]]> Comment on Just how many matchboxes does it take? by Camden Luxford http://bearshapedsphere.com/2008/08/29/just-how-many-matchboxes-does-it-take/#comment-5091 Camden Luxford Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:36:41 +0000 http://bearshapedsphere.com/?p=92#comment-5091 I'm one of the galley people, except mine is tucked behind closet doors. So my kitchen DOES have hinges, and could definitely be described as altoid-tin size. And yet, I make do. I curse and weep and balance plates of prepped vegetables all over the few pieces of furniture in the rest of my slightly-more-than altoid-tin size studio, but dinner gets done. And eaten at the desk. Sometimes I look at my tiny Buenos Aires flat and marvel that in Australia, I lived with two friends in a giant, open Queenslander home.

Prices have been going up, and it really depends on where you need to live. I am happy as a clam in my apartment downtown, but that's not for everyone. Also, depends what your creature comforts are and whether or not you're willing to compromise. I know people who wouldn't dream of living without a dishwasher. I haven't had one in seven years, and I can't say I mind much. Likewise, a dryer. For example. some things are very expensive, other things less so.

]]> Comment on Returning from injury, now with feria report by Eileen http://bearshapedsphere.com/2012/02/14/returning-from-injury-now-with-feria-report/#comment-5088 Eileen Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:43:14 +0000 http://bearshapedsphere.com/?p=1729#comment-5088 I like the idea of a cart, but I mainly ride my bike everywhere, so I don't really need one, just navigate back with the bags on the bars, or sometimes with the panniers on. MEDS did give peace of mind, but the treatment was just kind of confirming what I already suspected. Happy to have a doc agree with me, I guess. It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that that's not a fair price for what you get. It's my health insurance's fault, which in turn is my fault, I suppose!

Also, a relieve to see that there are ways to get stuff that isn't going to break the bank. Doing research on Santiago, I get freaked about how expensive everything is, so glad to know about these types of markets! The market sounds out of this world.

It's on Franklin, in the 600 block, south side of the street, if I'm not mistaken. called Lai Thai. And the juice place next door is very good, which is handy, since the thai place doesn't sell drinks. no, you couldn’t have been eating there for the past three years, Sally, because I think it’s only been open for about a year, maybe a year and a half.
