As an "end of the holidays treat" I took the AB and her friend to the cinema to see Twilight , it's all the go with the tweens, a vampire love story type thingy. The film is very slow and very dull but the Washington State scenery is amazing and the house the vampire family live in is amazing. One of those modern glass and wood structures, all clean sweeping lines.
And it started me thinking that your activities would be restricted if you lived in a house like that. Not no sex on the sofa, because the neighbours could see in ! - it's in the middle of the woods. No, becuase certain activities just would feel wrong , you couldn't sit in that perfect modernist sitting room in your jammies, watching cartoons and eating baked beans out of a tin. It would just be wrong on a cosmic level. In fact I'm not convinced that the house would permit tv watching at all, it would prefer you to read books and listen to Debussy! If you tried to cook a burger in the open plan , stainless steel kitchen the fridge would open up and consume you in anger. Burcher muesli would be the only permitted breakfast cereal. Beautiful to look at but having a house that you had to live up to would be hard work.

Lippy, I think you could indulge in lounging about in your jammies, if and only if, they were top-shelf sort.
You know, a dressing gown from La Perla with a silky chemise or gown beneath it and, obviously, heels. Granted, your hair must be done and you'd be wearing make up...it's a small sacrifice don't you think?
I have to admit I didn't take much notice of the Cullen's house in Twilight, I was too busy drooling over Robert Pattinson...!
And of course, you'd have to have a Barcelona chair which no one sat in because it's too uncomfortable. Then there's the ceiling lights which require scaffolding to change the bulbs. I love the 'Modernist' look but it would have to be tempered with practicality before I'd even consider living in such a house.
Ha ha, All I remember about the film was the scenery, the house, and the cars.
I didn't think much of the movie, but the book is very good.
Not just your brain hun looks like you have gone awol as well ; )
