Okay, this is the cutest thing ever. Little Alibelle was very thoughtful.
Oh, lordy, that is possibly the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
My co-workers thank you all for the Adorable Inter-Species Baby Love photos. They have made the rounds and received appropriate coos. Mondays need all the help they can get.
I look forward to telecommuting, but I also fear that I will never speak to another human being again. They'll find me one day dead in my kitchen, having choked on a fish oil capsule, with my throat eaten by the neighborhood cat. They'll say, she died doing what she loved - taking healthy supplements and feeding cats.
Oh, my god, such a Monday. Not enough gronk in the world.
For those of us not well-versed in office furniture, what is the significance of an Eames chair?
That particular chair is one of the most famous of midcentury furniture designs: [link]
Huh. I don't quite see the point of it still, but there you go. I wouldn't tag it as a worst-ever design, but it's not interesting enough for me to wonder what's the point of (even nice) furniture tattooed on one's body.

Thank you for asking that, ita. I was just about to ask, myself.

Huh.
I hate the moniker "tramp stamp" for a lower-back tattoo. (1) Because women's lower backs are lovely, and a well-done tattoo looks fantastic there. (2) *I* have a lower-back tattoo, and I got it to cover up my surgery scar -- it has *nothing* to do with providing decoration for all the guys to whom my tattoo says "Fuck me in the ass!!!"
(Seriously, *do* guys really think that's what a woman's lower-back tattoo means?)

Maybe it'd be cool if it was some anthropomorphisized furniture, running into battle while holding a sword over its head.
Hmmm... couldn't find any such images on google....
*do* guys really think that's what a woman's lower-back tattoo means?
From what I can tell, even if it doesn't mean that, it makes many guys think that. However, I have not been able to discern what else (like, say, just seeing a woman from behind) makes these same guys think that too.
I think the furniture tats are going to remain in the "okay, whatever" realm for me. They're too...I don't know. I don't think they look nice, and the jump to meaning is too far for me to make with the wearer.
I don't expect anyone else to dig my tat, so it's not a condemnation of any sort.
