So I put up this new lamp in my apartment. I like it because I called to me from the shelf at Ikea. “Take me home with you, I will brighten your nights!” The accent was in a French voice, like one from a guy that you would think is a dick if you saw him drinking coffee outside a Starbucks in Silverlake, man I hate that dude. So the voice said let’s do it and now I don’t know if I like the lamp becuse it reminds me of the old gym lights. The ones we would all try and kick with the basketball to see if we could make the cage fall off, or the one thing I remember about gym lights is that they took sooooo long to come on. But also the lamp looks like I’m waiting to Interrogate someone, or just a little to “rapey”. So I guess in all I nailed the look I was going for.
