homes and kleptomania

I've always liked to look at other people's houses and decoration; I don't know if that's weird or unusual but I find it really exciting. 
No apologies, I love those TV shows where they tear down insipid homes to build new and deliciously flashy ones. Actually I love all sorts of TV shows, except those really pointless ones like the Jersey Shore etc. My MTV phase is long gone, and thank god for that. But yes, I do love home decoration. Whenever my parents get IKEA catalogs in the mail I'm the first one to read them, I eat them up like tasty little broccolis. Kidding. More like decadent brownies. I've also developed a habit of stealing magazines whenever I'm in the waiting room at the doctors' office, which isn't very often because God blessed me with such unbeatable health. My mother only allows me to steal the home decoration magazines because she wants to read them too. It's a good deal really, but if someone has to take the fall for the stolen magazines it'll be me! And can anyone blame me? Doctors are always late; they make you wait in awkward rooms with outdated wallpapers, old people and bored housewives whose kids have lice. Those bastards! And they expect us not to commit a crime of some sort.
I now realize that I've diverged into a completely different subject, my first thoughts being about home decoration and my last being about my kleptomaniac tendencies.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoy them. I'm already getting ideas for the bang-on loft I'll hopefully have in the future.

i read benediction also. i loved it. i cant read it in the original language tho, i wish i could, i bet the original language has so much power behind just the meaning of the words, because when you write in your native tounge their is always subtle things that make the metaphors more powerful. u have skype or anything?

Mas gostei imenso das fotos e do texto. Muito me ri. Fez a perfeita descrição do consultório do nosso "creepy" médico.
