its so cute and little.
i really grew attached.
but alas, the things i will not miss about my nyc apartment...

1. the back wall that leaks water when it rains (it has been "repaired" 4 times by the contractor)
[i think it might actually be fixed this time! we'll see]

2.the biggest cockroaches ever to live in nyc (although on hold for the minute with my extremely toxic fumigation that took place 2 months ago [i can still smell the fumes a bit when i come home] I have no doubt they will be back as soon as said fumes wear off, or I move out because said fumes are probably affixed to my personal belongings more than the walls and floor, ew)
btw, i was crossing 16th st and a cockroach was running by! i swear. it was huge.
I almost stepped on it, but good thing I saw it! Its like trying to step on a small mouse. but i just let that one run on by!!!!

3. bathroom sink the size of a popcorn bowl...

my drawing...

actual reproduction...

Ceci n'est pas un lavabo

4. windows being at ground level

5. Zero counter space...

[soon to come...things i WILL miss]

Anonymous said...: I will always remember the cockroach Laura and I exterminated during my visit to NCY.

We had 1 rubber glove each, me with an old shoe, and Laura with windex, armed for the task. It was a tag-team effort, Laura sprayed the heck out of it with glass cleaner and I smushed it. Then, Laura (without looking directly at it, mind you), pushed the crumped corpse into the trash with a paper towel and immediately took it out to the curb. There was a lot of squealing while the whole operation took place...; May 10, 2008 at 12:37 PM
