Let's face it, MTV is never going to film an episode of Cribs here.

Deleted my last post because it was too much effort to change. Man, I am getting lazy.

If I had to describe my new apartment in two words, it would be...

Spacious.
I am the first to admit that I do not have enough furniture to fit this apartment.  My bathroom could literally be another bedroom.  I can't brush my teeth in the shower because the sink and bench are too far away.  That's never happened to me before in any house I've lived in.

Charming.  
Though it's been updated over the years, every now and then you'll walk into a patch of uptown 1970's.  My living room is framed with bare brick arches, and all the toilets have ridiculous tiles.  I have not one, not two, but three chandeliers. Enough said.

I'm going to get spoilt, I really am.  I'm already getting lazy, what's not to say that the next step won't be expanding my girth to take up all the empty space.  I'd never be able to afford such a cool place near major city centers.  The apartment in Brisbane was 1/2 this size, and we were paying $480/week for it.  Ridiculous.   I can see the beach here from my bedroom window.  Tiny apartments in the city sell for 500k, whereas out here, you could buy a pretty decent house for 300k.  I'm never going to be able to live in a city again.  I'm going to become one of them.  A bogan.   I'm going to start dropping the c-word like it's rain during a storm season.

If I end up staying, I'm soooo going to open a Nandos.


Writing-wise, November is still all about nano for me.  No time for anything else.  I've caught up to the daily quota today.  I think that's important enough that it needs to be said twice.  I caught up today.
