What a great weekend! I actually took it kind of easy, and made great strides with the apartment. IKEA was exhausting, but the living room looks great; and my bedroom is nearly done. I have one corner exactly the way I want it. I read about Tempaper, which is basically removable wallpaper. I got it in an orange/ gray art deco pattern, and put up my shelves where I store my jewelry, and various mementos. (Yes, that’s my birth certificate up top). It makes me happy.
My new roomie is significantly less interested in decorating than I am, and she said I’m inspiring her. She told me she basically went through all of law school without bothering to get a sofa- she used a pillow and a box as a table. That’s her jumping off point for living conditions; she loves the improvements I’ve made to the place so far; and seems awed by how nice it feels to live somewhere nice.
On Friday I did go to a comedy show though- a friend of a friend was one of the comedians. Because of this connection, we got a reserved table: the closest one to the stage. My friends stuck me in the first seat. This puts me in a spot to get heckled anyway, but what made it worse is that I’m used to improve where audience participation is expected. In stand-up, it’s rhetorical. Not really understanding this concept, when the comedian asked who takes the bus, I happily raised my hand. Let the heckling begin! It was hilarious though- I was laughing so hard I was crying profusely… and the comedian brought me some tissues (and heckled some more). Very therapeutic AND I got an ab workout!
