The guy in his 30s watching The Pale made me think, "Yes. I should get married at some point, because I'm not going to be this asshole." How can I describe him? Think inconsequential tagalong to the 80s teen movie jerk. Then he's an adult. And he goes tanning. And he frosts his hair. And he has a soul patch. And a denim hat. And so on. You get the idea.
But he's obviously single. So now I feel scared into getting married so I don't end up like him or anything close to him. Thus, if you are interested in getting serious about a "IF WE AREN'T MARRIED BY SUCH AND SUCH" deal, then LET ME KNOW. I'm looking at something like age 28 to 32 for me (a 6 to 10 year horizon). You can decide on the specific date (though I am partial to Tuesday November 6th, 2012 - the day we elect the first robot president, who will be a Good Robot, unlike the Evil Robot that will certainly takeover in a bloodless [because robots don't have blood, but it will have a lot of robot casualties] coup)
Anyway, I like The Pale. Thursday the 14th at The Croc (allegedly 18+). Tuesday the 19th Dear John Letters is there. And I like them a lot.
The best throw pillows in the world. My favorites: the hooker, the grenade, the joystick, the ghettoblaster.
More metadecorating (THIS DECORATING CONCEPT WILL CATCH ON, GODDAMMIT!!!): get one framed picture. Then take a picture of it hanging on your wall. Frame the picture of the picture. Take a picture of the picture of the picture. And so on.
Yet another idea for decorating walls: pictures of other peoples' rooms. Your living room would have 3 or 4 large pictures of normal living rooms in their normal state of affairs (i.e. a soiled plate on the coffee table, DVDs in general disarray, the TV blaring, etc). Bedrooms have pictures of other bedrooms, bathrooms for bathrooms, closets for closets (why don't we decorate a closet! What a good idea!)
I'M SO FULL OF DECORATING IDEAS IT HURTS BUT IT IS A RELIEF WHEN I FINALLY PURGE THEM FROM MY ACHING HEAD. Build a window sill thing - like the part you would see of a window from the inside of the house, except no window. Don't be afraid to recess it into the wall for a better effect. Instead of a window to the outside use a picture. Use a picture of what you would see if a window was there. Or use something that's completely different, I don't care. But here comes the important part: put pies on the window sill. Nice, huh? The only pie thievery (Pie Pirating! Pie-rating! Ahhh... glad I worked that in) would be from your internal customers. If a politician said something like "A chicken in every pot and a pie on every windowsill" I would totally vote for her or him. Because that's a lot of pie (provided they doesn't try to weasel out of it with something like chicken pot pie, which is more of a casserole). Pies on window sills: the next big thing. Watch it explode like fanny packs or SUVs or Interpol or Mac & Jack's or pumpkin futures around Halloween.
