Ahem, We'll start today's tour upstairs, in my bedroom. If you look on your left, you'll notice my closet. It's quite deep, but also quite narrow. I added three rows of shelves to make more space for the lack of room I had for a dresser. On the right is my command center. It houses my iMac, my laptop, and my television. The television is hooked up to my Xbox 360 and Playstation 2. The lapto is hooked to the monitor on the left, and the iMac is ready to share the screen on the left, in the event that I find myself doing video or Photoshop work. That happens a lot, actually. If you turn all the way around, you have the rest of my room.
Now I know it is quite small, but it gets the job done. My room has just enough space for my command center, my bed, and my piano. Consequently, someone stole my power supply and sustain pedal, so I haven't tickled the ivories in ages. Unfortunate. I painted the shelves blue and red, which makes no sense, but it's okay. I like it the way it is. And there you have it, that's my room. Now if you make your way out the door, you'll find yourself in the hallway.
Right now you are looking down the hallway towards Matt's room and Campbell Street. If you turn around, you'll have this lovely view.
This is the view down the hall the other way. Shane's room is at the end, and just to the left of his room is my bathroom. Let's journey there. Are we having a nice time?
This is my bathroom. It's pretty standard, and has a shower, a sink, and a toilet, which is off to your left. Maria Sharapova spends her days on the wall in my bathroom as well. That's it for the upstairs part of the tour. I'm sorry we can't tour Matt and Shane's room today, but for the sake of privacy, I'll say that their rooms are larger. I got a bathroom to myself out of the deal, which I would not trade for a bigger bedroom. And now we'll turn around and hike down Mount Everest, our staircase.Behold, Mount Everest. Only the strong survive the journey up and back. It has taken six lives so far, and many who attempt to make the trip return to base camp in need of hot chocolate. Mount Everest is also patrolled by the best Southern Dog Pup from the South, Harley.
Ready? Let's go.
This is our living room, also known as "base camp." It houses our DLP TV, another Xbox 360, satellite, a Nintendo 64, and a full 5.1 surround sound setup. All computers in the house can also connect to the receiver to play music through the surround sound. There is ample room to hang out at base camp, with two couches, a recliner, a cushy reading chair, and a papasan. The experience at base camp is second-to-none. Now, moving on, we'll walk to the back of base camp and gaze upon the entire bottom floor.
From this view, you can see Mount Everest on your right. To the left of that is the hallway, leading to the kitchen. Inside the hallway is a closet which houses our bikes, a bathroom, and a separate area for men only.
This is the "man closet," which houses all of our non-bike related tools, bits and pieces of hardware, and anything else fitness and man related. On the right, you'll notice a punching bag, installed by my roommate Shane. This is where any aggression is taken out. There is a lot of punching that happens in this house. Now let's turn around and head towards the end of our tour, the kitchen.
On the left is our pantry. With enough space to hold even the biggest of people's food, it easily accommodates anything out heart could desire. Talk of having a cow in the house is underway. Naturally, as shortest person in the house, I get the bottom shelf. Shane gets the middle, while the Ginger Giant, Matt, gets dibs on the top shelf. Let's turn right.
This is the back of the kitchen, and also the back of the apartment. It houses a dishwasher that is constantly full, a mini-fridge, and an oven/range. Just recently installed were the bars which hold pots and pans, a lifesaver when you have three of everything. Turning right one more time, we have our last view of the apartment.
This is the home of Harley, the Southern Dog Pup from the South. She sometimes sleeps in here, and takes her meals from those two lovely blue bowls. I considered having bowls made of gold, but the metal's considerably low melting point prohibited that, due to Harley's hot puppy breath. There is a back door just to the right, which is where you can make your exit if you have no further questions.Thank you and have a wonderful day!
And I'm back. In other news, we're now three weeks into the semester, and I've found myself swamped with work nearly every day. I have enough time to do it, and it's been fun, but it's tough to learn Photoshop on the fly. I'm getting the hang of it, but my stuff still isn't that great. Next post will be the Brian Horne Gallery of Semi-Sensible Photoshop Works. Also, I landed a job at Best Buy, which means all three housemates will be working at the same location. Fun. I have class in an hour and a half, so I'm going to do a few things to prepare myself for a three hour marathon of experimental films. Wish me luck. Back later tonight with the gallery.
