I thought I would post a few pictures of my humble abode. I am now situated in a nice little studio, close to the subway and a supermarket. I have a nice little bathroom, kitchenette, and internet. Overall I am very happy. I very much enjoy living simply and with few possessions. Although I have avoided buying anything significant here for my place in the event I will most likely leave it all behind, I am considering buying a small coffee maker. My friend Blair found a decent thermos source, so I might have to bite the bullet. It is a very reasonable price so I will probably spring for one as soon as I buy a thermos. The only probably with my studio is the rapid growth of the frost in my fridge. I have checked the seal and what not, however, it shows no signs of stopping and will likely require a monthly defrosting. 
One interesting element of my place is the blackout shutters. It seems that in France they often use shutters instead of curtains. So, instead of some crappy vinyl curtain (e.g. my blinds in Tucson), I have industrial metal roll down shutters, the type used by businesses when that are shut. The best thing is that the room becomes black…I am talking cave level black. It is excellent…
I am also very happy to have speedy (usually) internet. This makes it easy to keep in touch with Brittany, download TV from the States, and of course, play poker. The only problem is that Blogger seems to be blocked, so I am forced to wait until I get to school to post my writings.
I am sure I will get used to living here, in time to leave in four months, but I guess that is okay. After all, home is where my Brittany and kitties are, so this is just my home away from home.
