"Second Hand Table" Quality of Life

Tweet

I think that I'm a simple man - not a simpleton, just someone who doesn't get excited about having to be a part of the latest fashion trend. By the same token, I might be at the other extreme by not caring enough. For several years now, I've practiced making do without and with what I have. Practiced? I think I've got it perfected! Take my furnishing for example. For a computer desk, I have the wooden cabinet shell of 60's era floor model TV. It's sturdy. Roomy enough that nothing falls off. I'm happy.

While my girlfriend appreciates my Thoreau-like existence, she has taste and class (yet she still loves me. Go figure). She would prefer that I upgrade my lifestyle from wooden stumps and card tables to better arrangements, something stylish like Powell furniture. I don't know. With her help, maybe I can cultivate a more prosperous mentality. I thought I was rich already by having her in my life.

Spring time in the Home Theatre

Tweet

Spring time plays a lot of funny tricks with your mind. From the depths of despair brought on by winter, I find myself teased with hopes of things that might be and of those that could be. On this bright sunny day, I found myself in my living room day-dreaming of how to make it into my own home theater. There's only one wall big enough for 60 inch high definition TV. This means seating will have to be 12 feet away on the opposite wall - very handy for my nearsighted friends. I wonder if they make sectional sofas that seat ten and let everyone recline? I could put this up on a pedestal to give a sort of IMAX viewing effect. Throw in some speakers, a fridge stocked with drinks, and easily accessible munchies and I think I'll have a spot of heaven here in my living room. All I need now is some money, a little spare time, a few friends, movies... Curse you, Spring time, and your beckoning flights of fantasy!
