Please discuss the following pictures of my apartment

Apartment Pics (http://www.bdids.com/images/Apartment/)

To answer the question you're already asking, two chairs that annoyed me by being in the middle of the room and disorderly were photoshopped out of living room 2 pic.

[nolanfan34]

What are the trophies on top of the bookcase from?

[LALDAAS]

Marble Run awsome! Time for some new furniture.

[lucas9000]

what is that marble run thing?

Skilfully done.

I like the kitchen from the angle seen in kitchen2. Your marble run is cool for about 5 seconds and then I think it's pretty lame. If nothing else, please get new cushions on the "love seat".

Appreciate the washer dryer pic.

[augie00]

Here's some comments:

1. Your washer/dryer setup is economical and cool looking.
2. The marble run on your fridge is awesome. I'm totally doing that when I get an apartment.
3. Your entertainment center is hilarious. You have a ton of recievers and speakers on top of this little ol' TV stand; reminds me of me, I have a shitload of awesome stuff inside my little ass dorm room.
4. Aren't new apartments fun? I'm totally jealous of all my friends who have their own apartment.
5. Sweet computer setup. However, I would have somehow positioned my computer so that I could compute and watch TV at the same time.
6. Your kitchen is awesome, but only because you have two 5ths of Bombay instead of one.

Cool apartment!

[Shajen]

Looks like every apartment ever. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Like the marble run thing, and the Bombay Sapphire.

Computer setup is nice though.

I think everyone has owned that tv at one time or another.

New couches bro. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

The place is clean though. I mean, really clean for a college-aged dude.

All in all, not too shabby dude. Wait til you get a house. Then it's ON.

[sfer]

Not enough books.

Also, your computer is on some sort of small platform and you apparently have a thing of PAM in your kitchen. You have some explaining to do.

[turnipmonster]

marble run is fantastic. carpeted floors are lame, but whaddyagonnado?

I would get some new bookshelves.

[B Dids]

Bowling.

Marble Run (http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=514). I think it's pretty neat. It stays out of the way more than you'd think.

[B Dids]

The TV stand turns so I can watch TV while on the computer.

[B Dids]

The books are in the bookshelves which you don't get a great view of, but yeah, if only I actually read stuff.

There is nothing wrong with PAM.

[turnipmonster]

dude PAM rocks, in fact I need to get a new can I just ran out yesterday after making granola. since you eat out at fancy restaurants every night you maybe don't truly appreciate the wonders of PAM and its nonstick action for all types of baking /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

[astroglide]

pam is awesome. 0 calories too.

[beerbandit]

my loton is next to my bed, not on the sink


looks pretty clean --- you live there by yourself?


bombay sapphire, im thirsty now --- with tonic right


what the hell is that on the fridge -- i can guess but am not sure



cheers

Last night I got noodles from Mee's. $5 well spent and PAM free, but certainly not lacking grease.

I think a challenge is in order. Step #1: we improve your poker game #2 we set aside portion of poker winnings into an apartment upgrade budget #3 unfat urself pls #4 now that you are thin, rich, and have a nice apartment, you can start posting pics of chicks that you bang.
You got any sort of upgrade budget right now?

[mmbt0ne]

Your walls are boring. Buy a Spicy.

[sfer]

Fine. Rationale for the computer platform?

[B Dids]

A- yes I live by myself (btw- not college aged actually, 28)

B- this is an upgrade from the last place, a big one. The next upgrade from this is probably into a condo, which requires more than just poker winnings.

[B Dids]

Oddly- all the pictures and art didn't show, but they're not blank. I have more art that's in my office at work that will be coming home.

SFer- the platform is there because a full scale desk would take up a ton of space and is more than I need. I like the platform a lot /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

[LALDAAS]

This thread makes me want to have my apartment graded.

[Number4]

I love the marble run. Definitely need some new cushions for the couch. Also, while there are some cool things on the walls (I think that is a mask to the right of your computer desk), don't be afraid to put some cools pics, etc. up - especially in the bedroom.
Lastly, how in the world is your place that clean?

[astroglide]

this is a great idea paluka

[turnipmonster]

field trip to bagel place for lunch?

