Tiny homes!



Each cost an average of $200 to make! The roofs are transparent so you can gaze at the treetops. Windows are made from old washing machines!

Says Mr. Diedricksen... “I built it thinking it might be a place for people to stay who were drunk or annoying, so I didn’t want them staying in the Vermont cabin with me. I had envisioned all these microstructures as places to sleep for the people who say, ‘Oh, I forgot my sleeping bag.’ Almost like the Ewok village, all these little micro-shelters dotting my land"...

I'm drunk and annoying! Where's my tiny house??!

Are you in love? What are you reading?






"The questions I would have liked to ask people were: ‘Are you in love? What are you reading?"... Francoise Sagan, "A Certain Smile"

Haunted



"One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place."

Emily Dickinson

(Possibly) haunted houses via 100 Abandoned Houses.

Patti Smith















"I believe that we, that this planet, hasn't seen its Golden Age. Everybody says its finished ... art's finished, rock and roll is dead, God is dead. Fuck that! This is my chance in the world. I didn't live back there in Mesopotamia, I wasn't there in the Garden of Eden, I wasn't there with Emperor Han, I'm right here right now and I want now to be the Golden Age ... if only each generation would realise that the time for greatness is right now when they're alive ... the time to flower is now"

"These are notes that I post around New York City from a mysterious man named Chris. Chris wants to do tedious things with people. He also has lots of problems."
