Where it's at (a description of my home)
If you've read my previous blog, you know by now that I am injured and thus, it should come as no suprise to you that I am typing. But this is one of those reasons that I made this blog. Mass communication to my friends, the likes of a mass e-mail, but a little less invasive.
Anyways, as people may be wondering, I would like to describe my home for a moment, and if I can figure out how, I will add pictures.
First of all, because of the winter chill, houses in New England are contained entirely indoors. This is to say that my neighbors and I share a foyer which leads up to my staircase and such. So if you were trying to figure out the containment problem from my previous blog, remember that everything is inside, and there's no way to say, hang a couch over the railing of my landing. I have no landing. Anyways. Once you've moved past this staircase, you are in my apartment. For those of you who are familiar with any place I have ever lived (on my own, at any rate) this apartment is bigger. Furthemore the East and south walls are composed completely of windows . So that our front room has seven windows. The floors are hardwood.
Off the front room, we have the dining room/library. We've dug all of our books out of storage and are now determined to put them all up. This means that, though we have eight book shelves, we're still not sure whether we'll have enough shelf space, but I digress.
In each room is a radiator-type heater. It runs on oil. I'm sure Maxwell is really going to enjoy.
Also off the front room is the smallest of what I think would pass as one of our three bedrooms. The plan is to make this Lynn's room for her projects. This room, though smallish has five windows.
Now mind you, I love all these windows. They're great. Really let in the light, and all that. But ask me about them in December and my opinion of them might change. For now, they're incredible.
Off of the dining room/library is our kitchen. It is twice as large as our chico kitchen, yet still manages to have half as much counter space. We're dealing. Still, it does have a lot of room.
Off the kitchen is our bedroom, bathroom, and my den--thereby completing what I earlier called our three bedrooms.
Also off the kitchen is the back stair. The stair case opens onto the back foyer and our back porch (which is enclosed by netting). The most interesting feature about the back stair is its slope. Looking down the stair recalls the final scene of the Excorcist. Climbing the stair reminds me of the intermediary films between rooms in Resident Evil.
From our kitchen and bedroom, we have access to the attic, which is finished and is essentially another room. In fact, had we heat or air conditioning up there, it would serve as the largest of our bedrooms. The main chamber of the attic runs nearly the entire length of our apartment, save a quasi-mouldy offshoot where the previous tenants abandoned a matress.
I'm hoping to upload pictures of all this. Until then, use your imaginations.
