New house!

Mike and I seem to be getting more and more settled in our new digs. This weekend was rather eventful because we got rid of a waste-of-space couch (used to be to the right of the fridge below) and we went to Ikea. I had never been and it was quite the cluster-fuck of everything you could ever need for your house. In fact, I think that's even their slogan. Well, they didn't have everything. I was in the market for a super sweet toilet mat and after searching till I was sweaty and disoriented I finally asked an employee. He looked at me as if he were thinking in his head "I hate my job, I hate my job" and told me no. NO. A two story warehouse with actual layouts of houses (including bathrooms) and no toilet mat. I was shocked. And mad. And sweaty.

Luckily we got out of there and I was able to focus on being productive. Below is the picture of the coffee table purchased from Ikea and assembled by yours truly. As much as I would love to bitch about assembling my own furniture (has anyone watched the newest episode of The Wire?) I must say, I love it. I wasn't super stoked about the screw that wouldn't go in because it went perfectly into a knot, but at least it's real wood.

So this is our living room, the front door has the giraffe poster on it and right next to it is little built in shelves which are pretty wicked.

This is the kitchen, with my back to the living room picture you just saw. The back door is to the left.

Now with my back to the kitchen, you can see Mike at my desk, bookshelves behind him and straight ahead is the living room. The old couch is in this picture so don't get confused.

My wall-o-relatives.


This is Chris. Not only was he my RA freshman year, but he also grew up with Mike. He also enjoys playing guitar while making weird faces. Just be glad this has no audio.

This is the hallway, the living room is to the right, I am standing in the doorway of the bedroom.
This is the bedroom. And yes, this is clean.

And then, there was photobooth.




This is how exciting our new house is:


Thank you MacBook.
