my apartment picspam

OK. I FINALLY figured out how to send photos from my phone to my computer - or how to email them to myself, basically (it's SOOO freaking easy, I can't believe it took me that long... *sigh*). So today I'm posting some pics of my new place. They aren't particularly good, sometimes quite blurry... but they're as good as I & my phone can possibly make them, and I couldn't resist anyway.:)





This was taken soon after I moved in. There are still unpacked boxes around, but the new sofa looks nice anyway.:)

< The view from the opposite side of the room; the trinkets on the table (and the table itself, lol) are mostly housewarming gifts from my family.

The lovely cherry desk it took my poor father two days to assemble.:D

A closer view of the desk, and the nicely decorated wall behind it (the black&white pics taped to the desk itself are of Lacrimosa - the German goth rock band I'm crazy about ;).

Still closer up - this is what I have on my wall, people! *evil grin*

My beautiful tree, which grows like crazy.:D

The tree again, and a bit of my deliciously comfy papasan chair.:)

The kitchen - you can see the cute old-fashioned cupboard, the antique radiator and the little ladder I use to access the upper shelves of my extremely high kitchen cabinets.

A peek into the bathroom - I guess everyone knows by now what my favorite color is.:D

A portrait of me painted by my father. He used a photo taken in 1999; I'm not that pretty anymore... LOL.

In other news, this weekend is the hottest so far in the Chicago area: the temperature during the day hovers between 30-35C (around 100F, is it?... I'm not sure, since I have set my desktop weather forecast for Celsius). Which is nearly unbearable, as far as I am concerned. So I'm staying inside, praising powers that be for air conditioning. *basks in the cool draft*

And that's all I have to say at the moment.

I could feel myself at home there.

I'm glad to hear that.:)

I particularly love Laying Claim.

It's amazing, but my personal favorite is "Vow". Aragorn seems so possessive there, I can almost hear him growl: MY elf!... LOL. And Legolas doesn't mind in the least... *melts*

Wish you have the best moments of your life in there, my friend.

Thank you so much.
