Moving Next Door

January 9, 2011

It’s a long story, but this month I’ll be moving to the next door apartment. This is weird and also convenient. So now I’ve got six months of rental time to find a permanent condo or something, hopefully.

Things noticed so far during the move

  • Too many goddamned paintings

  • The paint-catcher canvas what saved me from many rental fees and fines

Simply get carried away and add too much white and blue at once! Oh well, it’s all part of the painting process.

Next step: Resurrection. And then another ruining likely. And so on and so on…
