so i’ve always said that i like making plans, almost more than anything. there is some small part of me that relishes something going wrong, horribly wrong, because then i am faced with the most pleasurable of tasks, how to make the best of something gone horribly wrong, how to build up what has been […]
so you know you have those things, those certain things that you always fear happening. they stay in the back of your mind whenever you are doing something in which this thing could potentially happen. for example, whenever i use or am near a motorized saw, i think about my hands or fingers getting cut […]

i got my Poang chair (brown-black wood, Vena dark blue cushion) and matching ottoman today. i drove to bumblefuck suburban hell (also known as Warminster) and picked it up from a pleasant little family (two year old twins, split level, two SUVs in the driveway) for a mere forty dollars. when i got […]
