I don't like this video half as much as the song, but I heard this on a number of times on Saturday night and Sunday and it kind of blew my mind: http://www.krs5rc.com/krs/bands/thegossip/video/SITWOC.mov

was it patently obvious that she meant "monkee" and not "monkey" at the time? because i would've thought curious george before peter tork.

I shouldn't feel bad about this ("just business"), but I'd feel better getting out sooner rather than later and avoiding the inevitable bad feelings and recriminations later on.
kels: h'mmmm....not a bad idea. I've got a car, but I know it's going to take more than one trip.

You are far from alone. People HATED this album when it came out. It's still one of the weirdest things he ever did.
but my favorite period of Miles music is (KoB aside) his late-60s stuff w Wayne Shorter/Ron Carter/Tony Williams/Herbie Hancock etc
OMG yeah. Search them all.http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd300/d369/d36910w212w.jpghttp://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/dre700/e726/e72680fsvew.jpghttp://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd500/d504/d50489c569i.jpghttp://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd500/d504/d50490xj8d1.jpg
And my absolute favorite Miles album is In a Silent Way. Matter of fact, the "In a Silent Way Sessions" box set is incredible all the way through, especially if you're a fan of the album. And me, I haven't gone more than a couple months without listening to it in the last, oh, 12 years.

Nice one, Jay. That back doesn't look TOO too low and neither do the arms, but I think Robyn is right -- and as much as I love low, square, minimalist arms, they don't offer much support, either, for lounging & propping up head to watch TV.
― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:19 (nineteen years ago)

My old roommate and I lived in Atlanta with the worst futon in the world. When folded up into a couch, it pitched people forward so that you basically ended up kind of leaning against it, trying not to slide completely onto the floor. So, since I had a real job at that point, I decided to buy us a couch. Which I did, for $600, from Rooms to Go.
It's a dark blue velour couch, made of seemingly the same stuff that lint brushes are made of. Shortly thereafter, I got a gray, brown, and tan cat (some of you may know her - Sample DeKuyper) who proceeded to cover my new dark blue couch with contrasting cat hair.
THEN my old roommate's huge, idiot boyfriend, who is an inveterate flopper, flopped so hard on the couch that he broke it. Now, six years later, the couch is ripped and so covered in cat hair that we keep a cat-hair covered slip cover on it at all times, and has a huge black hole on one side so you kind of have to curl up in the hole if you want to use that end of the couch and the pillow back cushions are all warped and bizarre and it's uncomfortable and creepy and causes back pain.
The moral: $600 is a little cheap for a couch that you want to last for more than a couple years. Also, velour is a dumb fabric if you live with furry things.
Also, yes, John, you should totally get a cat. You'll soon stop being scared of it and start acquiring little cat collectibles and talking about your cat as if it was a little furry human.

Our current couch is cheap, lumpy, covered in a slip cover which is constantly covered in dog hair and dogs and, honestly, I'm totally ok with that.

Also, I really wanted to make a shitty D@shboard C0nfessional reference there, but I fought back the urge.
xxpost: Yeah, I don't need depth, but length is key. Failing length, some appropriate rounding or general scaling inclination of the armrests, rather than the squared-off examples above. They're nice couches, mind you.

Also, a pillow back couch is just nonsense, because we basically now have a couch with no back at all, just a collection of flat, worthless pillows.
I had a sofa bed hand-me-down from a cousin when I lived in Delaware the last time. I left it in my third floor apartment when I moved to Atlanta because you try and carry a sofa bed down three narrow, winding, flights of stairs. Gross.

But I like the style, and would probably get a slip cover roughly the same color as the balls of cat hair I find around the apartment (although I'd prefer something that would look right at home in Norma Desmond's bedroom from Sunset Boulevard). But we can't afford a new couch any time soon so I'm just dreaming, dreaming, dreaming.
xpost: White sofas. I have a white husband, and I'm okay with that.

Is she so insecure as to think that she could lose her boyfriend as easily as spilling grape juice? That's either a terrible metaphor or a terrible attitude towards SOs.
