Bookchair doesn’t sound as good as Bibliochaise
As I was coming up the creepy spiral stairs at the library this morning, I was reflecting on a conversation I had just had. I had been hit with one of those waves of feeling – the kind where you realize you had seemingly channeled your mom. Not only did I sound like her, but I acted like her too, during this brief dialog with my coworker.
This has been happening with increasing frequency since high school. At first it was the occasional motion (the best of which is captured on national television when I went to RAW Is WAR, and was startled by The Undertaker directly behind me.
Anyway, the point is, I was thinking about how I’m turning into my mom. Only not – I’m definitely like her, but with the changes that come from being my own person, growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, traveling a different life path, etc. (Also, I don’t have her curls, something I’m still bitter about.) But like her enough that I’m pleased about it.
Then I had A Big Thought. It occurred to me that any child I have will probably be a lot like me. An insecure feeling swept me up. I thought to myself, “Am I good enough of a person to let that happen?”
Then I was all like “shit, yeah”, and continued walking up the stairs.
Much like the Cave Bookcase, this is the next in what I perceive to be a long line of library-inspired furniture:

Oooh, I covet…that is cozy, it just needs a reading lamp.
this solves the problem of running out of room on bookshelves, too! I wonder what the seat material is…it looks like vinyl, which would not be ideal IMO. I like the color, though.
That’s it. I’m having my father make one.
