I'm sitting on the couch in the livingroom (there's wireless network access here now, and it works like magic). I'm drinking yummy black coffee made from ground espresso with cardamom and sugar. Kenny, JennyJoe, Alex, and another guy are playing bridge at a small table right in front of me. Diane is watching Kenny's game. A visitor is playing the piano, while Rebekah sings and Sun plays a trombone (sometimes switching to a trumpet). Another guy's at the house computer that we set up last semester. In the kitchen Tasha just hacked open a white coconut ("in my country, these grow on the sidewalk," she explained).

You have a piano at your place? I'm jealous!

I rented one for a while. Unfortunately, it costs money to do that. I'd like to be renting one again soon, though.

Yeah, it's a big house, part of the University Students Cooperative Association (http://www.usca.org/). Thirty-eight residents, something like 45 including boarders.

Ahhh.

See, I lived with my ex- in our own 2 bdroom/2.5 bath apartment. I payed $54/month for the joy of having my own piano in my own living room! Orgasmic.

Then I moved out. Haven't rented a new one. Considering it. Finances are an issue, though.

no, boarders pay for food service and they do workshifts. long-term guests (more than a week) make similar arrangements.
