the flower that haunts us all
|
There's so many beautiful flowers, I don't know if I could pick just one favorite.
|
sakura
  spring comes; grass grows by itself... |
no no, it's something to do with seeds and the german nation.
i like snapdragons!  they come in lots of different colours and you can squeeze their necks and they open their mouths and it's really funny when bees crawl in. :) |
^^^ "the german nation" snort!!!:D
too many to list but here's a few    |
i like the hippeastrum best for now-- one of mine just started to bloom in the wrong season-- a little bit of summer :)

Anyway, snapdragons are cool :) |

I like snaps too!! |
^Aye :)

 bird of paradise  columbine NEW question of the day... what are you listening to? |
grrr Brynn just beat me to asking the new question. Great question Freida, great answers as well.
sound: I'm itching to hear some PJ Harvey so will look for some next, but right now there's a male cat on the chair next to me (Needs a Name) grooming a foster kitten. It's pretty noisy and grunty. |
i am listening to myself chewing on my breakfast, my computer humming and the storm outside
|
XFM London and the sudden stillness after my long-not-seen-friend-who-is-back-in-Berlin-now who visited me today in office is gone.
|
I am listening to myself, to see if I can pick out the melody, but it's rather faint today.
|
The freezer hums a low note
The refrigerator too; The furnace rumbles and hot air sighs. A failing neon bulb's delicate and intermittent sizzle descants over the thumps and tenors of the playing cats. The keyboard clicks. And in my head the memory of last night's sustained delicious moan. |
Old Old CD :
Black - Wonderful Life Just thought to youtube search for the video - and lo and behold... Gosh, I loved this Album. |
the spouse. :)
|
i'm listening to ventilation & heating noises, and some faint traffic noises emanating from Houston avenue.
|
husband in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher, and car talk on NPR
a faint hum from the central heating, and the fan as it comes on slight tinnitus in my right ear thumpity thump noises of my fingers on the HP keyboard tiny ticcing of the HD... |
¿ question of the day ? for sunday 3rd february
how good is your couch/settee/sofa? |
It's got a nice beat, you can dance to it.
I'd give it a 7. |
I'm more attached to the one upstairs, because I have good memories of the two of us playing Sega Game Gear together, and sharing many a happy nap through hypothyroidism and pregnancy. Today it is mostly Katie's domain, where she retires as soon as the house is empty. It's a gooder.
|
I have a really stiff, uncomfortable, really snooty sofa. Maybe it's stiff because I haven't broken it in, and I haven't broken it in because it's too stiff, either way it really fails at its purpose in life.
|
ohh it's so good, i give it a 9,5.
it's more comfortable to sleep on than my bed. it's big and soft and 2 meters wide, in a linen/cotton mix in beige. it goes *poof* when you sit down on it, and then, you sink away in it, it hugs you. i'm very happy with it :):) |
The one in the basement is now a beater. I dragged it here from Chicago (where I bought it new), and it's so old and comfy and stained and gross...the dog sleeps on it, and I fall asleep in front of the TV on it. It should, however, be in someone's dorm room. 8 out of 10 for effort.
The one in the living room is a wicker 2-seater from pier 1 - far more comfy than it looks - and within headphone lead reach of my music library. 8.5 out of 10 for subtlety There's one in our storage unit - it's covered in playa dust and has a sinister burn mark on one of the arms. We'll pull it out and deploy it again this year in our BRC living space. In its present location I give it a 3 out of 10. in its natural habitat, it's a definite 9.5. |
here it is, my couch/settee/sofa!
 i've changed my mind-- it's a 10 out of 10 :):) |
^ i recognize at least one of those pillows.
my sofa is tired of trying and is just phoning it in. actually the frame is marvelous but we had to replace the foam cores of the cushions last year. and the upholstery has lost its chenilley goodness and has become something of a blah entity. we're just biding our time until our next move. then it's sectional time. oh yes, i covet a sectional. YOU try sharing a sofa with a 6'3" man who likes to stretch out. |
A few years back when I had an apartment and a student loan I ordered new furniture. I'm fond of napping on the couch and wanted an extra bed for visitors, so I bought a large sofa with a pull out bed.
When it was delivered, a wall was in the way- the couch wouldn't fit through. The delivery men offered to go up the back stairs, but still the fit would be diagonal and I didn't think think it would work. In addition, those sleeper- sofas are HEAVY. I picture one of the men losing their grip and falling of the stairway onto the driveway below, that heavy ass couch landing on top of them. I lost the delivery fee and got a love seat. Of course any sofa would fit through the straight entryway of my house now. Getting a new one isn't a priority. I can sit on it just fine. I'm a bit of a minimalist and when I move, I'll likely abandon it. |

lazizazza, i'm not sure if this settee is instigating fights with others or the others are ganging up on him?  pm me if you're interested thanks bye |
My two easy chairs get a 8.7 (the green one) and a 9.2 (unfortunately this one is covered with things atm) respectively.
My mattress (such a double-bed sized one) I use as couch, guest bed and whatnotall gets a 9.7. |
New q for Monday:
¿ Do you have a 'dark side', that is some inner abyss, something scary (for yourself or/and for others if they'd behold it) ? ¿ Or are you what a friend of mine calls a 'bright person' (lacking 'darkness') ? ¿ Or do you think one cannot divide a personality in such categories as 'dark' and 'bright' or that there's always some kind of balance/mix ? (Well, no question about Brightpearl here :) ;)) |
 no comment |
^Cool, not such a boring single-split personality like everybody, but a real double-split one!! ;)
Actually, I've never thought about any 'dark side' until that discussion with my friend. But yes, I got one. And imo everybody has one, some more, some less, some (can) live it more on the outward, some (have to) keep it more on the inside. Mine's more kept inside. No details about the contents though. (Btw that's not the intention of the q.) |
never ever ask me that question again
|

But for the moment, I find myself more intrigued by YOUR dark side. Does it include handcuffs and a whip?:cool: |
(Handcuffs are interesting, gotta try, but that's not necessarily what I'd consider 'dark', particularly not if they're pink and fluffy
 ;)) |
. |
YEah I got a dark side--my skin side.
GOTTA PROBLEM WITH THAT Whitey ? |
