cha cha changes

few people are aware of one of my most amazing talents. i am a human sound track. i can, without conscious thought, come up with a song to compliment almost any situation.

cha cha changes, indeed. after many months of using our TV as a computer monitor, john and i decided it was time to set up a real work station. i won't lie; all my whining about not being able to play the sims while john watched football on saturdays (and, sometimes, sundays) may have had something to do with it.

so here it is. jay desk from westelm, in acorn, with sweet 19" wide screen monitor wall mounted above. the monitor can swivel out, so i can show anyone in the living room the awesome shit i just found on ebay. the desk has an extension that rolls out from underneath, doubling the workspace! wow, cool!

what i did not include in this post is a picture of the massive pile of packing material we were left with. sorry, the environment. i try very hard not to litter you up with trash by bringing my own bags to the market, and hardly ever buying bottled water. please forgive me this one.

check out the new house plant


it's gigantic, and that's why i love it. we've had this beauty for going on a month now--it was a "spruce up the apartment for the new year" idea. i did some research and found a species that doesn't mind low light: Warneckii dracaena.
