i mean, some people might enjoy eating soap, but i sure don't, and neither does my mother. gross gross gross.

my neighbor has been giving me $15 a month for internet - i'll be sad when the arrangement ends this month, as we're both moving on. if i used internet only i'd try to buy off someone else, but since i need my TV, i see no reason to not to bundle the internet in.

i've lived in two studios, and it's worth it to just do the bed, even if it means your bed has to be your sofa when guests are by. If you can find a way to section the bed off from the main area - a screen or something - it'll avoid feeling like just a big room. Good luck!

my parents got me a peugot pepper grinder for my birthday this year. i was using a dinky old nutmeg grater that just wasn't up for the task. well done, mom and dad.

so glad Royal Tenenbaums is on here - but would have loved to have seen the Life Aquatic instead, all those different rooms are so rad.

also a vote in for the 5th Element, although it's not "American," those apartments were great.

i lived in a garden apartment - in the winter i found it fine, but in the summer, the darkness was sort of a downer because it was so different than the "real" outside. couple that with feeling slightly unsafe - which was more of a problem with my landlord believing the locks didn't need to lock and that a piece of wood would suffice - and yeah, there were problems.
we never flooded, but we were constantly vigilant about keeping all the drains open.
it was VERY hot in the summer, even with the two bedrooms and the living room having AC units - which seems counter intuitive for a garden. in our case, the place got so hot because it was SO humid. flip side, that humidity was great in the winter; i have a humidifier in my new place on all the time.
it's all up to you in the end, though - good luck!

and i thought paying $575 for a 200sqft studio alone with my cat was rough...i can't image sharing this space, it would be impossible.

I just spoke at an event with Felix, so I kind of already felt obligated to give him my vote, but I'm rooting for Alex as well. I'm sad I was disqualified 'cos I used to live with a girl who works at MSI :(.

oh yay! i love my 'hood, super glad to see it featured here on AT...now if only to find out where this is ;) ;)

So I come here looking for inspiration for my new apartment, and I find you guys...which makes me feel creepy.
Why?
Because I'm the mayor of your store on foursquare!
I love you guys, I love what you've done here, and I wish you all luck!
