i don't own a video bong

[tdaschel]

it's not the way i'd spend the time i most clearly don't have: no video backgammon, chinese checkers, horseback riding or oral sex.

i'm still suspect though. a broken turntable in the closet, the desire to have it fixed. what - really - is that about?

i basically live at the Valley airport, reading Doris Lessing, trying not to wonder *too* much why _ cancelled our movie date to attend the Monster Truck Show with her ex.husband (who she insists is a Gay Christian).

such are the early a.m. Valley airport durations (inna fine/technical/nice sense, "life").

Gay Christians and Monster Truck Shows! Wow. I though I was living in a yet unfilmed dark comedy! Wow.
Video backgammon sounds even worse than those Miami Vice inspired games...the popular ones I can't remember the name of because I'm trying to live in a different era.

what I wonder

[plasticman111]

Is how do they decorate their slums in Sweden. There is a quantifiable medical condition called Ikea syndrome. I can't define it precisely, but I have suffered from it and the best thing I can tell you is that its like car sickness, but existential. You are my guilty pleasure.

I think about this too. I know the Netherlands has it's fair share of authentic slums but there is a stubborn, naive part of me that wants to think that in Sweden there are still Eames inspired rugs and the kiddies are wearing H&M. I'm horrible.
I believe in Ikea syndrome, based on my rather irrational fear of the place. I have never been there. I have a lamp that I found abandoned from Ikea and I keep it in my sewing/art/mess room because it bothers me. It looks like a very exotic plant from the future.
