Tue 19th Oct : Addressing The List

Skrspeak41Last night I took home 2 KidRobot 'little men speakers' I received for favors offered, uh-hum, and set them up in the living room/apt. The Lady convinced herself that they went well with her post-modern concrete minimalist look and said "Awww, they're so cute!' A verbal pat on the head, indeed!

When she surprised me by making me listen to a new (signed!) Duran Duran CD, the noise that comes out of these so-cool-it-hurts speakers was a but tinny. Either they are (a) crap or (b) I should plug them into a system that also has bass speakers. Nevertheless, when I unplugged the speakers and consigned them to sit unused by my PC until we move city, I made the decision that I should show some interest in the home and therefore address at least one point in the Lady's list.

Starckdowntown1I'm not too sure I should take any inspiration from Philippe Starck and maybe - although I am sure the Lady sympathizes - I won't take a leaf out of these guys' book for the windows.

Hmmm. It's so complicated. Where do I start? Maybe I should leave it up to the Lady after all and pop down the shop. In fact I now have an excuse to visit Myers of Cheswick - the British store. It appears that classic British packaging inspires New York designers. I'm trying to work out how that gives me an excuse to eat Myers' Pork Pies though.

(As long as I don't come home like this I think I'll get away with it!)
