Feeling Good: New Apartment
(Play this song while reading to enhance effect)
Since deciding to move out of Beto’s, Nicolas and I found a new apartment. We signed that weekend and I just moved in today. The apartment is CLASSIC: four-bedrooms with three bathrooms. The building’s on a guarded street off Avenida Ejercito in Cayma. Cayma is the upscale part of Arequipa.
I have the huge master bedroom. The main bathroom is long with imitation marble-tile floor and walls with a shower and bathtub! Before the three main bedrooms and bathroom is the dining room, furnished with a long table which seats eight and a china shelving unit (should I know what those are called?). Before the dining room is the kitchen, which features a bar. To one side of the kitchen is a bathroom and La Gran Sala, our long, empty living room which will serve as the dance-floor for parties. Down the other side is a laundry room with two deep sinks, after which is the fourth bedroom and third bathroom.
The new neighborhood is just as central and maybe even more convenient. I’ll miss living downtown in walking distance of the bars and my gym. However, my new place is 1 – 2 blocks from a grocery store, my bank, a laundry service, a casino, a brothel, the only commercial shopping mall and cinema in town, and more. All these places were at least a ten minute jog from my other apartment.
I have never been this excited about a new place in a long time. While I’ve loved some old domeciles (namely my nasty U City studio and my Capitol Hill apartment with Anne-Marie), I haven’t been this excited in years. If an apartment of mine was ever nice, I was living with Annie and knew that there wouldn’t be any wild parties. If I was living without her, the apartment was nasty. This apartment is huge, posh, and I’ll be living with two other young bachelors to throw killer parties with.
FEELING GOOD!!!
