Le mini-chateau.

[angledge]

After a month of living in hotels, I was definitely sick of their bland décor, noisy guests, tardy elevators, & lack of laundry facilities.

So yesterday I moved into a studio apartment in the French Quarter (after getting back from the trip to Waveland). Without further ado, I will finish my photo spamming of your friend's page with five pictures of the interior of my new place:







There. Now you've seen it.

And this concludes our photospamming operations for today.

It's so cute....coolness.

So -when is your first studio party? :-)

So -when is your first studio party? :-)

Whenever you get down here, woman. ;-)

[hollyinpa.livejournal.com]

Oh - the utter temptation!

I guess if I am going to think about adopting a child I should probably get all this partyin' out of my system! :-)

[angledge.livejournal.com]

If you want to visit, let me know. But be advised - you will be on your own. I am working 70 hours a week. The partying I did last Saturday night was the first time I've really cut loose down here - mostly I work, work out, eat, sleep, rinse & repeat. So if you come down here, I will not be able to do much of anything other than eat dinner with you. Just FYI.

As it stands, my schedule doesn't allow for much traveling.

I will be in GA for the Christmas holidays for about a week.

I will return to PA in time to celebrate New Year's Eve with Jonatha Brooke at World Cafe Live.

I haven't thought about travel plans for '06 yet...hmmm.

Whoa.... sweet! You're living the dream of many a visitor to the Big Easy. I realize it'd be even better if the city wasn't such a mess, but still.... nice!

[angledge.livejournal.com]

I know! I consider myself extremely lucky. All hail the power of craigslist.org!

I AM TEH ENVY

[angledge.livejournal.com]

That's why I called you last night - to gloat!

That icon SUCKS!! It makes my eyes hurt!

[fizrep.livejournal.com]

It's my only way of striking out!

[effrontery.livejournal.com]

Wow, I LOVE it.

Did you furnish it, or it all came that way?

And if you don't mind my asking...how much?

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Fully furnished, of course. I'm living out of two suitcases again this year. And it costs $1,500/month (habitable post-Katrina real estate is at a premium in NOLA). But it's still much cheaper for the company than the hotel (~$6,000/month!).

[jacesan.livejournal.com]

It's also cheaper than most places you'll find in the SF Bay Area.

[thepikey.livejournal.com]

Sooo... you're saying that landlords and hoteliers that didn't get the whack are making out like frickin' bandits?

Can't say I agree w. jacesan... studio apts aren't *that* expensive out here. Not sure how much the furnished ones are tho...
*is curious about it, but not so curious as to spend the 3 minutes it would take to suss it out on craigslist*

[angledge.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure - I am not familiar with what the pre-Katrina prices around here were like. But judging by the angry commentary I saw on the NOLA craigslist, I'd say there are people who feel they are being priced out of their former neighborhoods.

[jacesan.livejournal.com]

Technically it's not gentrification, but it still sucks for the people being displaced.

Very nice

[evilfb.livejournal.com]

Great looking place Ang. You get a sence of a real place now not a hotel feel.

Re: Very nice

[angledge.livejournal.com]

It IS nice, but it's missing a few things:









There's no place like home!

[funkyplaid.livejournal.com]

Cute as all hurricane-induced hell!

[angledge.livejournal.com]

I am snug as a bug in a floodwater-soaked rug.

[-phobia.livejournal.com]

Is that a poster of a hot naked beefy man on your wall?

nifty furnishings, girl ;)

the place looks cute!

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Count on _phobia to notice the beefcake artwork! I rented this place from a gay man, who in normal times uses the studio as his French Quarter looove shack.

[seolta.livejournal.com]

Oh that so much nicer than any hotel - how lovely in fact. I hope it treats you kind!!

[kwokj.livejournal.com]

looks like you've got some high ceilings. pretty cool looking space.

[gravitygirl07.livejournal.com]

I hate to say it, but I wouldn't want to leave that place. heh.

[angledge.livejournal.com]

...I wouldn't want to leave that place.


Not even to move back to my gorgeous house in San Francisco?
