Let's take a look, shall we? We'll start in the living room.
This room contains actual mountain views, as well as a skyline vista. Also included in the suite is a small nook outside the kitchen. The entry hall is a bit skinny, but you have to keep in mind that not everything can be perfect.
The bedroom.
How decadent that one of your age and status would have separate spaces for both living and sleeping! I cannot disagree. You must remember, however, the first apartment I looked at was a dirty studio and cost around 50 dollars less per month, so I don't feel that extravagant. Moving on.
I am officially back to the realm of the tiny kitchen. Those of you who were aware of my place in Madison were probably acquainted with the fact that it was the smallest kitchen in world history. This one is better, but let's just say that Paula Deen and Captain Michael probably won't be cooking in there together any time soon. "Ain't too much room in theeere, ya'll. We better take our hootenanny outside to the barbecue."
Oh man! And a view? God, I know. If you ignore the power lines, there are actually some mountains back there. Speaking of power lines, the pigeons that were perched on them last evening were quite menacing. I rather think they were putting on a show of aggression for me standing outside. They would fly right towards my balcony, hover, and then turn around to fly back to the lines. I give it about 48 hours before one comes in and tries to eat my dinner.
I was wondering why there would be so many pigeons just hanging around in a dirty alley (besides their general rat-like nature) and it turns out some lousy neighbor of mine, or alley dweller, is feeding them each evening. Gross, dude. They're pigeons. Unless they are delivering messages across enemy lines, there is no need to attempt domestication. Adopt a cat.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to our little family thing in July, but it will be hard to leave my new home! But, it turns out I'm ridiculously busy these days, so it will be nice to have the (hot and humid) break. I will leave you with a better idea of what the Dolphin looks like now. Further updates will be forthcoming if I decide they are worth it.
Sincerely,
Daniel Hooker
