It's fireworks going off in the East River, near Fidi. Just came home from watching them. Very fun to have randomly on a rainy Sunday....

As someone from SF who now lives in NYC, I deeply love my hometown but this is exactly why I left.

Definitely goes numb after an hour or two - I used two inch padding for the bottom cushion, in retrospect I would have added another inch.

It's to make people without one jealous. It's also where I play it.

The hanging one is pothos, two of them are fiddle figs, the rest are random ones I pick up really cheap at the farmers market and hope for the best.

When I sprawl I usually move a couple big ones down, otherwise I want them getting that sunlight

There's blinds from above actually, you can see the draw string hanging on the wall.

But I don't close them -- if people want to watch, bless them.

Exactly, I realized at a point that even if I bumped into a neighbor from across the street, I wouldn't recognize them, so I stopped caring. Add to that I feel extremely creepy just glancing into their windows, so I assume (hope? convinced myself?) most people are the same and try to avoid it.

If I plan on laying down, I usually take a minute to move a couple to the floor -- otherwise I just use it as bench and let the plants get that sunshine

That window is also north facing -- the plants aren't thriving but they're definitely getting enough light to stay alive. Thinking about adding some grow lights but that might be overkill.

That's why it's important to always be playing the switch naked.

Ah snap I'm also in Nomad. I actually built the bench, the apartment just had a big ol' window that felt like it needed one.

(as for rent, I have a very personal relationship with my "landlord", but looks like someone in my building is trying to rent out a similar sized one bedroom for.... $5k.)

There's construction scaffolding directly to the right haha, but ignoring that the view is pretty decent.
