Arctangential

So I moved into my new place.

I guess I actually forgot to mention that.

But yeah, it’s nice. It’s big and I have it basically all set up now. In fact, the only things I don’t have now are the things that I didn’t have in my old place either, but now I actually have a place to put them, so their missingness is much more pronounced than it was. The main things I’m missing right now are: A kettle, a microwave, a workbench and a place to keep my pots & pans. I would just go out and buy these things, but since the move, money is pretty tight. In fact, I meant to reward myself for getting my place all set up by buying myself one of these, but I didn’t even do that. I should have more money next month, as I get more and more credit card bills paid off, but it’s kind of a pain right now. I actually had to heat water for tea in a small pot. Which had been sitting on the floor.

Actually, the main thing I really want for this new place, that I can’t find anywhere, are curtains. The new place has a lot more windows than my old place does, so I need to get a few more curtains to finish covering the leftover windows. However, it’s incredibly difficult for me to find the kind of curtains that I want. I remember it being difficult when I moved into my old place, but somehow I managed to find them then. This time, though, I can’t find them anywhere.

All I want are plain black square curtains. I don’t want lace, valances, ruffles, tab-tops, velvet or sheer. Just regular plain black curtains. As far as I can tell, they don’t exist. Does anybody know where I can get some? Actually, I know a few people who read this know how to sew — if anybody would be willing to make me some curtains, I would be more than happy to pay all costs, plus whatever you think is fair for your time. I don’t really know what’s involved in making curtains, but I would assume it’s just a matter of doing a few hems and making a lil’ pocket for the curtain rod.

That’s about it though.
