My father’s house has only three bedrooms
Jun. 3, 2010
I’ve decided that yesterday’s cement factory / office wasn’t really homey enough for me. But it’s okay, because I’ve already got my eye on a new pad, and this one really is for sale. Here, let me give you a tour.
Pretty swell, huh? Here’s the room where I’ll ride my fixie, giving Kevin Bacon a ride on the handlebars:
This room is for shucking oysters:
Here are the stairs I never use while wearing a skirt:
I’m not sure what I do here. Stare at a big blank circle, I guess, while my beach towels dry.
Hope you liked seeing my new place! Do drop by. We have an open house most Sunday mornings. Sorry if it gets a little awkward when we pass the plate, but you should see our Swiffer bills.

NFSWednesday: taking “industrial” to a new level
Jun. 2, 2010
Happy Not For Sale Wednesday! This week, let’s think about what it would be like to live in an office. And not just any office, but one that used to be a cement factory. To begin with, we have what I will turn into my dining room:
The big cone is the salt dispenser. I really like salt.
Here’s my paintball room:
And finally, here’s the outside. I have a slight problem with ivy.
There you have it — my new home.
Found by: I don’t know. I mean, I found these photos today after looking for them, but I don’t remember where I first heard about a former cement factory being turned into offices and I doubt it came to me in a dream. If you want to take credit, knock yourself out.
Loveliest comment, by noonebutme: seems like it would be hard to keep up an appetite with the possibility of a ton of concrete pouring out over the table at any moment.

The HOA says they might shoot your dog but they’re friendly, really

Awesome? Not awesome? I can’t decide. It’s unusual, and it’s clean, and it’s weird, and it’s sort of pretty. But it’s made out of mud? Or something? I don’t know, I live in a frikkin rain forest (admittedly one with roads and Thai takeout) and I can’t help but think that stucco houses are a practical joke people play on tourists like me. “Oh, sure, we make our houses out of mud, and they last for decades, uh huh…”
Plus there’s the whole problem of it being in New Mexico. Nothing against New Mexico itself, but I get anxious if I’m not near a large body of water — some primal bit of my lizard brain thinks that if everything goes pear-shaped I’ll be able to retreat to the sea. So maybe it’s not for me, even if the house is “healthy mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually” whereas my current house is in therapy and has been for years with no sign of progress.
“The home is located in the famous Greater World Community established by Mike Reynolds – the progenitor of Earshships. For various reasons, this community is the only one like it in the world!” says the listing. Various reasons. You know, stuff. Just… stuff.
Oh, I tease. I really do think it’s awesome. You can read more about their planned community here and here and pretty much everywhere.

Loveliest exchange:
SM: It’s a little like a kindergarten with those graphic representations – this is a window, and here’s a sun shape so you know! This is a fireplace, and here’s a flame shape so you know! Frankly, that’s a little insulting.
Stuart: Imagine what the toilets look like …
