pole of dreams

while hmc was out last weekend at danger’s bachelorette party i decided to rip apart the house.

first out, that damn coffee table.

once long ago beloved, a simple ikea coffee table that i spray painted gold and then stenciled. however, i forgot to seal it, so the paint’s been flaking off for the past eight years. and now it’s just a place to store crap in our living room.

no more.

out.

second, out with all these electronics that i never use.

sony playstation and 100 some games? out. audio cassette deck? out. vcr? out. automated turntable? ooooh, tough, but out.

this allows me to consolidate the amp, the tivo, and the dvd changer into the tv stand. then i can push the ginormous drafting table into the corner.

voila: more space in the living room!

but what do we do with all these space?

apparently there was a stripper pole dancing class as part of danger’s weekend activities. sure, classes are nice, but when and where do you practice? it turns out that the poles are not that expensive, only $100 or so. but you need the space to practice and swing around.

hey, now we got nothing but space.

like hmc said, “if you build it, they will come.”
