Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
From "serial post," which got bastardized to "cereal," and further to listing pretty much any foodstuff.
Indeed. I believe the same process happened at the Bronze (*sniff*).
Oh, there is House and Dollhouse and HIMYM and I can't watch any of it for two weeks or The Girl, in her infinite not-being-here wisdom, will be annoyed. Strong. I will be strong...
sarameg, a bat? That's rather cool.
tommyrot, that's fantastic. Post more rapture craziness!
So I'm being visited by the insomnia fairy. I saw this house in the NYT. I love the design. I adore the plot of land. But the way the giant cavernous interior room is being used, particularly with things stuffed in the alcoves? Does it look like a furniture showroom to anyone else?
Holy cow! That is fantabulous!
Yes.
(I want that dress!)
Oh, yes
Does it look like a furniture showroom to anyone else?
Yes.
Part of it, too, is the overwhelming use of white with the punches of color in the alcoves. It's too stark a contrast, I think and everything is so linearly arranged.
But dang, the land it sits on is purdy!

My friend's live just down the road from that house! Their house was not 1.6 mill, however. I looked at the pictures thinking "If my house was being featured in the NYT, I would hire a interior designer."
Does it look like a furniture showroom to anyone else?
Yes. But they always stage it that way. My uncle and aunt's house was in Architectural Digest and the basically came in and re-arranged/re-dressed everything to their liking.
I wouldn't kick that house out of bed for eating crackers, no matter how it's staged. Anyway, it's supposed to look like a barn, with a big central area and, well, stalls.
Yes. But they always stage it that way
Well I know they usually look like an upscale furniture store.
But with everything facing one direction (towards the camera head on) it doesn't even look like a nice furniture store.... more like a Levitz Outlet.
It's a cool house, but the staging on it is really ugly.
Does anyone who does NOT currently have Netflix want a free month? I have coupons to send out.
ION - I am cleaning out the desks of laid off co-workers. unfun.
Oh, that's a sucky task.
(The two times I've been laid off, I got let back in to clean out my own desk, which unfortunately because I'm a packrat was a major task.... But at least nobody else had to do it.)
