Ici mon appartement!

 Here's our house. It's a 1 bedroom, 1 bath attic apartment. We love it. It has a ton of natural light and space. We aren't on top of each other even though we both do our "work" in the living room, me on the couch, Aaron at the desk. We even sit together at the table, which sounds like no biggie, but we've gotten used to doing pretty much everything separately in Brooklyn.
 Our bathroom is a little small and holy hell, the toilet is the biggest disappointment in this whole place? Why? The flusher is majorly weak. Knowing both myself and Aaron, it's not going to cut it. I'm just praying that it's him and not me that breaks it one day. It's bound to happen. We have our washer in the bathroom but the dryer is out in the hallway. Strange, but it's not shared so it's all right with me.
 We have 2 couches, one I claim to be mine and Trixie's and the other is supposedly Aaron's, though as I type now, I'm currently sitting on Aaron's and all my shit is piled up here too, which Trixie is sleeping on my perfectly clean sofa....so Trixie has one and I have one. Aaron has a desk.
 The bedroom is nice and quiet. We live on a quiet street. Again, lots of light but there's a nice shutter that makes it pretty dark at night. We don't really have a space to hang clothes up right now but the landlords said that they'd buy us something soon.
 The light and the exposed wood sold this place for me. We have a small kitchen but I don't see us doing much in there aside from feeding Trixie and preparing breakfast. We have some snacks, like Aaron's paté in a can for his mini toasts. Why does he eat that?!
 Here's the view from our bedroom. We live on Rue Commines.
 Tonight we went to see a movie, but seeing as we ran out of time for dinner (the choice was McDoh or crepes from a street cart but we had already had crepes for lunch) so we went to McDoh. Aaron got the petit mcbaguette. Can't say I was as adventurous. Iron Man Trois was very entertaining and fun to read along with. The trailers for other movies came on and the translations are literally ridiculous. Hangover 3 is called "Very Bad Night 3" and "Pitch Perfect" is now The Hit Girls. The punch lines on both movies are lost in translation.
