A $225 stool? Um...damn.

Just to throw it out there -- the piling of "Shame on you for not loving living things and only caring about material possessions you heartless philistine!" comments on Modfan is a bit much. Pets are not for everyone. My family never had a pet growing up -- parents didn't want animals in the house, period. Too much mess.

I, however, always wanted a dog. Then I walked dogs for a while and realized that I wanted a pet, but not a dog. Dogs are too dependent for me. So I got a cat, and I've become (rather ironically) a bit dependent on him!

Bruno has changed my home life in one very big way; I've always been creeped out by the idea of living alone, and have put up with the necessary inconvenience (if not evil, hah) of roommates. But thanks to Bruno and the month-early departure by my previous roomie, I've got a taste for living alone, and am taking the plunge, moving into my first solo studio apartment in a few weeks.

Bruno is just enough company for me. People need/want pets for different reasons. Some people don't need or want them at all. Their life is no less full than yours; they just have different priorities.

That being said -- if this wasn't already clear, I friggin' adore my cat and I don't regret adopting him for a second.

Oooooh, I love that couch! Any ideas on a cheaper, similar-looking model? Something that comes in a light charcoal gray, perhaps... ;-)

Any time! Thanks for covering this. My roommate and I found some kickass art deco tin ceiling tiles salvaged from an abandoned bowling alley. They're going to make *great* wall hangings. Hee!

Oh darn, someone beat me to it. I missed that link in the previous post...must have been reading too fast. :-x

Defining Moments in Photography is really great...they have one piece by Jeff Wall that has me pretty excited to go down to the Art Institute next week and check out their exhibit of his work.
