Where We Live

Here's the scoop regarding our current apartment.


Good

  • - It’s a month-to-month, which gives us some flexibility as we search for a permanent place
  • - It’s cheap (relatively)
  • - It's a basement apartment, so it will be cool in the summer
  • - There is a cool exposed brick wall in the kitchen
  • - It has lots of storage room
  • - We can walk out onto a small lawn, which will be perfect for BBQs
  • - The ginormous Rock Creek park is a 3 minute walk away
  • - Our landlord is cool. A nut, but cool. He’s a producer or something for NPR.

Not so Good

  • - It has a beam running through the center of our ceiling. There is about 6’ of space underneath that beam. For those of you who have forgotten, I’m 6’3” tall.
  • - When it rains, the floor in the storage room gets wet.
  • - There’s a huge support pillar in the center of the living room.
  • - It doesn’t get much light, which can be depressing, and prevents us from having lots of houseplants, which we both want.
Me and the Knock-Out Beam

We’re looking to move into a permanent place in September. In the meantime, we’re happy... especially now that I've taken to wearing a helmet at home.

My usual endings of emails and letters with "take care" takes on a whole new meaning with this apartment's ceilings.
