Then again, I might be willing to reconsider all of that in exchange for being able to see the Chrysler Building out my window. Assuming I had won the lottery, of course.

Rather than feeling claustrophobic, it seems cozy to me. I'd prefer not to pay the better part of two grand for it, but hey, life's all about compromises.

I know I couldn't live like that if the place was in the middle of the French Fucking Riviera.

Where did Kamran keep all of his off-season sweater vests? I'm a terrible New York cliche and actually have purses and winter coats stored in my upper kitchen cabinets (none of which I can reach without a stepladder). This post also reminded me that my bathroom sink is constructed in such a way that it sits just a couple inches directly beneath the the wall of mirrored medicine cabinets so you have to tilt your head sideways as well as down to wash your face. I'm so accustomed I only ever notice when I have guests and they give themselves black eyes. Also this: "My current apartment in Brooklyn may be bigger and nicer and much more conducive to actually living a half-normal life, but living in that apartment was living in the center of New York Fuckin’ City." I don't have a view of the Chrysler Building (I have a view of an alley) but this is basically exactly how I feel about moving to the outer boroughs and now I'm moaning at my desk again.

It was in the middle of nowhere and her neighbor was creepy and stole bras and undies from the washer when people weren't around. It was grad student housing. It reminded me of those 'hotels' in Japan that are basically beds. How y'all survive that is beyond me. Still, it's impressive all the same.

So excited to edit those pictures. This reminds me that I owe you a guest post. I was looking forward to writing that post, actually, and then I failed because of the life-craziness. Is the Travel Blog House that big castle-like thing you posted on Facebook? Gooooorgeous. I took it to Grand Central the other night and was BLOWN AWAY by exactly how much you can get with 10mm.
