Decorate my apartment!

Monday, January 29th, 2007

I need some help. I bought a large picture screen divider, though I got it much cheaper at Aaron Brothers. It can hold 15 8×10s, in a portrait form. Now, I just need to fill it!
I’ve gone through my 14,000 photo collection, and picked out 121 (how did I get that number? Just what [...]

I finally got my roof TV antenna working. No more rabbit ears on my expensive TV!

Picture time!

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

Ok, over the past few months I’ve acquired various pieces of art work, and tonight I got 3 of them up on the wall.
The first is a cover of National Comics #26 from the early 40s. This issue stared Uncle Sam

Couches!

Tuesday, January 11th, 2005

My couches finally came in today. Ed and I brought them into my apartment. The loveseat was easy enough, stand it on end, and it fit through the front door. The couch though….. I wound up knocking down the fence in front of the porch. It’s hard to visualize with out a photo, but not [...]

Apartment decorating

Sunday, January 9th, 2005

A few small changes to my apartment. Sarah came over for a brief away trip from home during her winter break, and I showed her some of the things at GV for the first time. She had heard her dad talk about elephants and fire trucks before, but hadn’t seen them. So, I enlightened her. [...]

IME dinner 2004

Saturday, November 20th, 2004

The IME Department’s Thanksgiving dinner was held tonight, at Professor Rosenkrantz’s place. Nice set up, well put together. A much better deal than last year at the dining commons. I of course was over dressed in my suit and tie. But I forgot to take my camera in, so I don’t have any pictures. But [...]

late rambelings

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

Last night I went down to Newport, saw Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow for free. Fun movie. A few small plot holes, but still fun. Just nice popcorn eating waste of time. But I didn’t have popcorn as I was full.
Got back in, and read through another 50 pages of Turtledove’s latest alternative [...]

Couches

Saturday, October 9th, 2004

Well, since I haven’t had time to go to the couch factory, I’m going to have my brother Ed buy me two identical to his. He has a black leather couch and love seat.
So at this point, the only question is the color. They do several types of leathers. I like both black and [...]

Contest time!
Look at these photos, and tell me what you like and don’t like. I may choose some or none of these to put in my apartment. I will take advice under consideration. This contest runs for as long as I feel like it, and if you give a good reason for or against [...]

Tacky Dresser

Saturday, September 11th, 2004

To start off the tacky apartment series, name kindly donated by Sarah, I shall start off by posting pictures of how the place currently looks. As soon as an area is clean enough to be presentable that is. The goal here is not to show you just a table and chairs, but to show some [...]
