I just wanted to drop a note and say that I am well and living in box-land in my new apartment. I have scored a place in the middle of the Highlands in Louisville, KY - right smack dab where I wanted to be. I have a nice two-bedroom right off of Bardstown Rd. within walking distance of, well, everything:
There are innumerable bars just across the street from me. Coffee shops, restaurants, shops, groceries stores, and liquor stores abound. I am on a bus route that take me directly to work. I am a long block away from Cherokee Park where I run every morning. My windows are shaded by the trees lining the street. Bardstown Rd is populated by hot women. The library is down the street. There is a farmer’s market every Saturday about a block away from me. Baxter Ave. Theatre has regular midnight movies.
The apartment itself is beautiful. Hardwood floors and plaster walls. High ceilings and new fans. Central air/heating. I have a gas range. The landlord is a nice guy. There are lots of windows. I bathe in a claw-foot bathtub.
Of course, with a real job now, I’m not going to be spending as much time in my apartment-of-awesomeness as I otherwise would have - especially now. My boss has been called to active duty (bummer) and I am now a full-time employee as a result (yay). At any rate, I’m busy getting out of boxes and making my apartment livable. I plan on being there for several years, so I’d better make it a place I want to stay in. Also, there *IS* a second bedroom for any of you weary travellers. Just sayin’.
