Let Me, Let Me, Let Me...

 

I have been seeing these little boxey dudes all over my neighborhood on the bottom of run down buildings and I'm becoming quite obsessed with them. They are always singing a song too, even better! This one is singing a Morrissey song -- love!

All this street art has made me think of the documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop". Its a doc about the legendary street artist Banksy but has a surprising twist. I highly recommend it.

just a taste

Here's a photo of our dining room/living room area. Aren't those blue lights awesome? I'm a fan when I don't hit my head on them. We still have a lot of work to do, but its coming along little by little. 

Here's a close up of the bookshelf. I have some more work to do on the third shelf, its a work in progress. And yes, the walls are pink. Your eyes are not deceiving you but we wish they were deceiving us. 

*sigh*

We are awaiting confirmation from our landlord to see if we can paint them. They really are peptobismol pink. How did we MISS THAT when we looked at the place?

Little by little we are getting there! Almost, Home Sweet Home.

Buffalo

I will start posting the interesting Philly street art I see around the city. 

Not entirely sure what it means, but I like it!

New Views

So, we have finally moved into our new place. Its rather large and we are trying hard to make it ours. Isn't it weird that you can move somewhere completely new but still have some of your old (couch, chair, etc) that make you comfortable? I appreciate those things the most. Our floors are polished concrete so it's coooooooooold, we need to buy rugs. Our bathroom is open, meaning there is no door to the master toilet. We need to buy a spring rod and shower curtain. Our closet is HUGE. We need to buy more clothes. That one I like. :) 

We do love our new place and our new neighborhood. We went bar hopping on Saturday with my sister and her boyfriend (they came down from NYC to help us move in) and Philly people aren't so bad! haha! Sounds so funny, but, when you grow up hating Eagles fans you have no choice but to blast this northern city. 

I promise to put up more pictures as the place gets more and more settled. But for now, here is a photo of our view. We absolutely LOVE it. 

I WANT...

REALLY BADLY! 

pretty please someone? :) 

I hate packing.

I hate packing.

I hate packing.

I hate it.

I do.

Was listening to the radio this morning and heard the following topic from a morning DJ, 

"does taste in music affect your relationship?" 

 

Seems completely silly to say that it would or does. But then... I started thinking... and I totally agree! 

When Scott starts playing his dance/electro/pokeyoureyesout music I literally leave the apartment and continue to work in the office lobby. Now, to dig deeper into this, 

"does taste in music affect your relationship to where its a deal breaker?" 

No. Thankfully.

However, some of those "songs" sound like video games I watched my brothers play in the 80's. I sound like an old fart... but, I did the whole electro/danceyerfaceoff genre in the 90's in London. Just can't be matched. BAM!

You can yell at me later, Scott. I love you. :)

Anyone else have an ear challenge from their bf/gf/roommate/sibling/PARENT?!
