No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Very elegant, Jesse!

Nice! We registered for everyday dishes for the wedding, since we had been using a combo of his dishes + my dishes since I moved in. And they're fine...except the bowls don't nest well. If you stack more than 3 (we have 8), the stack falls over. So I'm thinking new bowls in the same color, but different brand, will be our 3-year anniversary gift, and Goodwill gets 8 ornery bowls.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I like those, Jesse. I've bought various inexpensive dishes over the years, but when it comes to the possibility of "good china" I want, Want, WANT ones just like the chipped, broken, incomplete set of porceline dishes I got at a garage sale for my first apartment in college. Only, you know, new and complete. Friends were known to ask to use our place for a romantic dinner because we had such elegant dishes (out of service for eight, there were still two perfect plates with no chips). But I have never seen any exactly like them since. For some reason similar but not quite the same seems worse than totally and completely different. Second choice is Blue Willow ware and/or Calamityware.

Yeah, I've been looking for years, and these seem to be the closest to what I want. I also have my grandmother's china, which I really like, but only use for good.

Oh, that's annoying!

In other news about me, my mother brought down two stories from the Sunday paper for me to read, and I know people in both of them! Maybe I actually have a network here, finally.

I am drinking tea from a calamityware mug right now, AIFG!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'll probably never buy dishes that aren't either sentimental vintage pieces, or Corelle. I recently dropped a Corelle bowl onto a concrete floor and it bounced and did not break. I've been using Corelle for 30 thirty years and only one piece has ever broken. And it's inexpensive and available everywhere! I'm a Corelle fangirl.

If anyone is every looking for chine, they should try estate auctions. fancy china is so not in right now, so I've seen huge settings go for very cheap.
I always regret not having my favourite potter make me dishes. Unfortunately, he no longer pots.
