I'll just get the kettle...



Well, sure, this garage is kind of a mess. But messy garages aren't that uncommon, so... Wait.

It's not the garage.

It's the kitchen.

Um... anyway, can I fix you a sandwich?

Old friends (more on the Secret Life of Chairs)


"Hey, Pinky."

"Hi, Mauve. What's on?"

"Oh, just the plants. As usual. Want to watch with me?"

"Sure."

(Contented silence for the next three hours.)

Not what I think of when I hear "Copacabana"



Look. You shove the dresser out of the way, take the photo, shove the dresser back. That way nobody notices that the bedroom is the size of a Vanagon. Easy!

Stoopid sinks.




I believe the owner of this house hates sinks. Really hates sinks. Dumb sinks, with all their drains and their water and... and... yeah. Sinks! Take that! Who's all wet now, huh?

Although actually, the bottom one looks more joyful than revengeful. Like someone was unpacking and going "the sink goes THERE!" and tossing it into the corner. Whee!

(P.S. I'm having some computer problems -- ones involving flames and smoke and such -- so please don't take it personally if I'm slow to reply to e-mails the next few days.)

Pretty!


Sure, you'll never get to sleep at night with all the glowing sand surrounding you and the radiation seeping into your bones and there's a good chance you'll turn into a superhero if you live here, but isn't it pretty?

For that Soviet ski chalet look


Maybe this doesn't belong here, because the photo isn't demonstrating poor taste on the real estate agent's part. I think that this is just what the place looks like. You know, your standard parade viewing stand next to an A-frame sort of place. With someone dancing next to it.

That's what life is like every day in Utah, isn't it?

Yet another fish story



OK, I give up. There must be some reason why people post photos of fish in their real estate listings, because there are just so damn many of them.

Found by Meg (I think).
