felis_ultharus: The Pardoner from the Canterbury Tales (Default)
So the work on my room finally progressed to the point where I couldset up the bed Matt bought me as a birthday present. It's a beautiful, black metal-frame bed, the nicest one I've owned.

Actually, this is the first room I've ever had where I feel I can decorate -- most of my rooms have been places to store stuff, and any attempts at decoration were more like damage control than anything else. I spent most of my week sanding and then staining shelves to match drapes.

These Verdun Human Filing Cabinets (my name for these stacked duplexes) are really nice inside, though always oddly proportioned. My room is the same width as my last two rooms, but at least twice the length. Meanwhile, the living room is more of a bulge in the corridor between the front door corridor and the kitchen. The kitchen is huge, and the bathroom is tiny.

Still, it's an old place with a lot of character. New apartments in Montreal seem to be airless, soulless, unhappy places with stained rugs that emit a swampy miasma of ten years' worth of smells. And hardwood floors are a definite plus to anyone with cats.

Moving [livejournal.com profile] em_fish yesterday went very smoothly. Next Saturday we get her big furniture. Next Sunday, there shall be a game. And next Friday, those in town who can do evenings might want to come to a drag show fundraiser for the NDP, which [livejournal.com profile] montrealais has worked very hard on :)

This meme seems to have really made the rounds of my friends' list in the last 24 hours. I first spotted it on [livejournal.com profile] yumemisama's journal:

(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

I miss somebody right now. I don't watch much TV these days. I own lots of books.
× I wear glasses or contact lenses. I love to play video games. I've tried marijuana.
I've watched porn movies. × I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. I believe honesty is usually the best policy.
I curse sometimes. I have changed a lot mentally over the last year. × I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.
it goes on... )
