22-year-old Aura returns home to her artist mother’s TriBeCa loft with the following: a useless film theory degree, 357 hits on her Youtube page, a boyfriend who’s left her to find himself at Burning Man, a dying hamster, and her tail between her legs. Luckily, her trainwreck childhood best friend never left home, and ill-advised romantic possibilities lurk around every corner. Aura quickly throws away her liberal-arts clogs and careens into her old/new life: a dead-end hostess job, pathetic Brooklyn “art shows,” drinking all the wine in her mother’s neatly organized cabinets, competing with her prodigious teenage sister, and desperate sex in a giant metal pipe. Surrounded on all sides by what she could become, Aura just wants someone to tell her who she is.

Some people, especially those who are on a tight budget and do not really want to go for an all-out change just go for having the house repainted and other little changes, like buying some new furniture, changing the lights, and so on. Some people are attached to their houses and do not want to change it in any way, this is where landscaping could come in.

For example, a 4500 CFM evaporative cooler costs about 0 to purchase and install. A similarly sized AC unit would cost about 00. In addition, repair parts are often more expensive for AC units than evaporative coolers. Which is cheaper to operate? The swamp cooler wins handily. For similar sized units, the annual utility costs for an air conditioner are three times those of a swamp cooler (water & electric). The difference is the amount of energy required to power an air conditioner compressor versus the electric motors used in a swamp cooler.
