My parents have just picked up the keys to my new place in Vancouver, which is in the Woodwards redevelopment on West Cordova. The irony that I will basically be living in a department store will not be lost on anyone who knows me, including me.
Things I am looking forward to in the new place:
1. Having a dishwasher for the first time in my adult life (yesss).
2. Having a spare room for guests to sleep in, instead of my living room.
3. 5 minute walk (seriously) to work. Yes, I know this might also be considered a fail, but as this means I won't have to get out of bed until 30 minutes before I should be sitting at my desk, I'm going to go with another "yessss."
4. Rooftop terrace with BBQ and "W" shaped hot tub (seriously), as well as gym and movie screening room.
5. Stumbling distance from Salt Tasting Room and the Irish Heather.
6. 5 minute walk from John Fluevog in case of shoe-mergency.
7. 5 minute walk from the Old Spaghetti Factory, site of Annie and I's semi-annual "let's drink ourselves sick on cheap wine extravaganza." (Note: not recommended for non-drinkers, like Annie and I. It gets messy).
8. Being near to those who are dear.
During the Olympics, my place will be considered a prime location, so if anyone would like to sleep in my guest room for the duration of the games, it's yours for the low, low price of $3000.
And for that, I'll throw in breakfast (make it yourself, sorry, I'll be at work) and a cat (well, mostly her hair...all over your stuff). I'm also renting out my storage closet (it'll fit an inflatable bed) for $1000.
I think it's a deal. Spread the word.
