Here’s some new pictures of my new house. It’s actually a barracão, an in-law house or a garage apartment. It’s amazing and I’m totally in love with it. I thanked some people in the last post but I want to reiterate their awesomeness.

Steve spent two full days painting and hanging shelves and generally being a great friend.

The list of shit that Matias has done is ridiculous. Moving, calling, finding, searching. My go-to fucking guy.

Carmen Fucking Burns. “Calm the fuck down, J. Everything’s gonna be fine.” I’m eating off her plates and drinking out of her glasses.

Hudson, one of my fiadors (co-signers) and refrigerator delivery man (with Matias) and über-patient helper.Mariana, my other fiador and the dreamiest friendliest funniest person to fall down with on a Friday night.

Filipe. A case of fucking beers. ‘Nuff said.

Maíra. My Santa Teresa drinking buddy. CB at the BB, G. Don’t fuck it up, you crazy bitch.

And to those awesome people who bought me housewarming gifts…you’re the greatest! What? Who? You don’t know what I’m talking about? You can read all about it here.

The new neighborhood is Santa Teresa and it’s just outside Zona Sul in a super traditional neighborhood. I’m working on a little video of the neighborhood but it’s been raining like crazy. I should just walk around in the rain and shoot the damn thing.

The pics:

Matias in the rede (hammock).

My awesome homemade closet. Note the awesome blue (teal…wft-ever) paint!

the workspace

the couch/spare bed. come fucking visit.

the home theater

this is where i hang out in the mornings.

a blurry kitchen shot. That brown thing in the corner is this amazing water filter. All natural ceramic filtration nonsense. I love it.

My little yard. And, yes, a mannequin leg.

And my first little get together - burgers and baked beans.

Mari.

Maíra

Hudson.

I swear I had a picture of Filipe but I can’t find it now. I’ll see if I can get a nude one of him later. You’ll like that.

And my new address (for postcards and stuff):
