And so, with a friend, I did. I'd like to introduce the 'second trek' project ... basically building a community of star trek and sci-fi fans for role-play in a very immersive environment (visually, audibly, etc. etc.) I picked up a sim, named "Shipyard" and dedicated half of it for the RP. The other half, i'm selling as sci-fi / futuristic themed real estate."
I suppose this counts as a meme of sorts.. ^_^

And I moved in to the new (and furnished!) warren. It's nice. ^_^ The only photos I've been able to coax out of the ailing (it'd probably be more accurate to say "post mortem") A200 are utterly lousy, but they'll give some idea of the place.
The den of iniquity.
The Spare Oom.
Part of the lounge, from the hallway.
The window side of the kitchen. The business side affords a gas hob, electric oven, and convection microwave, with lighting beneath the fitted units, as well as above, and the row of lights by the window. I like this kitchen. ^_^ (And being a furnished place, rented from a couple who've more or less settled in France, it's very well equipped. I gained some simple amusement with the drawers, which have dampeners that gently pull the drawers back in on being pushed closed)
The conservatory, as seen from the lounge. The 32" LCD TV is peeking in on the right edge. Not sure if I'll actually wind up using it much, but it'll be handy as and when guests come over, once I have the cabling set up to hook up Hyzenthlay, ideally over DVI, else S-video.
The conservatory. The bottle of Bordeaux Merlot was waiting for me as a welcoming gift from the owners. ^_^ (And which accompanied dinner below)
The kitchen's inaugural dinner on Sunday night was a small ribeye steak, sprinkled with ketjap manis (Malaysian sweet soy sauce) and wasabi during cooking, joined in the pan by two thickly sliced white mushrooms, and accompanied by four Jersey Gold new potatoes, broccoli, and some asparagus, covered in portobello & madeira sauce. Happy bunny. ^_^
And I have towels! Vivid blue for the main bath towel, hot orange for the smaller one, and an adorable pink for the hand towel. Yay colors! (I've long been an advocate of dyes. We have the technology!)
