the effects of pencils in outer space
(perma-link)
when there isn't much to do in your pitiful existence, you tend to get fatter. it's true. i mean, look at america. you don't think we got fat because we actually LIKE mcdonalds, do you? good heavens.
this is why i spend much of my free time in the kitchen. it's a wholesome environment, the phone is only a few steps away, the paper is right there in front of me, and nothing is more enlightening than reading a real life newspaper (contrary to the beliefs that my peers would like me to believe, that the newspaper format is dying and slowly being replaced by the superior internet).
something that has baffled me about our kitchen is our strange hybrid between cupboards and drawers. chances are you haven't been in my kitchen, so let me briefly explain. in most houses, you have cupboards and drawers. by cupboards, i mean two wooden panels covering a shelved area. it's not exactly rocket science. our house is slightly different. opening a 'cupboard' will reveal two shelves that slide out, providing easy access to the random cocktail of kitchen devices underneath, i.e. belgian waffle toasters, panini grills, there's probably a george foreman in there too, etc etc.
initially you'd think this was a good idea. but after thinking about this, it's not. why didn't they just put drawers in instead of this cupboard/drawer madness? why do i have to open a cupboard to open even more drawers? it's not like they are trying to hide the ugliness of the drawers; cupboards aren't more aesthetically eye pleasing than drawers, last i checked.
upon this realization, i stopped my nifty hybrid cupboard thoughts and started thinking of the most efficient way to remove these from my house under my parent's noses. this will definitely require a carpenter.
love your uncle thom
