Monday, May 08, 2006 All Moved In Yesterday I moved into my new apartment in Bucktown (a neighborhood on the Northwest side of Chicago known for the young, artsy types it attracts), where I'll be for at least the next year. It was wonderful staying with Bryan in Evanston for the last month, but he'll probably be glad to have his house back to himself (though it is amusing that when I left he had other vistors as well: a former roommate from Michigan plus wife and kid--so he didn't quite get his house back to himself immediately. The "hotel" is apparently a popular destination for visiting Michiganders). What was hilarious is that my roommate Scott had been in the apartment for a few days already with a guest of his own (yup, another Michigan friend), and between the two guys no one saw fit to buy dish soap, cups (there was literally one glass in the apartment, with no way to clean it), or paper towels. Apparently neither of them had bath towels either, so they'd been using T-shirts and toilet paper. In Scott's defense, he was waiting for the girl to arrive and put the place together, but it's still pretty funny that they could live without so many essentials. The apartment is beautiful though. We're right across the street from a good-sized park (two, in fact, since there's a tiny park next to the larger one) and the trees are blooming all along the street. And we have a fireplace and wood floors. Since we don't yet have all the furniture that we need, it's a little empty--it's perfect for a blues dancing party.... ^ Top | 5:21 PM | | |
