Night two in The Apartment

Air conditioners? Loud.

Cockroaches? Only seen one, and The Roommate crushed it dead and I disposed of it. Ah, division of labor.

Internet? Um, I'm getting some wireless signal - don't know where from or anything, but hopefully it's ok that I'm tagging on. The city says this area and many others will have free internet access by September 1 anyway.

Unpacking? Sucks. I really want to paint my bedroom, but needed to wait until I had light to see better - and now there's a piece of glass there (yeah, I'll get a real window soon) but I had to start unpacking simultaneously so there's crap everywhere. Sigh. I still don't know what color.

Building? I blew off Habitat today because they weren't expecting me, and I have plenty to do. Plus, I'm going over at 3:00 to help Jazz Leader.

Mimosas? Two dollar Sundays at Fiesta Bistro down the way, but their alcohol is all we're going back for - their food, not so great and overpriced.

Eating out? Expensive and time to cut it out, now that I have a place to live. Despite the disappointment of Fiesta Bistro yesterday, we did still manage to find a really cool cafe (in an old bank) and there was the joy of Waffle House. I'm a forward girl, I realized yesterday at WH. We sat down at the bar and I turned to the total stranger next to me and asked to look at the ads in her Sunday paper.

Milk? Way gross, thanks a lot to Tami's lectures. I'm an odd duck, drinking soy milk and eating turkey sausage.

Furniture? Well, we're mostly furnished now, thanks to a harrowing drive with The Couch yesterday from Tami's. Huge-ass thing, but it fit through the doorway here and didn't get rained on. I'm still proud of the table I scored, and look forward to dinner parties, though I need more chairs.

Today? Finish unpacking, feel like I'm situated, harangue landlord for evidence I live here so I can go get my driver's license, hook up printer and do some reading for my orientation next week, then go run some power tools (ar ar AR!) and try to appear helpful.
