Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

Another reason why some Toronto landlords are asses


Was on Viewit.ca this morning, checking out west-end apartments (as we live in the east near the beaches, and Chris works in Mississauga -- a long commute, so we're considering our options).

We don't have a ton of cash, so are looking for something in the $1050 range, pref. two or more bedrooms and some kind of outdoor space (I haven't had a yard or balcony in seven or eight years -- it's killing me). Oh, and laundry.

Aside from the mess of overpriced basements (why yes, please put me in a drab, dim basement in the shittiest part of Parkdale and charge me $1150... you twat) and landlords deciding to let their tenants foot the hydro bill so they can pocket the extra money, I came across an image of a basement kitchen that made me howl with laughter. (see above)

God, some landlords in Toronto are fucking morons.

tsk, young /mmcotsg.

this represents an excellent piece of design for the modern young professional, focusing as it does or their obsession with keeping thin (hence the inaccessibility of the cooker), their penchant for ‘style’ (the must-have granite-styleee work surface), their longing for advanced ergonomic design (everything you could possibly need is within an arms reach) coupled with a certain rustic charm (the trailing wires and mismatched look so reminiscent of a bygone era…).

i love it. it’s so *me*. send me the details. i shall move in next week.
