Fashion (Turn to the left!)
While anxiously awaiting my delivery of The Sims 3, I obsessed about the rowhouse I'm moving into this summer. I once stayed in this gorgeously decorated B&B (their photos come nowhere close to doing it justice) that struck me as not unlike what Janice Covington and Melinda Pappas' house would look like (it certainly didn't hurt that they had a '30s station playing on satellite radio). Ever since, it's been in the back of my mind to decorate my house like that of a pulp archaeologist. I love the mixture of classic dark woods with mementos from adventures and art deco—perhaps some art nouveau—accents, which is why BioShock is basically like porn for me. (I don't know if BioShock 2 will be a very good game, but I'm confident that it will be a very pretty one, and that's more than enough for me.) And here's a porthole mirror, in case anyone (certainly not me!) wanted to decorate a la Rapture.

I am in love with this adjustable lamp (from JCPenney, of all places), and I do need one for my desk. (I also need a real desk, but that'll be a bit costlier.) I also need wall hangings. I already have Greg Maletic's Tomorrowland poster, and I could pair it with some of Steve Thomas' work (esp. World's Fair Shanghai, Sail Neptune, Venus by Air). Here are more sfnal travel posters for you to admire (hat tip to thelastgoodname, if I remember correctly). Also: Futurism, building a fake future in hopes that the real future will show up to mate with it. And because I have a little Marxist in me, the Fraternal League of Robotic Persons.

I'm thinking about getting a Griffin RocketFM to transmit music from my computer to a Crosley radio downstairs (that's right, my new apartment has two floors!), but I'm not quite sure if that would be a good investment, given that I will have to share with a roomie. I barely spend any time in my living room at present, largely because my computer is not there, but I'd like to change that, so we'll see. Also, is this globe not thoroughly awesome? (Albeit impractical for this stage of my life.)

(And I officially changed my "real life" tag to "meatspace," because the interwebs are definitely part of my real life.)
