About Damn Time

So, I finally got my internet hooked up last night. It only took, like, two weeks to get everything delivered and in place. Yeah, little to say, I'm very pleased that I can now lurk the hell out of facebook in the comfort of my own home. However, the presence of the internet means it took me 3 hours to clean my one room apartment, because I kept taking "breaks" to refresh the page. Yeah, that might become a problem. But for the time being, cut me some slack.

Yes, I did clean my apartment today. I hadn't for the past few days, and things were getting cluttered. That's the one problem with living in a studio apartment -- if you leave things laying around, it gets very small very quickly. My apartment isn't too small, for a studio. For what I pay in this neighborhood (Lincoln Park) I can't complain at all. Things aren't that crowded, and I don't feel totally claustrophobic. I set my shelves up in the middle of the room to give me some sort of separation between living area and sleeping area. I have a pretty big walk in closet -- big enough to hide away things I don't really have a place for. And my kitchen is walk in, too, so it's not one of those "tucked into the opposite wall" kinda fake kitchens. Maybe I'll put pictures up at some point in time. I just have to take good ones.

I like living alone most of the time. Yeah, it sucks leaving school and knowing that everything I left in the morning is there to do, and there is no one else I can ask to help me out, but that doesn't get to me that much. I like having the freedom to do what I want when I want, and that the apartment is my space. It's pretty nice. I mean, Snicket is here, but she doesn't have any decoration preferences as long as I let her sleep on top of my cabinets.

Plan for tonight is, well, more interneting. 7:00 is my Keith Olbermann, who I missed last night due to setting up internet. Hopefully I'll be awake enough to watch Milk (trailer at right.) I got it over the weekend, and have yet to see it. I'm pretty good at judging movies based on the trailer (haven't been wrong yet) and I can already tell you this movie is great. I have to do some homework at some point, but I'm in no hurry. This afternoon away from it has been really, really nice. Maybe I'll just spend the next few hours dancing around my apartment some more (I never said I was cool.)
