Poor Man In A Rich Man's World

I'm starting to think that I should just write frequently write little happenings instead of trying to come up with stories all the time. Day to day, there's very little exciting going on. I don't work, or really have any friends, so I mostly sit around and watch movies of episodes of Flying Circus on my lap top. Still there's been some development, and one exciting day since I last published.

There's no loft, no 15 foot ceilings, no massive window, no video intercom, and most importantly, no sexy talking doors. Just a small basic apartment in an expensive part of town where I will see movie stars that I will not recognize. Perhaps though, this could be where I meet Natalie Portman. It better be for $800/month!

Though not as spectacular as the Great Wall of China, the wall is pretty neat. As they say, pictures tell more than words:
