roommate wanted at Bluish Barn
We’re looking for a new roommate at the Bluish Barn this September. The new roommate would be replacing me in the front ‘parlor room’, where I’ve been living happily for two years. Michelle and Christina are staying in the bedrooms upstairs. Rent is $350 plus utilities. I’ll be moving nearby but still renting part of the basement here as workshop/storage/practice space.
Potential candidates should have a willingness to continue in our tradition of screening movies in the backyard when it’s nice outside. (I opened my bedroom up to screenings during cold/wet weather, but you wouldn’t have to do that.) And a willingness to contribute to this blog is a plus.
We keep pretty quiet here, with an occasional danceparty or other events besides screenings. We like our home to be a place where we can get good work done. The Wheeler Park neighborhood is a nice mix of old folks, working people, and grad students. We know our neighbors, we like them, and we don’t want to piss them off any more than we already do.
The room measures about 12′ by 15′, with a large front window with mahogany blinds. All I’ve had separating my room from the communal dining room is a couple of curtains. You might want to build some kind of door or find shelves to fill in the space for a little more privacy. (Nothing permanent though, since we’re renting.)
Let’s see, what else? Year-long lease. No pets. Smokers welcome but no smoking inside house. Free laundry in the basement. ‘Pyrogoda’ in the back for fires. House internet (paid). House Netflix account (paid, optional). House email address and website (free). Walking distance to UM Hospital, Kerrytown, bus stops, train station, train tracks, Co-op, Farmer’s Market, basketball courts, park, trails, bike routes, Huron River, Argo pond, liquor store. Nice roommates. Good landlord. Friendly neighbors. Beautiful backyard. Pleasant interior design. Front porch sunset. Back porch sunrise.
Anyone interested please email roommate@bluishbarn.com.

Most blogs are owned by people… There’s the occasional bot, I’m sure, but generally it’s people who care for and maintain blogs. BluishBarn doesn’t seem to exist within that structure. Nope, this blog is owned by the house, about the house, and maintained by the house slaves. You move in, you gotta take care of the house’s alter-ego. Great.

tim, your interior design is far, far better than “pleasant.”

In fact, your interior design is so lovely that you make up for your use of the term “Pyroganda.” Almost.
