Monday Expectations

I need a MEGASCANDAL on Livejournal to start my week. Everything has been so boring lately. Let the fighting begin.

My new apartment is gorgeous. Kevin and I took a few suitcases over last night filled with books and stuff. From two of the bedrooms' windows you stare directly into the canal and the barges. You can sit by the window and watch tourists board a travelling barge, or people jogging. From our bedroom (which used to be the living room), Kevin and I have the view of grey coucil skyscrappers, St George flags and a bit of green. Most important of all, nobody can stare back into our apartment. As we were sitting on the new bed our landlord bought for us (!?!) we heard the neighbours playing some reggae. Reggae drifting through the walls sounds so much better than when it's played on your stereo.

Any fights happening on Livejournal? Will I have to visitl ljdrama.org?

How much does it cost to get a sofa upholstered? The sofas left behind in our apartment are MINGING.

All I have to offer you is the fact someone randomly deleated me off their friends list for some unknown reason! Oh well, they shan't be missed!

Perhaps someone else will kick up a much better scandal later.

do it yourself for cheap. unless they reek. then you might have to actually reappolster them. I'd guess that'd cost a couple hundred a pop.

But even if they do reek, you could always try dumping a full bottle of febreeze on them and then making slip covers.

Indeed!

oh, and we have some burgundy sofas leftover from America which we want to get rid of :P

Reupholstering can be pretty expensive, and it's really only worth it if the couch is really well made. I have a 30-year-old teak couch that I had reupholstered and it was about a grand CAD. Go with a cover for starters.

In the old flat, I used to have this two-seater monstrosity in beige and moss-green check. I hated it and didn't feel it went with anything so I went to Camden, bought one of those funky batik throws and covered the offending sofa. The benefit of this is that they're easily removable, even more easily washed and when you move out, if you have to leave the sofa behind, any spills are mostly soaked up by the batik, so no cleaning bill or loss of deposit. ^_^

Best line ever.

right now there are 2 dramas i know of, one where some guy started calling a girl a hypocrite (which she is ) and fat (which i don't think she is) just to piss her off, and her attempts at trying to counteract these attacks.
the second is where this girl wrote about how she found out her ex boyfriend cheated on her with this other girl and she named the girl and then wrote something about liars and cheaters on that girls journal.
for some reason, i LOVE SEEING THIS STUFF, i think mostly cos i think these people suck and watching them get called out is funny
