Today Adam, Jen, Devaki, and Jan helped me move my furniture from storage into the new apartment. 1/3 of the move is complete.

While I sat on the floor assembling my new cocktail and side tables, I realized that the new place was definitely growing on me. It all goes together quite well, and I think I’ll like it there.

Even the naughty and lascivious two person shower has a certain charm to it!

Since I know you’ve all been waiting for pictures, you can find them after the jump.

Well, I have my keys, and its all mine now. The move is starting from my current place and my storage shed this weekend.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a picture of the dual shower. There were some creepy guys in my bathroom installing enormous wall mirrors. So now I have a two-person shower surrounded by mirrors… oh it just keeps getting weirder.

There are some photos of the rest of the place to tide you over after the jump:

So I’ve done a walkthrough of my new apartmnet, and I’ve been told that I can move in as soon as next week. The apartment is finished, but the rest of the building is not at all. You have to walk across boards over unpaved walkways, down stairs with no railings, under balconies being finished, and around large piles of materials.

The apartment itself is great. I’m afraid that I will not be able to fit all of my furniture, but I figured as much when I bought it all. The apartment is one of the largest they have, and the largest that is scheduled to be finished before June so I’ll have to make do.

The one thing it does have that I wasn’t expecting at all is a 2 person shower. They told me up front that it would have two showerheads, and I pictured something like a single person shower with multiple streams of water. but when I arrived and saw what looked a bit like a shower at the gym, I turned to my landlady and gave her a dirty look. She seemed amused! I bet there are cameras in there too.

When I get back over there with my camera, you can all see some pictures. That link above doesn’t do the "double shower" idea justice… especially since they cut the right side off.

I’ve added a bit of a countdown list for my own usage after the break.

The Onion predicted it all long ago.

Gillette has created a razor with 5 blades… 6 if you count the one of the back that they had to add because you can’t shave a mustache with a razor bigger than your upper lip.

Its all part of America’s insatiable thirst for more.

Which is why I’ll be picking up one of these razors, a King sized beverage, a PowerMac Quad G5 and my new 2 bedroom apartment.

I finally have confirmation of my new apartment.

Date for move-in is scheduled for March 1st.

I still have to work out all of my moving issues, changes of address, setting up utilities, etc. I have to move from 3 different places into this apartment. My bedroom is in Douglassville, my living room is in a storage shed in Poughkeepsie, and my computer and clothes are here in my current apartment.

I will post more information as I get it, so stay tuned.
