@Realcalm Some of us have hearts that skip at gas masks. Live a little, you must be a real treat at parties. From the Random House dictionary: "CURATE - to pull together, sift through, and select for presentation, as music or Web site content". Jessica is welcome to curate anything she'd like.
Also: chick tracts are anti-everything, its no use being offended. It's a little like getting mad at rain for being wet. I have boxes of the things and I'm a gay cynic, so take that as you must. I can't pass a streetcorner zealot without grabbing a handful.

I am a big fan of Angelpoise knock-off lamps. The Ikea Tertial is a little batty, but you get what you pay for - it needs some hacking to be functional, but at $9, you can't really go wrong.

Yea, once the kids figure out the magic of stuffing dryer sheets into a paper towel tube, illicit goings on will happen. This will be around the same time the horomones kick in, so hanky-panky will also be assured.

Someone else mentioned the Eames side chair, which was my first though. Institutional chairs in that vein (stackable, pre-80's office/school workaday seats) make a nice contrast to the classic elements.

Not having the elevated M tracks right outside during open-window months woudl be nice, but we should've seen that coming. When looking at apartments in November, be sure to open the windows.

I used to live near Reed college (just off Holgate blvd, to anyone familiar with the Portland area), in a neighborhood of very plain Cape Cod saltbox houses, but on the edge of an odd Eichler-style encampment - blocks of these mid-century houses, seemingly dropped in from California amongst the pines & rain.
