The Life, The Apartment
Just a quick update on my life today. I just moved into a new apartment (my first actually!) down on the Plaza. It’s pretty sweet, and a lot less noisy than at my parents’ house where there are almost always at least three TV’s within earshot. My TV doesn’t even have cable. Actually all it has is an Xbox360 hooked up to it. I’m working on getting XBMC or Boxee up and running, but I haven’t decided which I like more / am going to stick with yet.
Anyways, it’s pretty sweet living here, because:
- I’ve always loved the Plaza – I even wanted my mom to bring me here during the same snow storm that Derrick Thomas died in in 2000
- It’s not Lee’s Summit – Lee’s Summit’s a great place to grow up, but the demographics are really skewed towards really old (50+) and really young (18-). Also, it’s really far from everything else in KC.
- I’m 10 minutes closer to work, but still comfortably far enough away to not feel like my job is my life
- I no longer have to drive 30 minutes to get home after a night out with my friends (or crash couches… haha)
- I wake up every morning and look out the window to the Giralda tower replica & flash back to Sevilla… which is nice now that it’s all cold weather!
I’ll post up some pictures when I finish getting unpacked. I still have a couple of boxes laying around that I need to take care of.
Besides that, life is life. I’m pretty surprised my car hasn’t died yet… one of the tires keeps losing air, but not quickly enough to worry about it. It’s funny how something always went wrong with it when I had no money, and now I have a job and no car problems.
