Yeah. I just removed my kitty litter last summer, but yeah. What is up with our big bathroom tiny apartments?! I don't even really have a kitchen. Our apartments sound like across the bay twins. Except mine just has a view of the hills... Your view really is amazing.

Ryan - that view is really amazing. And Amber's bathroom is oddly enormous.

If I find myself out there, I am gonna find a way to drag Paula along.

A hardwood floor in the closet?? Kind of a fancy finish for a closet... I could understand if it was already there, but if I had to put in new closet flooring (due to wear and tear??), I would probably just peel and stick some of those colorful interface flor carpet tiles. They're pretty inexpensive and come in all kinds of neat mod patterns, piles, etc.

And the more the merrier, since it's colder 'n a witch's cooter in January! We'll need the body heat.

Add me to the big-bathroom-in-a-tiny-apartment club. The floorplan in my current city apartment is really wacked out and very, very inefficient- a third of the space is literally hallway and foyer. My living area is tiny, but I have four large closets, including a walk-in closet that is about as big as the kitchen, which is smaller than the bathroom. Oh, and there are hardly any right-angles in the place. It's in an old converted 19th Century warehouse with barrel vaulted lofty ceilings, which some design genius decided to cover with popcorn paint at some point. Unfortunately my place overlooks the rooftop playground of the primary school across the street. Oh well... guess I have to be careful about walking around clothed if I am at home during the day. Otherwise, I have a peek of the Hudson River, New Jersey and the downtown financial towers. It's cute... I could however live without the transsexual teenage hookers throwing shade on Christopher Street on weekend nights.

Is that the one over in Commack? I have driven by it a gazillion times but never went inside. Those better be some fine pillows... $80 could buy you a brothel-full of pillows at the Pottery-Barn-Williams-Sonoma-Hold-This-West-Elm-blah-blah-blah outlet. I have a feeling that when I am ready to decorate my new place, I'm going to have a pillowgasm.

Hell yeah. The master bedroom has hardwood. Why not the closet too?

It's a ridiculous sized closet. About 12x10. It might as well be over top floor wise too.

Lawd child! That's not a closet- that is a studio apartment in Manhattan! Unless your name is Imelda Marcos, how could you possibly fill up that thing?

My style is very traditional -- but I like to be a little shocking in that. My condo is very sort of West Indies with lots of earth tones. Here is my old house -- my ex had FANTASTIC taste, so I did none of the decorating

It's mostly those rolling wardrobe rack things. Four of em. Only 1 level - not the double decker to the ceiling thing with two poles. And I have bins on top them that have blankets and **** like that in them - some other stupid things too. But it is pretty full. Also have a couple small shoe rack things. I have to admit, I do have about 17 pairs of boots. But not that many shoes.
Hey, a guy has to have stuff to wear. Winter jackets, sweaters, flannels, and that kind of **** take up a lot of space. Plus 4 suits and a tux take up room too. As do jackets - gotta have black leather, biker, bomber, suede, levi, levi with sherpa collar, trenchcoat, etc. And I never throw away good clothes.
****, I sound like Strand.

I went to Louisiana for a week or so and had limited net access. The holidays were great, but I am ready for January and the return to the diet
