stairwell, read well.

As a frequent gym-goer, I find myself staring at those sweaty souls who brave the stair master in admiration, respect, and in sheer bewilderment. I for one have no tolerance for mindless climbing, especially when a machine is setting my pace. Although I absolutely hate the burning sensations stairs have on my legs, I pleasantly enjoy the thrilling sensation they have on my eyes. Somewhere along the course of my life I became a sucker for irony -  my love of staircases and hatred towards stairs is just a day in the life around here. Typical.

Guaranteed if the stairs at the gym were this interesting, my buns and thighs would be unstoppable.

Couple  a fun-loving stairwell with some heavily stacked book shelves, and you may literally steal my heart.

Anyone know where I can order this last shelving unit?

Oh don't be such a square.

I recently watched Lord of the Rings for the first time (yes, and I wiped all the dirt off my body from living under a rock for seven years), and the only thing I really took away from the movie was the rad hobbit house. Circular doors, rounded hallways, windows and frames - everything a hobbit could ever want or need. Consider this my J. R. R. Tolkien-inspired vow to avoid a boring cube of a home at all times.

the best part is, you don't have to be  a two foot small, shoeless hobbit to live like one.
