The House

So yesterday when I was out at The House¹ I took some photos. Here they are, just for you guys, because I love you. Click on each photo for more witty commentary, because I couldn’t be arsed typing it all out twice.

So anyway, as you can see; when they say the house is in ‘original condition’ they’re not kidding. Nevertheless, we saw a lot of dives on our house-hunt and this place definitely isn’t it. It needs doing up, but the actual house underneath the neglect is good. A new coat of paint, some new doorknobs, taps, curtains and lights, a re-polish of the floor and new carpet upstairs and we’ve got ourselves our hyper-modern McMansion. Well, mostly. It’s actually kind of ironic that the colour scheme that the designer has come up with is pretty much identical to what’s there already, only… the modern version; dark brown carpets, white walls picked out with green, frosted glass and brushed chrome. Sure, it’ll look dated in ten years but, well, so will everything.

It’ll also be hard work. Oh well; it’s like exercise, only incidental.

In other news, the batPod arrived yesterday and it totally kicks the shit out of everything.

Also, this song makes me feel old. When I was down in Melbourne I was watching some videoclips show on the community access channel. One of the presenters mentioned it, but got both the name and the band wrong (hint: it’s not called “the mammal song”). Which of course made me feel immediately ancient since I can remember the time when it was a chart hit with airplay every five minutes. It wasn’t that long ago, surely?

Shit.

1. Technically a townhouse, but bear with me. ^
