Things I like about the New House

1. No elephants trampling about upstairs and moving cinderblocks and 50 gallon barrels at 7:00 a.m.
2. My next door neighbors are also Burners. Only 117 more days ’till the Man burns!
3. The landlord owns a very cool Gay bar and there’s a chance for a piano gig at the end of the proverbial rainbow. Miss R started out her professional career playing piano in the Long Beach Gay bars. It would be a nice full circle kind of touch doncha think?
4. There’s a patio that DOESN’T resemble Little Tijuana in the slightest. I even have a patch of dirt (I shall command it to be grass soon) of my very own.
5. The neighbor’s cat gives Lizzie Borden something to obsess on during her lazy days perched in the window.
6. There’s room for a grand piano in this place!
7. The windows are strategically placed for maximum sunshine in the mornings. It does a morose and misanthropic soul good with a cup of fresh coffee.
8. I can play Ziggy Stardust at Maximum Volume as per directed on the album cover. There’s also room to dance around in a scantily clad manner given my mood.
9. No one takes my parking space. It’s mine all mine I tell you!
10. My 1930’s and 40’s antique pieces go perfectly in this old cottage. Much funkiness is to be had despite the lack of closet space and noticeable lack of electrical outlets.

Things I Miss About the Old Place
