I've Moved! Check it.
From the southside near the bay I have moved up to the northside, where the rent is cheap. Here are a few pictures of my place. I live with two friends (whom I met only when moving in.) Ross is a teacher like myself (though he teaches Math and Physics), and Sam is about to start a job teaching kindergarden kids. So far it has been a real treat living with them. The amazing house helps.

Bedroom
Only slightly smaller than my entire previous place, my room is packed with a lot of music at the moment. The piano is an extra nice touch... I'm renting it for fairly cheap and the practicing has been wonderful. |
Lounge Room
This picture is taken from my bedroom doorway. It might be a problem if I were to try to be sleeping while my flatmates had guests, however, I am usually up for 3 hours later than they are... I suspect that it won't be an issue. |

My AMAZING Kitchen
The shear size of the kitchen makes the house worthwhile. It is where we hang out when not doing anything important (as opposed to the lounge room), and it can support large groups of people all eating at once. There is a couch in this kitchen as well, to the right behind the camera. |
Sun Room
This room heads out from the kitchen to the backyard (wait'll you see the backyard!) and until the other day it was used for storage. Sam and I cleaned it all out and put an extra couch there (the house now has a total 4 couches and 4 lounge chairs... far too much sitting room) and there is even a beer fridge should I win the lotto and become able to afford beer.

The Big Kahuna, My Backyard
There is so much room here that I don't know what to do with it... I'm going to be planting some tomatoes but that's about it. In the very back there is a small pond with live Koi, as well as a flush outhouse. That will be perfect for parties. Actually, the whole backyard will be perfect for parties and barbies. That with all our couches and the oversized kitchen and the sun room, this house was more-or-less designed for parties. No parties planned in the immediate future, however. The yellow things on the post in the middle of the yard is "totem tennis", which is basically a tennis ball on a string in which two people hit back and forth. It's fun for about 3 minutes. |
My Old Place
'Cause I'm too lazy to take down the pic.
