total randomness

[gloraelin]

So like, it's 4:10 in the morning. I'm on break at work and trying to stay awake [why yes, officer, it's my first time doing night shift work, why do you ask?] and so I thought I'd make a random post here.

I think I found an apartment, it's a great community and the price is decent for the space [and the time I'll save driving to work every day], and I hear back tomorrow about all that 'approval' crap. Which reminds me, I do realize that there's a reason for them to do a credit check on applicants, to make sure they can pay their rent every month, but man, why on earth do they need to know my DL number, my height, weight, hair color and eye color? ! Jeeze I hate this.

I also came up with a way to decorate well and stuff and also save a fair amount of timie and money at the same time - instead of painting, just buy fabric, hem it, and hang it like curtains or something! It also seems a good way to get really neat effects without having to worry about all the painting techniques.

Where was I? Oh. Yeah. I mentioned how much I'll save time-wise driving .... about 30 mins. I can't wait.

Actually, having looked into draping the walls with swaths of fabric, it costs quite a lot for enough yardage in beautiful cloths to adequately cover the walls. But it's a gorgeous effect, and I'd love to know how if you're able to do it on the cheap.

I was actually thinking more of a curtain look, with pictures as the 'windows,' rather than just swaths of fabric. But we'll see, I have to look at styles and prices, as well as other stuff too.

I also don't have a *clue* what I'm doing for colors. I've got curtains I'm using already [silver!] plus a MovieSac in a nice blue, and I can't think of anything else to go with them, unfortunately.
