Well, I'm here in Texas and mostly settled in. There are a few (huge, glaring) problems, notably a broken air conditioner (I dare you to look up the average temperature in College Station right now. I dare you!!) and the shocking revelation that when I called and specifically asked if this unit came with a fridge the answer was merely, "Yes", with no mention of the fact that it is indeed a MINIfridge. Also, the pool is bright green. So much for the crystalline pools advertised by the complex's website. And, on top of all that, the toilet is highly temperamental and I've had to reach into the tank a half-dozen times at least to adjust the seal. Grrr...I suppose I should be grateful that I know what to do...but I'm not feeling super generous right now, while I sit here in shorts and a tank and still sweating like a pig!
Here are some pictures from the trip and my new place:
The name made me giggle!
Fueling up! We did a lot of this...
Outside some coffee shop in New Orleans. I kept thinking of that Scooby Doo on Zombie Island movie, and wishing I had it on DVD!
I was trying to capture how spooky the moon and the abandoned house were.
Sadly, even moving away from the pillars didn't really illustrate it the way I wanted.
The guy hugging the dog kept trying to buy it from it's owner (the sitting guy). Sitting Guy was unimpressed.
No idea who this guy is. Just liked the random shot!
My new place! I did not take a single before picture because it was just TOO DEPRESSING. Anyway, that couch pulls out into a bed and will be my bed for a month or two until I can afford to get one from Macy's or somewhere.
How I'm going to cook a Thanksgiving meal in this pathetic excuse for a kitchenette, I just don't know.
I mean, if it weren't for the table and shelving that I added, I'd have NO space at all! To store or do anything!
I'm going to eat there too. In case you can't tell, on the middle of the table is a vase my little sister got me, filled with the origami cranes she can make half-asleep and with her eyes closed.
This is my awesome green desk and my awesome green chair. WOO!
The bathroom is much worse than it looks. I'm going to have to scrub like hell and figure out some genius way to tart the place up.
Where I'm sleeping right now, and where my bed will eventually go.
That's all for now!
