view from flat



official flat specs :: version 001
flatmates :: three kiwis
subgenre :: two lawyers, one surveyor
location :: top street of mount, overlooking downtown [5 min walk to
start of city, 5 min walk to huge park at summit]
bedrooms :: 3
baths :: 2
flat bonding activities :: potluck with 7 kiwi friends, movie night,
game nigh [twice], a "transportation themed party" where i went as a
cardboard box with stamp and address.
room details :: see attached narrative

i live in a diningroom with glass windows and curtains, surrounded by
good will furniture. but i open the curtains (while they're at work or
after 10pm bedtime) and i get this spectacular view (click for a big
version--it's ha'awsome). officially my room overlooks the livingroom
(where i monitor the kiwis in their natural environment), but the
livingroom is entirely windows so i have this view for all practical
purposes. i love it at night. the view is one reason i chose the flat.
the other was sam's copy of "risk." (sam has become infatuated with san
juan, but i'm going to make him try another american game next time we
play so he doesn't burn out).

The view looks fantastic! I hope you're taking notes on the natural behavior of your kiwi flatmates. Perhaps you could play Stratego on the next game night?

Nice view, man. But you forgot to tell about the really important house specs: what kind of internet access do you guys have?

stratego night is on the docket... but they are too fascinated with my "new american games"

no internet, but i signed them up for broadband (arriving in 5-10 business days). it's about 1meg/sec, but metered (2GB/month download limit.... $30/month price.... an additional 3GB/month block costs $5)

1 megabyte a second? Not bad. Ours seems to hover around .3 megabytes a second, which is plenty fast for what we do. Metered is kind of a bummer, but what can ya do?
