You'd think I'm in a library when I'm in a check-out line.

I used to watch all of the home improvement shows on DSC and my eyes were snared by the pristine vistas featured in the "architectural porn" offered by pulp-pushers like these. <br /><br />My home is tidy, but the thing that weened me from this type of porn is the realization that I cannot afford that volume of wasted space, and, that while tidy, the accents that make the home amazing would look 'well used' within a short period of time in my hands.<br /><br />My porn is free. I have a serious writing instrument and paper fetish. In the office supply magazines I receive, I pore over the latest pens and drool over the papers that are available, though I probably have more pens than I could use in a lifetime and, as far as paper is concerned, have no commercial purpose, outside of business cards, that would require me to purchase a paper above recyclable grade.<br /><br />I could go on to write a book about the pens and papers I love, and maybe someday I shall, but in the mean time, I'll say that I have a severe office supply fetish focused on writing instruments and, to a lesser degree, the paper they write upon.<br /><br />At least my "porn" is free and doesn't degrade anything with the capacity to have feelings.<br /><br />My 2ยข.Matt Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558306922270750204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-10790744830779393992009-10-28T18:51:50.190-04:002009-10-28T18:51:50.190-04:00Well, if it's research, it's a writeoff, r...Well, if it's research, it's a writeoff, right?

I can't remember now, it's been several years. I do remember though, all the hoops she jumped through to get that spotless, museum look the magazines showcase. <br /><br />I looked at the picture of the perfect antique oak dining table and thought "wow! didn't look like that two weeks ago when we had craft stuff piled all over it and all through the room" so I can tell you from experience, they don't all look that good all the time.<br /><br />Since you got some great ideas from this though, I think it was money very well spent.
