The one who has the teeth of cats mixed in with perhaps a wolverine & 3 cow (ME) does not necessarily exude on the cash side of life. Maybe I would more so than now if not for the medical ‘care’ eating up all of my fun green stuff. Okay, yawn.
That said, I often get my magazines as FREE such a sweet word by combing Craigslist. Most recent coup was a handful of Adbusters. Wow. Right?
One of the pile:
Not having fun - in Yellow.
Free. Thank you, Sir. Danke!
Maybe we can have a future blog about torture, and I can horrify you with my own personal experience! No? Yeah, right you are: boring. Let us leave that as a political discussion!
You may be wondering if there is a topic here at all. Well … surprise! There is.
When the lovely, I am so grateful for free shit rolls my way, sometimes the things within are no longer available. Avail. Yourself. of that sadness.
Yes, I feel weird. Shush.
BUT! This proves not to be the case today. Though it took me a while, I found the beautiful thing that I desire so … it was in an advertise box at the end of another favorite magazine (I certainly shall do a blog about these soon, these beloveds of mine that are a library, never recyclo) …
METROPOLIS, hrts/flwrs
In the back of this very issue of this exact magazine - an advertisement for chairs that read:
“some kids just gotta Rock”
Okay, I admit, UNTIL THIS VERY DAMN SECOND … I thought it was a chair for kids with, say, autism. Or something along those lines.
I never claimed brilliance, just good taste. Regardless: I was full of WOW and YAY and FINALLY!!
*sigh
I’ve tracked down the chair, it comes from a company named Virco … apparently they sell furnishings for places like … schools. I suppose they meant their ad to be ‘cool’ about kids rocking out. I don’t know. I just felt SEEN damn it. (Have I mentioned yet that I am nowhere near in age to anything remotely resembling a kid?)
Virco. Our love need not be diminished. If you think, Ew, ugly … well I made sure to get you all the colors:
Reminds me of the bad Robocop in Robocop, yes?
Other colors available: or/Driftwood, Chocolate, Graphite and Black. Maybe $220, can be 13″
They say: ‘An elegant rocking chair with a moderate range of motion, appropriate for libraries, break rooms, reading nooks, or as a side chair in the classroom. Guaranteed to brighten the mood of any environment.’
Which shows they have never been to my soul-altering, grey and shrouded abode.
POINT IS: You can rock back and forth in it when you are feeling completely freaking nutters and that may be any second now, my dearies, because this is taking too long to write.
*keck
The chair has its own sense of beauty, it has swoop and all of the smooth - shines where you want it to. Perhaps they should have these for a private home with the legs being offered in matte black, and so on. You feel me, I know this. They have others I have not inspected, virco.com I think.
Almost none of these blogs look anything like I meant them to when they finally get posted. I was spoiled once by having a blog on a major site (interrupts: story! Fine woman, giving me a few years of Wallpaper* - I gave her my card, and it simply said, if ever I can do for you, gratitude, etc– she just looked at it and said ‘Oh you have that website with the blog’ meaning all the bloggers not me, but it was a sweet moment; part of her license plate was EAMES: sigh) that damn site had excellent tools with which to create my blog with precision. I fumble here. Fumble!!
How annoying WAS that last paragraph! Hah. I always feel accomplished when I mangle the language & grammar. Oh I feel fine indeed.
I want to babble on even more but MUST GO NOW!!!!! Cripes. Babbling tool.
