You know what I'm doing this year? Making a huge batch of truffles, and folding little pyramidal boxes. I plan on giving them to anyone who I run into and like.

That room makes me think about being interrogated. I LOVE the elements, but somehow the way it's arranged gives me an uncomfortable vibe.

This makes me want to have grad school apartment wars! Ours is quite different, and is a student housing apartment (meaning 500sf, not 900), but it's no less awesome.

If it's a risk in veg, than it's a risk in fruit. The difference may lay in the fact that many fruits are wax-coated or irradiated to extend shelf life, while vegetables are rarely treated like this. Also fruit is generally cleaned more thoroughly when picked at the farm.

I tried out those Klipsch ones, and hated them. I replaced them with Bose IE2 (also around 100 bucks) and couldn't be happier :) Also, they're good for people who don't like buds, I think, because they don't go in your ear as much.

I don't know, I lived in 340sf with my now husband our cat and 3 bicycles, we had dinner parties with like 18 people, I cranked out some gourmet grub in the teeny tiny kitchen. The size almost never bothered us. It's got to coincide with a seachange shift in how you view storage, though. My husband taught me the store things like a boat mentality. Everything has 2, 3, or 4 uses. It's kinda awesome and helps you really pare down your crap.
