Virtual Reality

Dealing with the fact that I have to plan furnishing arrangements in my apartment while living 132 miles away hasn't been easy. But in this day and age, there's always virtual reality! With help from my trusty 2010 & 2011 IKEA catalogues (basically porn for furniture... better than a playboy any day I'd say) and the 3D room designer on MyDeco.com, I was able to design every room in my apartment. Three cheers for technology! Unfortunately, virtual design is an inadequate substitute for the real thing. Oh Santa Barbara... how I long to wander your streets, witness your crazy and wild inhabitants, and feel your cool ocean breeze on my face. There really is no place like home.

Alec / Anthony's Bedroom

Once I am finally reunited with my home for the next year, I shall post IRL photos. There are a few surprise features, not seen in the virtual photos, that I'm pretty excited about! :) My beloved roommates, Alec and Anthony, have already moved in. I am thoroughly jealous. Hopefully I'll be making a much-needed visit up to good ol' sbeezy this weekend. Fingers crossed!
