My Place

Since good ‘ol Albert posted some pics of his new place, I figured I should post some of mine. I can’t let some Philipino outdo me. And yes, Albert, that was racist. And yes, Albert, I misspelled Filipino on purpose. ;)

Before we get started, I wanted to give you a disclaimer. This little mini-tour will be great–grand, even. However, it’s nothing compared to real life. That tour would be LEGEN…wait for it…and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant, because the second half of that word is DAIRY! LEGENDAY! Bee Tee Dub, if you’re not watching How I Met Your Mother yet, do it. It’s ridonk with hilarity. (No, I don’t really talk like that… How I Met Your Mother references abound).

So anyway, when you take your first step into the place, you’ll see part of my kitchen and my living room. Now, question. When is a futon mattress on the floor next to the end table with the laptop in front of the TV a good thing? Only always!

Over to the right is where I make my Macaroni And Cheese With Cut-up Hotdogs In It. It’s so good, it deserves capitals. That’s just how it rolls.

Through the door past that is bedroom number one. Since I have no furniture, it’s basically just a big floor where I throw all my clothes. Okay? Awesome.


It’s actually got two closets, which is great. The closet on the left is where I keep all my regular shirts and stuff. The closet on the right, behind the door, is where I keep all my nice clothes. Nice shirts, nice pants, awesome suit, ties, etc. All that’s important is it’s where I go when I need to suit up.

Through the door there is the master bathroom. Which, of course, implies that I have two bathrooms. Very nice.

Standing in the kitchen and facing what would left in respect to the first picture, we see a closet and a hallway. Nothing too fancy there. Just your standard closet and hallway, which is actually rather disappointing. If I’d built the place, there’d totally be trap doors or something right around this area. Totally.

Going into the hallway and turning left, we come to the other bathroom. It’ll definitely be nice having a pair of bathrooms once I actually move into the bedroom, I would think.

From that bathroom, we see the washer and dryer. They might look ordinary. And, in fact, the dryer actually is ordinary. This ordinary-ness (or even ordinarity, perhaps) is all the more upsetting when I consider the washing machine. It’s basically dead silent when it’s running. I’d never heard of such a thing, but it exists–not unlike the illustrious loch ness “creature”, Nessie. (We’re trying to get away from the term “monster”; Nessie is a gentle creature, very much unlike Sasquatch, which I think we should all be on alert for). Continuing on…

If we had turned right in the hallway, we’d be in the second bedroom. As you can see from the picture, this is going to be my office. I guess it’ll be my guest room, too. But mainly my office, hehe.

Finally, I decided to snap a closer pic of my desk. Since it’s the only real piece of furniture I have, I figured it deserved its own picture. The red computer on the left is named thewaiter, because it’s my file server. Get it? It serves up all my files. Genious? I thought so too. Kyle will know what I’m referring to, anyway. Next up, the Black Beauty in the center is jMoney. Mostly because it’s money. On the far right, we have an old HP that I bought from Kyle for $50. It’s my web server, svn server, hg server, and proxy server. Its name is WOPR… Anyone? Takers? Oh, and the bright blue router on the floor is home to jNet. It’s a badass D-Link DIR-655. That means gigabit lan and 802.11n wireless.

Well, that about wraps it up. I realized after I started writing this post that I didn’t take closer picture of the living room or the balcony. Maybe I’ll do that later, but probably not. I believe that’s my laziness kicking in. Oh, how I both love and hate my laziness.

    so, really, this post is just riddled with How I Met Your Mother references…job well done :) , EVERYONE needs to start watching it. hehe, since i started writing this comment, your post got me in the mood to listen to some “voices” by cheap trick (good ol drunk ted). anyway, having seen your apartment first hand, i can say that i think it’s pretty nice, and it will be even better once you get some furniture in there ;) . now you’ll just have to see our amazing apartment we’ve got going on here at school. oh, and by the way, i really wish we had a washer like that here….well, i guess it’s not the washer that’s bad, but the dryer makes a deafening noise when we use it (other than that, it’s great!).
