sabotabby: The problem is—and this is a serious problem—I'd go back to taking mushrooms just so that I could sit on the can and see God.zingerella: I don't know why you'd need the mushrooms.

One day we went to see a house in the Green End Road (home of the Sinister Greenend Organisation, which would have been really convenient). So we were thinking as we walked up the path. The door opened, and an old lady who could possibly have been young when the Romans settled the town welcomed us in, followed by a large and bounding black dog. I mean, a LARGE black dog. The kind that horror novels are written around.
So we go and look around. It is pretty much okay for a house where it is. The asking price is about average; she's wanting to sell it and move into assisted living. But it's not just that the wallpaper was done just like the wallpaper shown above in the style beloved of old ladies everywhere (why is this?! if I go to Tazakhstan will all old women decorate like this? if I decide to live as a woman and reach the age of eighty will I get the sudden urge to redecorate?). I could have lived with the wallpaper. I could even have changed the wallpaper, if I'd moved in. No, that wasn't the big deal.
The big deal was that dog. The dog must have pissed in every corner of every room of that house. The stench was almost indescribable: I can only assume that people's noses fail when they get older along with their eyes. If my dad had bought the house, it would have cost thousands and thousands to fumigate the place as though there'd been giant roaches or something.
That dog. The dog she kept shouting at and calling back by name. You want to know what the name of this big black dog was? It began with N, and there were five more letters.
My dad did not buy.

I have two long haired cats and vacuum my hardwood floors. It goes fast.
which I'm sort of a slacker about as is.
Too much of a slacker to use the labor saving invention?

Also, I don't like how carpets look.
Agreed. I only have carpet in the bedroom.

I think it looks cool. Couple of throw rugs and you got it. :)

It's on the Danforth, it's not too crazy! I've been hanging out in that area recently, it's decent enough. And it's pretty close to Little India!!1eleventy!one

I need to get over my psychological block about crossing the bloody bridge. Donlands is a bit too far.
(Though Little India!eleventy!one!! Would be one of my favourite bits of the city if it wasn't so hard to get to.)

And it is affordable, no?
You can always put down carpets and throw rugs.
And hey, Halal Pizza, Yum!

Yeah, I concur with mostly everyone above - throw rugs over mideastern linoleum, etc. - and $1050 split between two people for three rooms is pretty damn good, the real question is who is gonna win the fight over the use of the extra room (or are you thinking of bringing a third in and splitting the rent down to a nice dirt-cheap $350 each)?
And, again like they all said - living above a shop sounds cool. You can have band practices after 5pm as loud as you want! (You will of course want to convene a band, if you don't already have one.)
no subject
Living above a shop is nice, but not so nice that I want to go to the laundromat.
no subject
Yes, I remember that from the last (one) time I saw your current apartment last summer. It was/is a nice place, I understand why you are both so angered to be kicked out... especially the lovely roof access!
And, I retract the above statement re: $1050 for two being 'pretty damn good'. $525 each is simply okay for a shared apartment, although again, it looks like it makes for a lot of space..

Re: moving survey

Re: moving survey
No laundry, possibility of bugs with any place near a restaurant (though they're probably cleaner than a non-halal pizza place!), and bloody hot in the summer. I've done it before.
