We like roses. Do you like roses?

We like roses.

Railings are for wimps.

There's a slight chance that that balcony isn't up to code.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Your subliminal tricks will not work on me! This is not the same old place that I laughed about!

You don't really have to clean, you know.

Just shove all the crap over to one side so it doesn't show in the photo. It would take five minutes, tops.

Pick a door, any door...

Is it just my vertigo acting up, or does this room defy the laws of space and time?

Eh, good enough

"What do you think -- is there anything else we could do to make the house look like it's worth half a million?"

"Nah. We're done. Take the photo and let's slap it up on the Web."

This time, it's the hat I can't explain.

What does this remind me of? Oh, right... this:

Oh dear.

What is this? Perhaps I am happier not knowing.

Nostalgia

This photo is here just because it reminds me of one of my favorite apartments back when I lived by myself. It, too, was pink. One previous residen, a friend of mine, had painted it all pink. This pink. Bright pink. All of it.

The bathroom was kind of cool -- although it was pink, it also had a bunch of "Mr. Lucky" cats stenciled on the walls.

The tenant who lived there after the pink painter and before me got all obsessive and painted over all the pink, painting around the Mr. Luckys -- so I got to have a nice white and green bathroom, with black kitty cats.

There's a slight chance that the kitchen needs work.

That could be a pretty stove if it were restored, though. I'm guessing it's an antique 60" O'Keefe & Merritt, although I don't know if they did hinged covers like those ones.

Half a million bucks...

...and all this could be yours.

That'll keep the nosy neighbors from spying on you.

"No kitchen, no bath," no view.

Decisions, decisions

"Hey, should we kick the garbage out of the corner before I take the photo? It would only take a second."

"Nah. We're only asking $539,900. Nobody expects clean floors for half a million."

Sometimes you need a snack. Or some music.

It's a kitchen-bath-living room! Although actually it isn't, because the listing says the place has one bathroom and I presume this is it:



...so I don't know what that room is for. And I think I'm happier that way.
