So now that my floors are done I'm on the hunt for shit to put on top of it. First on the list is a knock-off of the tulip table by Saarinen. Since the real thing retails for $2-3k (stupid) and I'm chinese (cheap), I need a knockoff. Apparently this company called Burke made tulip table/chair repros back in the day but they're hard to find now. Might end up just going with the new one from white on white. Shit, furniture's expensive but I love telling people not to sit on something that's meant to be sat on. It's like I'm both the curator AND the security guard of my own mini museum.
Also found this nice link while lurking on all the mod sites, it's a chart of all the current knockoff brands that manufacture the Barcelona chair and their specs. Who knew the .2mm offset in leather thickness was worth a $2k difference
The Swan Lake record comes out next month.

Controller's great. The games they had on demo weren't.
Would I buy it? If they ever made a cooking game where i can toss a pancake on a skillet with the right controller stick and then eat it with a fork using the left controller stick then probably; until then, probably not. But I also like buying things, so maybe.

You see this player with his doughnut mouth open? It's Eddy Curry. He weighs 500 pounds because all he eats are little children. He moves about as fast as a tuna sandwich. He's about as motivated to play defense as my cats are to move themselves off the couch. He plays center but for some reason can never grab more than 6 rebounds a game — that's like a canal street dvd bootlegger with only 2 movies for sale. Last night, he had 19 points, shot 70% from the field and his team is now undefeated at 3-0. Remember a while back how David Copperfield used some voodoo smoke mirrors 3-card monte to somehow convince Claudia Schiffer to marry him? David Copperfield is better at his job than the Knicks are at theirs, so do the math. Za-Zing!
o man I love my new Skype phone. Cost me about 25 bucks, and I can hit the ground running. Super easy to install the software, and the thing just plugs into my USB jack on my laptop. 5 minutes after I opened the packaging I was making a free phone call, was so easy...
Pretty soon you'll be able to do everything through an IP address, like feed your pets while you're away on vacation and stuff. It's all going to be so great. So now if there's any way Slingbox can get their gear to work on Macs, I can basically reduce my studio overhead by half and spend all my saved money on more ipods.
Work space... got about half the glue off the floor. 5 coats of deck paint buries it pretty well. 2-3 more coats and it'll be good. May have to darken it a little bit as right now it resembles somewhat of a doodee-like color, which may make me want to deuce more if I have to look at it every day while I'm working.
Next year how about no one goes to sneakerpimps so we don't have to stand on line for 5 hours like everyone's at the shit DMV during the holidays. Except unlike the DMV, you wait outside in the cold and when you're done waiting for hours you can't drive anything.
OK so after 5 months of on-again off-again office space searching, I've finally set foot on a new address. Still on spring street but instead of 20 blocks away it's now only 10 blocks away from my apartment, which basically means I can wake up an hour later than my usual wake-up time of 3pm... at some point I'll figure out how to combine working and sleeping into one thing, I'm getting there. The location is great, but the floors aren't. The previous tenant dumped like 30 gallons of carpet adhesive onto the hardwood, making the floor feel like a giant rodent glue trap. Started coating it with mineral spirits and scraping it up but it might take forever. Think I'm just gona end up dumping like 30 gallons of brown paint onto the floor and get it over with. More to come...
