Please Do Not Do This
or I will have to give you a piece of my mind like I gave the woman who left this dog in her car for 10 plus minutes (12:36 pm - 12:48pm) on the hottest day of the year with the window only opened a crack. Thank you.

Collector or Hoarder?







The first time I watched Hoarders that creeping, tingling feeling started up the back of my neck followed soon after by the muffling of all outside sound. It was crazy making time. I'm not sure what coping mechanism kicked in next, pacing, going to bed or taking action against that top hat wearing green goblin Mr. Anxiety. Whichever it was, the next day my car was loaded with black garbage bags headed to the local charity shop.
A collector dances a very seductive rumba with the hoarder. Does having a venue to sell one's collections differentiate one from the hoarder?
Twenty years ago this was once a quaint used book shop.

Palm Springs Modern aka Desert Modern
Maybe they've built it as a future back packers hostel in the desert? I don't know, I haven't read the article but Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's "retreat" is 25,000 square feet - see Septermber's Architectural Digest. Please help me understand why?
If you follow Bijou Living on Facebook you have seen some vacation shots from our trip to Palm Springs, as well as the 1700 square foot home we rented. For us, it was the perfect size - even if 15 of them could fit in the Pinkett Smith "retreat".
Here are a few little modernist diddies from PS.

My small list of irritating words and phrases 2011
Back in 2008 I made a list. I'm irritable tonight so here's an updated list. Thanks for listening.
1. ever - For example, 'He's the best singer, ever!' Once best and worst became the words most despised (ever) in online headings, ever stepped right up to take their place. Must be read with juvenile Valley Girl intonation.
2. secret - Secret to the secret secret. Top 10 Best Secrets Ever!
3. liking - I'm liking writing this list. Is bad grammar okay now? Or is this new grammar? Please see the table under stative verbs here.
4. _____ up - tweetup, mashup, startup, meetup, pony up (?)
5. Facebook me.
