feeling a little more human
after realising my blogging addiction, and the possible consequences of actually just posting shite, and never getting anythign really tangible up. i decided to leave it all behind and go for a walk.
theres never a better time to get out in the crisp air than when you;re a bit cinfused about what your'e meant ot be blogging. then, walking past a dumpster, i discovered this chair. something to be saved, somehting i could rejuvinate that doesn't require me to sit in front of a computer and type my life away.
here is something i ahve taken from potential landfill into my care, for a sand, bog, oil and polish. and possibly a re-apholster, if i get as far as i hope.

oh - and if anyone wants evan's (the chair's) black brother, i can tell you where the dumpster is. or even bring it into uni.
does it have to end up as a chair? "what else could it be?"
evan is currently being used to hold my dirty pub smelling clothes which were chucked there last night as i stumbled home. and then this morning a friend of mine came round for tea, so for the first time, he was sat in.
but you are right, he could be anything. i was thinking, walking back from uni, that i could just stick a light in the arm and call it a lamp. it would have been a great piece to ressurect for fringe had i ventured into the dump earlier...
but what would that achieve - really... nothing...
i was thinking something more like wat we didnt with brians furnature... chop it all up and turn it into something completely different. that said, jazzed up an old chair in sexy new chair could be a lot of fun...
are you saying evan isn't sexy? he's a bit more sanded down now and looking a little revamped. But, i know what you're talking about. i'll have a think about forms that could be made out of evan. i'll screw off the apholstered bits and see him as a raw frame... he might even come apart without sawing, that would eb nice if he did, if he was just dowels and screws. there are no visible connector things.
and lucky i saved him when i did, because the dumster took all the other lovely rubbish and evan's black brother to a dark grave which is a landfill.
Nooooo! bloody racsist garbage men. And yes, evan is a sexy sexy beast, but i think he still needs a bit of extra 'crazyness'.
ok, i will sex him up. i think its important that we can still see him as evan. i'll get my hands on a screwdriver and take his padding off...
we could even make an episode of "pimp my chair" :p
thats gold. maybe we could put in a phat subwoofer. i'm thinking something which takes the shape of the arms and turns it into something useful again. i want evan to be reborn with new uses, not just soemthing shite and useless - another bit of junk in my room. i'll break him up soon. maybe tomorrow afternoon? i'm looking forward to it!
