Lamp needs shade, part 2Category: stuff
Scored a totally awesome lamp shade at A's house today when I dropped nisha off... But it is way too big for the lamp. Darn. In other news, A's little brother backed over an azalea bush in uncle dudley's yard last night. I think she's asking him to replace the azalea, including digging out the old one, and he has to be good to A for a whole year. Not quite sure how his treatment of A fits into the amends...

Burdette, in a resplendent red coat, took a step forward into the arena. The crowd watched in anticipation as the gates smashed open. The bull rushed at her at a dizzying speed. Her sympathetic nervous system was signalling desperately, but she ignored it. This was HER moment!
Alas, it wasn't. She broke her left femur.

Could someone write a 55-word nanofiction that would give the back story?
:-)
(don't know why this didn't rotate properly. Am I doing something wrong?)

Hurricane lamp galleryCategory: home
Uncle Dudley has quite a collection of hurricane lamps. The green one is one of a pair that are mine. Bonus classified ad in the weekly rag.

:::link::: Any lamp with the tall chimney is referred to as a hurricane lamp. She has quite a nice collection. I think I like the blue one best. oooh, just realized one is on my phone but didn't make it to estrip.

Why are they called hurricane lamps? Aren't all hurricane lamps supposed to light up without electricity?

Those are some pretty lamps.
Those are some pretty lamps.
My favourite books right now are Simon Doonan's awesome body of work.
I don't know about that. If "boyfriend" oversize blazers can be a fashion statement, so can oversize lamp shades. Lamp shades are an extension of personal fashion.
(Can you tell I have been reading one too many fashion blogs? In fact, I am obsessed with fashion blogs now. They are such a hoot!)
Uncle Dudley said it's an azalea but I can't tell them apart. (Oh, just read that azaleas are a specific kind of rhododendron :::link:::)
(e:tinypliny) - the shade is too big for the lamp! It is a smashing shade tho. It's currently perched on top of another lampshade on a very plain pole lamp. Uncle Dudley said there's a lamp in her living room that would be flattered by the shade but since I just inventoried almost every lamp in her house, I can't figure out which one. Maybe that boy with grapes (see two posts down).
sucks about the shade, but i have hope you will find it!
that bush looks like a rhododendron to me, no?
The lamp looks capital!
Heh, Uncle Dudley sounds like the aunts in Saki's works. ;-)
