1 47 pm pdt [ evolution V ]

I'm feeling a little frayed around the edges.

For my own sanity, my updates on the "new apartment" list:

needs:

  • dining room table (gift from the man who is, for all intents and purposes, my stepfather) and chairs
  • bedside table(s)
  • dresser(s)
  • a collander (Matthew wants stainless steel with small holes, but not mesh)
  • two hampers (one for whites and one for darks)
  • a set of knives (preferably Wüsthof)
  • hand towels for the bathroom

wants:

  • a teapot
  • 3 more double old fashioned glasses and a set of 6 highball glasses of the Crate and Barrel "Direction" barware variety and perhaps also 6 of the beer mugs and/or the pilsner glasses
  • to have the couch cleaned
  • windowboxes (hopefully from Windowbox.com)
  • 2 birdfeeders for outside the bedroom windows
  • new towels
  • bookshelves (another 6 x 6 foot one from IKEA and a couple of their cheap white ones...)
  • storage shelves for the big closet (w/ step-ladder)
  • skinny shelves to hold CDs in their jewel cases, DVDs, and videos
  • candelabras
  • a reef tank
  • a [USB] printer
  • an indoor greenhouse to grow orchids in & orchids to grow

we're not so sure about:

  • curtains
  • cable (we get 0 channels now)
  • screens for the windows
  • toaster oven
  • convection oven
  • a little shelf for the freezer
  • tall plants to go outside the bedroom

to fetch from LA (when I go again for Thanksgiving):

  • my silverware
  • kitchen items (garlic press, pepper mill, etc.)
  • all my clothes
  • alcohol from my old apartment (to pawn off on people at parties)
  • extra hangers
  • any art supplies I can locate
  • all candles (esp. 3-wick red)
  • my stereo and CDs
  • my computer
  • my computer table?
  • my old dresser?
  • all computer paraphernalia
  • all DV paraphernalia
  • all video paraphernalia

things to speak to the manager about:

  • who's broom is this?
  • if you want to replace this sink...

 

[ 3 years: ]

three years ago today: I am about to leave for my dad's house and tomorrow I will be on a plane at seven am.

two years ago today: I was at my finest. When it comes to home improvement projects, I won't complain and I don't give up.

one year ago today: I pranced outside to check the temperature and found that the pool was over 90 degrees at 11 at night.
