This suggestion to have a second human with an ear pencil standing by standing is not so much because the ear pencil is essential to complete the job, but it’s good to have another person around to keep you from stabbing yourself with a screw driver (by stabbing you with the pencil first) after you put six screws through the metal frame to the wooden surface, realize one of the legs you attached prior to the screws is wobbly but only three of the screws will come out, and also that the table weighs about 80 pounds and you should have bought the cheap plastic one that was for sale at the actual art store you idiot. You’ll still be miserable but you’ll be too ashamed to exhibit the appropriate facial expression nor admit to the fact that there was an enormous hovering X publicizing your inadequacy moments before.
Well anyheap, now that I have had this table together for a week or deux it’s high time I replaced the deteorating box I’ve been using as chair furniture.
There we are! A much sturdier box. I shall need to teach it some manners, though. A properly polite box waits to be let in.
These are just the esteemed chaps to do it. MTV is associated above all else with thought and introspection which is clearly happening here.
if there’s anything I look for on an internet forum it’s SHOUTING.
Yeah! We’re the hip new generation on the scene! We wear plaid shirts and glasses and we’re LOUD! checkout our massive nostrils!
We eat
Jerk Nuts every days! We keep Scary Spice in our pockets! We hang out with mysterious druids!
Oh no! I said screamer, not-
Ohhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooo

Sorry, the comment form is apologizing at this time.
a kick in the pants sez:
I purchased a new chair as well a few weeks ago (I had previously been using a barstool-ish thing which was a bit too high for my desk), and I must say, it has definitely improved productivity. It appears to be a bit more modest a than yours, but better suited for that ridiculous cross-legged posture I frequently adopt (which was torturous on the barstool-ish thing). The box is also currently serving as furniture (specifically a nightstand) as I was unable to find a piece of legitimate furniture that fit in the appropriate space, whereas the box is almost perfectly dimensioned. I had considered a shelf instead, but I am contractually prohibited from drilling holes in the wall (also, I don’t have a drill). Admittedly, there already are two holes more or less where I might want them were I to put such a plan into effect, but they’re so hilariously non-level with one another that the box is probably more efficient and elegant-looking than such a dopey, slanting shelf would end up being, anyway.
Also, I was far too delighted by the reference to the mysterious druid. I remember encountering something that somehow reminded me of that a month or three ago, but I can’t for the life of me resemble precisely what it was. Considering the ambient mystery surrounding the druids in question, this is only to be expected.

According to my tube, the mysteries of the druids are why a pre-rendered cut-scene needs terribly-rigged regular polygon people in it and why I need to stare at their heads for minutes at a time while they slowly say their lines.

Thinking always involves shouting. That’s why I try to think as loudly as possible. Or I would if I wasn’t lost in thought at the moment.
Zinkugel sez:
I can’t hear you. There’s some violet-hued void vociferating at me incomprehensibly.
PurpleSpace sez:
I would have given you alliteration bonus points had you said vacuously.
Zinkugel sez:
I grow points in my own home and am self-sufficient! I no longer need to depend on your arbitrary handouts!
PurpleSpace sez:
Ah, but are your points sustainable as well? As that is clearly different and therefore better than simply self-sufficient. Have you considered solar or wind-powered points? James Kunstler would even agree that nuclear powered points are more sustainable than trying to further the industry of fossil-sand deposit points.
