got my Alex Ross up on the wall. My plant can't decide whether to live or die, no matter how much water and/or sun I give it. It's been this way for months now. I like it here because it's $550 a month including utilities, and the space is all mine. (By the way, if you see anything you like then take note: if I have to leave in a month's time then everything will need a new home quickly. Much can be given away or loaned indefinitely...)

Yes, my CDs and DVDs are alphabetized. I stopped caring once and couldn't find what I was looking for - never again! Brad will tell you the last time I moved we taped up the shelves and carried them as they were rather than packing my CDs in boxes. I couldn't face sorting them again and it was only a three-block move.

I used to live here (the pin should actually be one block west, on the U-shaped apartments) and now I live here on the north-west corner of the n-shaped building, above the m-shaped building. When I worked, it was here. Hence the phrases "is he on campus?" and "that's off the map". Zoom out on the Google maps to answer the most-asked question from my friends overseas: where exactly is this Norfolk of which you speak?

The apartment complex looks eerie at the back at night. It used to be a hotel (pictured above). I think my room was a store room.
