I finally got a decent digital camera, so for those of you who want to know what my apartment looks like, here it is.

Swordage! Just inside my apartment door. My dad originally made the rack for me to hang my bows from, but really, I think it works much better this way. Don't you?

Living space When you've got a 500 square foot studio apartment, you gotta do what you can with your space. I sleep in the loft. The kitchen is through the doorway on the right. The telly is under the stairs to the loft, and the bathroom's behind all this lot.

Desk My desk and my bookshelf- there will be a second bookshelf shortly, once I paint the darn thing and get it assembled. I still have way too many books to be strictly healthy.

Bathroom Look, it's got a wooden ceiling! ... well, *I* like it that way...

Looking down from the loft That's my dining table on the left and my couch up against the wall. The detritus on the table is, er, my electronics stuff; I'm teaching myself electronics from a book and feel no need to clean up between sessions.

OhmiGod- I ***WANT**** your Ghostbusters comic poster! *Jealous rage*
I think your place is great- although you need to put things on your walls! I wish I lived nearer so I could come over and help you decorate- if there's one thing I'm good at is decorating. ^_^

Also jealous of swords and white couch.

I got it from Graham Crackers Comics, in Chicago- I think their web site is www.grahamcrackerscomics.com. I dunno if any other comic stores sell it online, but they might still have it in stock for all I know. It was $8 plus the cost of shipping, for me.

I have plenty of stuff to put on the walls; I haven't framed it yet, that's all. That 'living space' photo contains one framed poster that I intend to hang up as soon as I get some wire so I'm not just balancing it on a couple of nails, and there's another poster that's 26 x 28 instead of 24 x 36 so it's a bit hard to frame. Plus a few certificates and things (mostly for Red Cross service). There are pictures and stuff on the walls on the way to the bathroom- a Judd Winick sketch, a pencil sketch of an Akhal-Teke stallion, a print of ursulav's "Billy Vs. Satan", my Arctic Circle crossing certificate- but that part of the apartment's a little pinchy since that's where I keep the laundry hampers so I didn't photograph it.

The couch was chosen largely 'cos a) attractive and b) I could get it up the stairs by myself. It also comes in dark blue, but they were sold out of that colour when I got there. Still, the white's nice, since I have no kids or furry things to shed on it... and yeah, I like the swords too. I need to show my dad at some point so I can thank him properly.

yay for ursulav paintings! *looks at one that keeps grey cubicle from being too aaaah get me out of here*

And bizarrely, I also have a sketch of a stallion. Not the same one, but ... yah. *G*

Nice place though - and I echo the 'nice ceiling' on the bathroom. As well as the 'one can never have too many books' (especially given the fact that half our rather small bedroom is taken up by my bookshelves - he gets one shelf, I get alll the rest! - so I may be biased)

Oh, there's no way it could be the same sketch. It's one I did myself. ^_^

And thank you. This was the fourth or fifth apartment that I looked at, and I'm really quite fond of it by this point.
