A Party Dress and a Magic Flute

Here's rather a silly picture of me, for those who requested to see my Christmas party/Opera dress. I think it's raaaaather elegant!

I've made a discovery about my apartment building. You know in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" when they have outside shots of Holly's apartment building there is often the sound of someone practicing scales on the piano? Well when I come home and am making dinner every night, there is the sound of someone practicing the flute! My sink carries noise really well, you see, so I don't know where this person is, but I can hear them practicing. It's fairly charming, since my apartment is sort of Breakfast at Tiffany's era, but not as nice... I don't have a bathtub for a couch, after all :(

I think that's it for now? What's new with all y'all?

Oooh, Nice!

It's been pretty foggy, so I couldn't get a good shot of the view from my balcony. But the fog has lifted! So here you go! Nice, huh? Downtown-ey!

Love,

Gillian

Song of the Month for November and MOVING!

"Sun in an Empty Room" by Edward Hopper

Goodness, where on earth have I been? Well things have been busy and I spent this weekend moving into my new apartment. Ooooh. And baby? It ain't glamorous! Avocado Green appliances and all... But it's "home"... for now ;)

It is so nice to be back in familiar territory, close to downtown, close to work, closer to people I know. Life being as it is, some new issues have come up and things may be changing again, soon. But for now? Well, I made a little slideshow to show you my new digs and document the move.

The pictures in the slideshow are set to the song "Sun in an Empty Room" by The Weakerthans. It's a song about moving, so it just HAD to be the song of the month. The song is based on the painting "Sun in an Empty Room" by Edward Hopper (as seen above.) Hmm. Looks familiar!

Enjoy :)
