I've Got a New Apartment, Baby

This brilliant gif was created for me by the extremely talented Lui, who in addition to being a fabulous friend, is also a brilliant graphic artist. She wanted to do something to celebrate my new apartment and sent me this in my mail one day. Needless to say, I was dumbfounded and sat staring at it for a good five minutes with a huge grin on my face, before making all the rest of my team look at it and pretend to appreciate it as well :p

Bonus points to anyone who knows who the three leaping lads are, and why Lui picked them for me?

And to answer B's question - I am going to rent out the place at the moment - the current owners will live in it until they find a new house and then I will rent it out. I will live in it, when I eventually return home, but for now - it is just helping me pay the mortgage.

Here are some pics of my new pad...

Capitalist Land Owning Pig

The title of this entry comes from the title of an email my great friend Clare sent me a few years ago when she and her husband bought a house! I thought it was great, so am stealing it. Hope she hadn't copyrighted it!!

I forgot the most exciting thing! I am a homeowner!!!

As of Tuesday, I own (pending the processing of about a million forms!), a two bedroom apartment in Richmond, Melbourne! I am sooooooooooo excited about this - I have been looking for so long and missed out at quite a few auctions so it is great to have found something. My brilliant father has negotiated it all for me and apparently it is just superb, with views of the river and the city, and an amazing designer kitchen. I can't wait to see it.
