life, liberty and the pursuit of property

bulldozer and dynamite

this was a big weekend for me, I got a new couch a took down a bed.



fig. 1 shows my old room, filled the rim with a huge bed, dvds and my clothes.

fig. 2 shows my new room, no bed and lots of open space.

fig. 3 is my new couch, scale is hard to demonstrate in 2 dimensions, but this is an 8 foot couch. and with a little help from my parents this is the newest thing in my room.

now here is the big news: the room in fig. 1 is not the same as the room in fig. 2. the couch, that I really like and is way too comfortable to be legal, was too damn big for my old room. the movers tried, I tried, but we could not make it fit. god scorched a little more earth with me on this one, but there was no way I was going to send this couch back.

the result it that I’m now upstairs.

gnut and I have switched rooms, he gets a tv room, and I get a room my couch will fit into. the down side it that gnuts room doesn’t have cable or internet. we had to run a long cat. 5 cable into the room for me to post this.

in the background of fig. 2 you might be able to spot my tower of dvds, that's about 105 in a three tier dvd stand. that towers makes up about 2/3 of my total collection, and is why my next purchase will be a couple more dvd stands and a shelf to hang on my wall get some of the cases off the floor.

also in the fig. 2 you might notice my 19" tv, and as everyone knows that tv is too damn small. my next tv will have to be a 16:9 flat screen. that is much farther down the road.

special prize to any one who can name the dvd playing on my tv in fig. 2