[sfer]

Tomorrow? I'm slammed today. Any other NYers want to go to Esa Bagel tomorrow?

[B Dids]

My place is that clean because I cleaned it right before taking the pictures.

That said, it's never that messy. Everything has it's place.

[turnipmonster]

tomorrow is fine. for some odd reason I didn't realize by Esa you meant Ess-A-Bagel, I used to live near there and have been there before actually. still want to go there for lunch because that place rocks, I think that Essa vs. H&H is too close to call, although the bagels are quite different.

[Shajen]

wow man, no idea you were 28. You look a lot younger in that pic that was floating around here.

[B Dids]

I think I'm 25 in that pic.

We use pam to spray the funnel of our beer bong, it eliminates foam sooooooooo fast.

Oh and I hear it works good for cooking too.

Yeah, when I said upgrade I meant furniture/artwork/paint/electronics...You don't need a new place, just new stuff.

[B Dids]

Yes.

New loveseat/couch is in the works.

The blonde bookshelf looking thing is a remnant of my old computer desk and will eventually go. The other two bookshelfs are kinda low rent, but low on the list of stuff to be replaced.

The dresser in the bed room needs to be put out of it's mercy, but it's functional right now.

All the electronics, save the TV, are pretty nice. It's a tossup between the couch and the TV or a laptop as to what I replace next.

[DMBFan23]

dispelling the PAM myth...

apparently they base that on a certain spritz duration which has enough calories (like 1/3 of a calorie or something) where they can round it down to zero. if you spray for like 5 seconds, you're getting some calories.

not that 15 calories of PAM matters when you're about to fry up some eggs in that PAM, but just FYI /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Bookshelves are basically the only thing that one should purchase at IKEA once they are out of college. I think you could upgrade all of them to something that matches and looks pretty good for pretty cheap. Couch looks like it needs to be replaced before TV, especially because this space doesn't look like it could really handle a big TV upgrade.

my gf has some really nice casual leather couches from there, bed, dresser, mirror, etc. i think it's still a fair place to shop.

After everything I got for this new place (TV Stand, bed, computer desk) if I see another alan wrench in the next year, I may kill.

as for the apt....im a girl...so id critique it too much /images/graemlins/frown.gif and its a new place for u so congrats!!

[chaas4747]

I think it has, but it is not a good idea. Why would I put a picture of myself up that someone is going to photoshop, but woman's underpant and a bra on me, and write PWN3D across the top. Or even worse throw my ass in the hot tub.

[TimM]

I am jealous of the washer/dryer being in the apartment instead of coin op units in the basement, and the dishwasher, which I don't have at all. Also, all of your kitchen cabinets and bathroom fixtures are much newer than mine, and you probably don't have the main Long Island Railroad line (or Seattle equivalent) passing 50 feet from your bedroom window.

Edit: Now tell me you pay less than me. I am at 1050/mo.

One of the guys that works the counter loves to talk to little kids. You might get a free bagel.

I know he answered this, but it is painfully obvious from the pictures that he lives there by himself.

Is it strange that I think the only thing in the pictures that expresses any personality whatsoever is the computer setup, with the marble thing being a distant second?

[B Dids]

My last apartment had personality. It was small, horrible and didn't have an in-unit washer and dryer. [censored] personality.

I think personality is very important. I think painting the ugly white walls and putting some cool stuff on the walls would be a good start.

Keep your vodka in the freezer.

No, but I want my apartment graded.

I do think we need to do one of those New York, drunk, ear, poker things sometime.

Nice crib dids, congrats.

[SpicyF]

I think a a LCD or plasma on the wall would do greatly for dids apartment, in terms of spacious. Also hide away those amp
's and [censored]. Couch should go yes, but in the meantime i think some nice blanket or whatever to throw over it would do wonders.

[Shajen]

Not to mention some SpicyF art on the walls.

Might I suggest Happy Bird for lightning up the place?

(I'm serious)

[B Dids]

I honestly have art, it just managed to not be in most of the pics.

I would love Happy Bird, obviously.

'Dids-

You should try this photoshop tutorial (http://www.good-tutorials.com/track/8358) to give yourself a see-through monitor. It would look cool with your setup.
