My new dig

This past month I moved to a new place. My family helped so it only took like 2 minutes. They are great.

I drove a huge 17' truck and only crashed it once!

Go me.

I didn't take a picture of the place I'm staying, but imagine a sideways brick with windows. That's the house!
The whole thing was built in 1905. That was like 20 years before the pioneers came. I think it's haunted (!!!) Here's a picture of the studio:

Every morning I roll off the futon, work on stuff all day, then roll back into bed. It is the perfect schedule for a starving artist and I'M ABOUT TO GO MAAAAAAAAAAD

The kitchen is my favorite. I'm going to decorate it like the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor. I really want a giant jade elephant for it.

My budget is about $10.

Best part of the new place? A pipe runs through the kitchen cupboards and it keeps all my dishes warm. Sometimes I just take 'em out and have a snuggle.

Awesome \O/

  1. That's so cool. Warm dishes in an old house. Who needs warm bricks to put in the bottom of your sleeping bag. You just might be onto something and it just might help the starving artist dilema. Sell regular plates under the pretense of being the solution to cold bedsheets where your feet go. 38 seconds in the microwave (if you're not lucky enough to have old pipes in the cupboard), lightly tuck them in the bed and voila! This story made me laugh out loud, thanks for sharing.

  2. I'm super envious of your drawing desk. And do my eye detect dual-monitors?! You upgraded! This is officially win.

    And if it's haunted, that's a double-win.

  3. Congrats on the new place! It feels so bright and happy. Are you going to put your weeping angels up with your warm dishes? :)

  4. NO WEEPING ANGELS IN MY NEW HOME!!

    Also: selling warm dishes. I think I could go for that. I'm stealing the idea and selling hot mugs and bowls and am going to get RICH RICH RICH

  5. I love your new place!! It's a dream of mine to live in a old house someday. And when we do, Kevin wants it to be haunted. Figures.

  7. I have to say I've given it a lot of thought and I'm going to say warm dishes appeal to me about as much as a warm pillow case.

    I'm sure there are tangible benefits like keeping the mashed potatoes warm, but all I can think of is how quickly the cereal milk would go warm.

    Yuck.
