VLOG: Parisian Apartment Diaries, part 2

by Sweeney on November 18, 2011

As research paper writing begins to consume my soul, my will to actually type things for this blog is waning. Instead, I spend free time I don’t have tinkering with the layout and recording silly videos. (Admittedly, I’m a little giddy about the product of the layout changes.)

Today I bring you a brief look at my (new-ish) tiny apartment, some talk about toilets, and little bit of a guilt trip.

And as mentioned in the video, you should go to toiletday.org to find out more information.

    Yay to a toilet in your apartment! You’ve definitely moved up in the world! ;)

    Also? I didn’t realise how much I’ve been pining for the awesomeness that was Chicago until I watched this. I miss you so hard <3

      It’s a pretty serious life upgrade. I MISS YOU TOO. COME TO PARIS. WE’LL EAT MACARONS.

        Uh, YES. Incidentally, I *made* macarons the other day. They didn’t look quite right, but they tasted AWESOME.

          We can visit macaron shops and seek advice on how to perfect the art.

    It’s science. haha. Yeah, towel drier thing is a guilty pleasure around here. I’m rebeca black excited to be sharing my birthday with the talk shit hash tag. I’ve been inspired to hide all the TP before the party to raise awareness…..Somebody gunna get pregnant.

      Some day I will record a video explaining this science…

      I’M WAY EXCITED FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY.  I’ll bring my own TP.  I am going to be way on the late side because we’re doing this Thanksgiving dinner thing, but I’ll be there before midnight so fingers crossed I get to see you before you get blackout.
      + I am baking more of those pumpkin cookies for this dinner and I will set some aside for you.  Just for you, not like.. other people, because I can’t afford to buy that many cans of pumpkin.

      This is true.

    see! I can totally fit in the kitchen. me and my sleeping bag…and i can make toasted bread and cheese whilst I slumber. No I promise not to do that. Also can I please have a semi guilt trip for a. sending mail! but b. forgetting a picture

      Sara, the reason I investigated collapsing the futon in the first place was so that I could make sure you would have a place to sleep :)

      And no guilt trip for you; you sent me mail!  No guilt trip for people who send mail.

    I totally laughed at the kitchen – I live in a tiny shoebox apartment too and ALSO have a toaster oven sitting on top of the microwave because there’s no counter space!! Gotta love these big city studios ;)

      We do what we have to do… Serious life lessons in economy – not just penny pinching,  but economy of space too – from living like this. :)

    I can’t believe it took me this long to watch this video, but it’s so cute! I like your guilt trip. I almost wanted to photoshop some pictures of us together to send to you, I felt so bad.
