Things to Get for a New Apartment

In no particular order.
  • 1-2 saucepans
  • clothes drying rack
  • bed (ha!)
  • bookshelf #2
  • bookshelf #3 ?
  • coffee making device
  • couch-like device
  • coffeetable-like device
  • CD rack at least 3 times bigger than the tiny one I now own
  • bathroom scale
  • nice, comfy, good-sounding headphones
  • bike parking mats (I'm thinking 2-3 rubber doormat like things)
  • 2-3 bike-tire wipedown rags (keep the landlords happy)
  • little under-seat bike tool bag (keep rags handy)
  • blender-like device
  • can opener
  • smallish kitchen table & chairs (breakfast nook sized or smaller)
  • broom, mop, and floor dusting apparatus
  • trash cans: kitchen + bathroom (I'm tired of my old standby of a suitably-sized cardboard box with a plastic shopping bag liner)
  • nice house plants!
  • some art + poster hanging apparatus
  • a smaller stereo setup than this monstrosity from 1990
  • a good cell phone headset, because it's no more landline for me
  • 1-2 new power strips (they wear out, kids)
  • teh Internets!!!
  • 1 case of 12 dozen thank-you cards, plus postage, for all the people who are gonna send me their last dollar to make this beggar's wishlist come true (double ha!)
Well, I'm sure I'll think of something else. In the mean time, make checks payable to Rob Brown, apartment #202.
