don't leave. |
I can never decide what to even talk about on this here Talblog but I guess the only big thing thats going on with me that I'd care to share on this here internet is that I'm moving. Moving into a 1 bedroom apartment by myself that is. Goodbye roommates, goodbye other peoples messes, goodbye other people whom I don't really know or care about shit'n in my bathroom, and most importantly goodbye construction (the building right next to mine currently was knocked down and i have had construction starting at 7am monday through sat. for that last 3-4 months and it's not gonna be stopping for another few years.) So now I have the daunting task of figuring out how to properly furnish my place, figuring out ALL the things I'm gonna need to do once I get there. PGE, Phone, etc. Nothing that I can't handle, just lots of stupid little things here and there which adds up to feeling stressed over little stuff. My mommy is coming out to visit me in a week when i move in because for some reason she miss's me and wants to help me out with my new place (i think she just miss's being motherly now that I'm such a big boy).
It's gonna be nice I can tell already, I really don't have that much stuff because for those of you who don't know me I pretty much just live in my bedroom and kitchen. My roommate is the one who spends most of his time in our living room. So basically everything in the living room now is his. The only thing I really gotta figure out is how to make my pink bathroom (yep, it came with a pink bathroom)....more manly. Black shower curtain with skulls or something is what I'm thinking. I dunno. I hope the place is as good as I remember it. I vaguely remember walking through the entire apt. when I checked it out. I just remember feeling like it was a lot better than some of the places I had been checking out and I was sick of looking at places all week long only to be dissappointed that the places were so crappy and were still ridicuilously overpriced. CURSE YOU CITY LIVING!!! Anyways, new chapter in the ol' brett book. Yay for me.
PS. It's retarded how hard it is to find a decent place to live in the city for a 'reasonable' price range.
PSS. I moved one block away from Loren and Kelly as well! Which is pretty cool if i do say so myself. Now we can get silly and drunk and play videogames and such and just walk home.

Posted by: loren at October 3, 2005 1:03 PMStuff brett needs:
1 - sofa (getting our old one)
2 - coffee table (getting our old one)
3 - Plasma screen t.v.
4 - sound system
5 - lamps so you don't need to use crappy overhead lighting
6 - rugs for the hardwood... its hardwood right? sick.
7 - shelves for all his toys.
That place is gonna be sweet. Skulls for the pink bathroom could be awesome. Or you could paint the walls green so people automatically puke when they walk into the pink and green room.
gonna get floating shelves i think for the toys maybe. also want that same super shelf unit you guys have in your computer room. the expidite or whatever it's called from ikea, me likes those for a super bookshelf unit (can also dub for toys at the top). need rugs, yes, and cool kitchen stuff..for example. hehehe. getting boxes today. need a good tv stand too.

Posted by: Missy at October 3, 2005 5:27 PMwhere in the US. can i buy that knife holder? you need to be more resourceful. I will buy that knife holder if you can find it in the US. I already have my striped shirt, and once I get my new fridge, I'll stock it with redbulls....crushed ones of course. Good ideas.
Posted by: brett at October 3, 2005 6:05 PMYeah, that knife holder is different this year. You need that brett. Order it from EU. Do it.

Apparently you need to get on a wait list for it... but so worth it.
Posted by: jeremie at October 4, 2005 10:39 AM$80!!! That's an expensive knife holder. (however I have spent more on a toy!...but pay no mind to that)
Posted by: brett at October 4, 2005 11:37 AMI knew you were all talk. You better own that thing by november.
Posted by: jeremie at October 4, 2005 1:53 PMdon't you talk to ME like that!
Posted by: brett at October 4, 2005 5:04 PMNote on furniture. Don't take any free sofa's from students finishing a co-op work term.
I watched TV on one for a month on one and then I found a flattend, dead, dried up mouse under a cushion and paid to have the whole thing cleaned.
Come to think of it, watching TV was kinda lonely after that....
Posted by: rob at October 4, 2005 8:42 PMheheheh. yea, the only thing i have to worry about is finding food that has missed jumping from jeremie's plate to his face which missed and landed in the couch. Which isn't such a big deal to me. Thankfully Jeremie and Becky are giving me their old couch. Aren't they the best? I think so.
Posted by: brett at October 5, 2005 10:09 AMyep.
Posted by: jeremie at October 5, 2005 2:54 PMit's a comfy couch (and frat-party free)...i've slept on it many a time. the best parts of my visits are watching food smear itself across jermie's face.
Posted by: Missy at October 6, 2005 11:42 AMI love me some food.
Posted by: jeremie at October 6, 2005 9:48 PM...and food loves you.
