Finally! I have real internet!

Alright, my internet is finally fixed (no thanks to Vodafone) and now it's down to business. I've got masses of pictures that have been piling up over the past few weeks, so I had to upgrade my Flickr account.

The new apartment is very nice, but living all by myself is something I'm not sure I'll ever really get used to. To make a long, whiney story short, I don't like it. But that's not really what this post is about.

For obvious security-related reasons, I'm not posting up pictures of the outside of my apartment building. You'll all just have to see it when you come visit me. Also, I took these pictures a couple weeks ago, and I've made some decorating changes since then, but you get the general idea. I'll show you around inside. Come on in...

This is what you see as you come in the door. Straight ahead is the bathroom, to the left is the sitting room/office/dining room/kitchen, and around the corner is the bedroom.



Here's the sitting room...



And the rest of it... (the bookshelf wasn't made yet)



Here's the beginnings of the bookshelf



Ta-da! It's still standing today! Even with books on it! I'm amazing.



Here's the office area. I <3 my computer. Don't worry, that tacky vase of styrofoam fruit was one of the first things to go.



Here's the dining room area.



This my ninja kitchen. There are appliances hiding in there, you just can't see them. They're like ninjas.



Where's the fridge?



Surprise! Ninja fridge!



Where's the washing machine?



Surprise! Ninja washing machine!



This is the ninja dishwasher, but I didn't take a picture of it because it was on at the time. However, I'll never use it again becuase it's a piece of crap and doesn't actually wash the dishes.



This is my super awesome tea set. I <3 it. Except that the teapot doesn't so much pour the tea...it's more like it spits the tea. Or throws it. It kind of goes everywhere no matter how carefully you pour it. Oh well, as long as it looks pretty. I also have two mugs that match it. I keep meaning to go get two more.



Here's the bathroom. The tub is huge



Here's some more of the bathroom. I'm thinking of getting an aloe plant to put on that windowsill.



And the bathroom again.



Into the bedroom! I got these little plastic drawers to keep my stuff organized.



My awesome giant closets. I finally got a chest of drawers to put in there, but I haven't taken a picture yet. It fits pretty damn perfectly though.



I <3 my new bed linens.



I also love this big shelf/windowsill above my bed. I've since removed the stupid fake plant and put a real one there. Hooray!



So there you have it. This is where I live now. I'll try to make another blog post later with pictures of the Sunday farmers market that I go to every week, and the pictures from when Kalen and I climbed up Dalkey Hill. But now I need to go make some supper before knitting.
