Garbage Rugs

I had three rugs at the House of Leaves. I can now only locate one. My apartment complex wants us to cover most of our wood flooring with rugs in order to reduce scratching and noise. One is not enough.

I got a text from my friend Anna today telling me that there were two rugs rolled up by the dumpster in the complex across the street from her apartment. I told her I'd go take a look at them and see if they would be worth taking.

I immediately spotted them as I pulled up into the parking lot, rolled up by the dumpster just as I expected. What I didn't expect was the condition they would be in.

They are cleaner than the rugs I took home from the HoL.

Rugs are heavy though. And awkward to carry. And I'm sure I looked like a creeper as I struggled to pick up these garbage rugs and stuff them into my tiny car. I eventually managed and made it back to my apartment where I immediately rolled out the green and beige carpets in the living room.

They aren't the best looking rugs as far as style, but they're at least something.

And the funny part is that one is exactly like one of the rugs I cannot locate at home. It's the green one and you can't miss it once you step into my apartment.

Now they just have to pass the roommate test. I'm going to lobby hard for the garbage rugs because I just don't feel like footing the bill for new ones.
