My RL MH (12-21-09)

[Ikonic]

I figured it's time to get some pictures of the new apartment. I am in the process of rearranging it again and wanted to get these taken before I moved everything. Enjoy!

[Crumb]

Ik, ever seen that show "Hoarders"?

[Ikonic]

I have and I'm nowhere close to that bad.

[Mnementh]

So you don't like the light, eat a lot of Kix, and do a lot of priority mailing... hmmm

[Ikonic]

The light is ok in small doses, I've never eaten Kix, and most of those "mailing" boxes are from my new computer and I don't want to toss them until I've tested the new computer a bit.

I know what freaked me out was the towel on the chair. The only time there is a towel in my chair is when I'm playing naked. It's fine for me but I don't want the mental picture of Ikonic pantless.

[Mnementh]

I was referring to the empty Kix box used for storage and the three rolls of priority mailing tape on top of your microwave.

Is that a large chunk of upholstery ripped off of that chair or is it like a pillow or something?

Edit: I also love the table with like a candle, febreeze, some scented aromatherapy oil... and then like a container of garlic salt or something.

Most times I'm in shorts and the chair is plasticy and sticks after a bit, so I use the towel to keep any chances of bare skin from touching the chair.

It turns out that the chair really isn't that good. The back of it is fine, but the seat doesn't have the best padding. I'm debating about modifying the chair to add more padding and a better tilt, but that would take some serious effort as I'd probably end up using some 2x4s and 2x6s to get more spacing so the padding and tilt would come out right.

I understand the Kix box. I'd forgotten about the mailing tape. Back when I had my computer company I ordered a bunch of shipping supplies from USPS and ended up not using much of them. So now whenever I need to tape something I just use that.

That's a pillow that I made from an old couch cushion. It's a foam cushion and I cut it to support my neck more and still be comfortable. It was made for my other recliner, but I'm using it for this one atm. It looks rather ratty because it is. Over time the covering has come loose and much of the outer layer has degraded and fallen off.

The oil and candle are to try to get my apartment to smell something other than it does. It doesn't smell bad, just boring. I've found the candle seems to work better than the oil, but the smell dissipates quickly.

The Febreze was used a couple months ago when I washed the bedding and wanted to spray the mattress to help remove any unwanted smells. I placed it on the table for lack of a better place to put it and it's been there ever since.

That's not garlic salt, but cinnamon sugar. I use it on my popcorn from time to time.

I dont want to be the one to point out the obvious but...

NO BACON!



also
Is that a bunch of 2x4's in your kitchen?


my house always has stuff like that chilling somewhere. I think right now its some sort of attic/roof foam thingys and insulation in our TV room lol.

[Ikonic]

The bacon is in the fridge and freezer. I don't keep it lying out.

Yes, those are 2x4s. When I moved my storage was full and I couldn't put them in it, so they just came to the apartment.
