Is there a dumbwaiter to lower things down to the theater? There should be a dumbwaiter.
I was just about to ask that. Or a snack-sized set of pneumatic tubes.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

The whole place is intended to be party-central.
But wait, isn't Tim a hermit?

What does NASA jokingly call the demon who lives near Mars and likes to trash spacecraft?
Mars.
Andre Coudrescu had a very funny bit on NPR ages ago requesting that the martians quit trashing our stuff.

Obviously I need to talk to Daniel about getting to LA again.
Too bad Tim forget to put a sticky floor in the theater, though. It's the little details.
I had the same dumbwaiter idea, heh. Then ita could be in the theater and get magic pizza from the sky. Which seems pretty awesome.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Apparently, Tim wasn't always a hermit. he house has been like, six years in the making and he's been living in a construction zone or various apartments while the work was being done.
He definately likes being home, but loves company (despite anything he says to the contrary, he's a wonderful host).

I really wish I had brought my camera. Will take pics next time. It's sooo beautiful. The detail work on the tile and the doors and the windows is lovely. And everything is so OPEN. The office has two sets of french doors that open onto a deck overlooking the pool and garden, the dining room opens onto a patio in the same way. There's skylights and such to bring natural light into the main entry way.
But I kept getting lost and forgetting where I was in relation to the rest of the house.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That does sound just gorgeous. I want an office like that.
My office will be westfacing, so I'll get some of the not-best light, but we're going to put trellises and a grapevine out there to temper it. But I don't mind getting some of the light, because I'm cold a lot of the time and welcome the extra heat.
We put the SO and his recording studio at the east side of the house 'cause he's become an early bird and me at the west side because I'm a night owl.

The status is NOT quo.
The house sounds gorgeous!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yikes! Bad news for NYC sushi aficionados: Staggering Levels Of Mercury Found In Top NYC Sushi Spots
Recent laboratory tests found so much mercury in tuna sushi from 20 Manhattan stores and restaurants that at most of them, a regular diet of six pieces a week would exceed the levels considered acceptable by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Sushi from 5 of the 20 places had mercury levels so high that the Food and Drug Administration could take legal action to remove the fish from the market. The sushi was bought by The New York Times in October.
