New Pad
While I haven’t moved much stuff down here, I have managed to rent a new pad. It has been over a decade since I’ve rented a place; I forgot how much of a fuck around it is. It is a beautiful home on Sydney Harbour - however, only the bottom floor is mine. It is really spacious and has all that a reformed sleazebag needs. So if any of you guys make it to Sin City, drop in for a lazy 50 or 60 beers.
In the “I never would have believed it possible” department. I have survived nearly 3 weeks with one blazer, three suits and a dinner jacket. It hasn’t been easy, but now I know what it must be like to live in poverty. Thankfully, I can now organise for all my suits to join me here - I’ve missed them terribly.

that place looks quite modest…. not! We need to have a KCL party there some day!

Can you dive into the water from the window?
Very cool, M…bet it’s beautiful!

Holy shit…thats place rocks…

You’re just determined to make every guy on KCL hate your guts, aren’t you???
Comment by evilfury — February 3, 2010 @ 9:39 pm
@Westy - any time! And modesty (& commitment) are my middle names.
@D - only if you wanted to break your neck! It is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you and Res!
@L-L Thanks - it’ll be rocking this weekend!
@EF - I find that I generally don’t have to try too hard!

I don’t know about hating you, but I sure wouldn’t mind being you for a week.

Jahm - we need to do a trading places - I wouldn’t mind hanging in KY for a while
Comment by lermontovwithacapitall — February 3, 2010 @ 10:15 pm
Lem in KY? Oh hell, I’d have to come up there and WATCH!
Comment by doanli — February 3, 2010 @ 10:39 pm
Just make sure that it is the right KY!

The accent would play well in Louisville or Lexington. I could see you pimpin’ out at a Keenland spring meet.
Comment by jahm — February 3, 2010 @ 10:56 pm
COOL! I want to visit!!!
Comment by lunamor — February 3, 2010 @ 11:06 pm
I know this sounds outlandish, but I think if Lem came to Ky he would get tired of women once and for all. He would leave here dry as a fucking bone.
Comment by evilfury — February 3, 2010 @ 11:07 pm
He’d have no sleep, Susan…he’d try to keep going 24/7!
Comment by doanli — February 3, 2010 @ 11:32 pm
they make things for both of those problems
Comment by jahm — February 3, 2010 @ 11:47 pm
I’ll just have to settle for my low-rent closet
Need interiors, dude 
Comment by fstopped — February 4, 2010 @ 12:35 am
Groovy new digs!
I’ll be right over.
Have chocolate available, please.

It looks beautiful! If I make it to the otherside of the world and I am unsatisfied, do I get my money back?
Comment by Alianna — February 4, 2010 @ 4:29 am
I was wondering how you were coping without your suits
oh and get some patio furniture
mwah
Comment by fakebrunette — February 4, 2010 @ 4:53 am
Noice. Is that the view from or the view of the new joint?
Either way she’s a winner. And congrats for picking a relatively grown-up suburb. Means you’ve earned enough grown-up brownie points to carry on like a 21 year old for at least the next couple of years.

I can’t get the visual of you sexin’ up all the local KY girls out of my head. I was going to say to only pick the ones with teeth, but the girls without teeth could be interesting, too.

Jahn - I’m more than willing to give the accent a run!
D - I’m too old for that sort of behaviour - true!
Luna - you are in luck - there is a spare room
EF - almost made me book a ticket!
Doug - I’ll take an interior shot when my furniture arrives - I think you’d like the walls (from a photo point of view)
BB - no chocolate, plenty of booze though!
Alianna - there is no risk of being unsatisfied in Sydney! I think you’d love it.
FB - it has been tough - but I’ve dtruggled through!
DrY - cheers! It is a cracker of a place and hopefully I can keep it that way! Next time you are in town you must swing by for a couple of sharpies!
Sugar - I’m all for toothless crones!
Comment by lermontovwithacapitall — February 4, 2010 @ 6:55 am
Awesome place.
What a view!
Comment by mouse — February 4, 2010 @ 7:48 am
I’m all about the sharpies sir, well spotted. Sounds like I’ll be in Mudbourne some time in the next week or two but not the City of Sin sadly.
Comment by Dr Yobbo — February 4, 2010 @ 8:10 am
Fantastic you found my dream house. Big enough to throw some wonderful parties and just a few steps where I can throw a line in the water and fish all day long. When can I come visit lol or move in LOL.
Comment by msvyki — February 4, 2010 @ 8:41 am
Nice. I wonder how long it will take you to christen it…please keep us posted =)
Comment by justfly — February 4, 2010 @ 10:45 am
Take us for a KCL party in one of those yachts, Lem!!!
Comment by doanli — February 4, 2010 @ 11:20 am
Mouse - thanks. It has a great view from the verandah!
DrY - Are you catching up with Fkn H and Naut et al? Should be a solid trip! And I neglected to answer your q - that is the house - the photo is from across the other side of the bay heading to Cremorne.
MsVyki - people do fish in the harbour, but you’d have to be brave to eat it! I’ve only got the bottom floor, but it is still big enough to have a party on!
JF - I’d say that it should make it through until tomorrow (Fri) night!
D - I could probably steal a yacht, but alas, none are mine. My father wld prob take you sailing!

It’s nicer than the Houston Ship Channel or the Newark Bay, but not quite as nice as Highlands, New Jersey.
Comment by fritzthebootlegger — February 5, 2010 @ 7:37 am
mate…fkn brilliant. That front seriously needs a fkn SPUD GUN..to manny baots in range not to have a ping when the fkrs are populated..Nice digs..fkn nice digs
Comment by HAVOCK — February 7, 2010 @ 8:09 am
Steve - it is a nice part of the world - and the birds are hotter than Jersey!
Havock - ta. You’ll be pleased to know that a tennis ball can be struck from the verandah and hit half the yachts in the bay. They were bracketed correctly before FFE!
Comment by lermontovwithacapitall — February 8, 2010 @ 7:03 am
Charming…. I want to see the inside as I suppose that will probably be the closest I get to the down under…..
Comment by andimac — February 11, 2010 @ 10:11 pm
Does your verandah allow enough room to swing a golf club? If so, then I’d say you have a target-rich environment. “Fore!” Ping! Bonk! Splash!
Comment by fritzthebootlegger — February 12, 2010 @ 11:48 pm
Andi - thanks! I’ve only got a phone camera - but, I’ll see what I can do.
Steve - it does - I could re-create your frat house thing! Although I’d need a pitching wedge I think

Do you acknowledge that this is high time to get the mortgage loans, which will help you.
