I've often felt my life provided ample evidence in support of the theory that most men feel a need to have a "cave," or some space all their own that doesn't have to be pretty or even remotely presentable. I've kept up that tradition pretty well, but it's definitely time to make it a small part of an otherwise sane and orderly Apartment of Platitudes.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02728223817801458234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156356070860079785.post-54126003704989682732007-05-11T11:14:00.000-04:002007-05-11T11:14:00.000-04:00So what you're saying is, you need to find some ba...So what you're saying is, you need to find some balance between a fortress of solitude and a batcave. You want a safe-haven where you can recuperate from your struggles in Metropolis and you need a laboratory that inspires and recharges you, sending you out into your day to tackle the theatrical ne'er-do-wells of Gotham City. <BR/>Okay so the analogy doesn't exactly work, the two locations are more alike than they are different for those two fellas, but I was too pleased with myself in coming up with the analogy not to share it with you. More to the point, I know just what you mean about needing a place that both soothes and motivates. I do think it's possible. In fact thinking so has me re-examining my surroundings to tweak them in these directions. I don't know how easy it is to do in a studio, but having the luxury of separate rooms means I can shape them for different purposes. For the record, my housing experiences in Seattle definitely was a breeze compared to here. You went out, looked at places that had 'for rent' signs posted, you wrote down the phone numbers, met with the landlords, and you rented a place. I know people who managed to do this in one day. The longest it ever took me was a week. New York is somethin' else.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556860299477514075noreply@blogger.com
