Laundryroom Swapmeet

That’s a pillow.  It’s red and sort of mottled with a sort of goldish leafy organic patter on it.  I’m guess it was left on the table because someone had given up sleeping.  That is probably not a very accurate guess.

I feel kind of awful about not updating the swapmeet.  Fact is, I’ve been distracted by some other web stuff (e.g. my new Q&A project Big Big Question, which you should, incidentally, check out), and some recurring technical difficulties a while back really took the wind out of my sales regardless.  Also, further excuses A, B, and C.

And now we come to a strange place: I have a small backlog of remain photos from a while back, but that’s not enough to really keep this place going, because something fundamental has happened:

The swapmeet table is gone.  New building manager is pretty anti-swapmeet, apparently.  So it is gone.  Adios.  No more table — and folks have pretty much done no dropping of stuff on the ground where the table used to be, which practically speaking probably just means they’re respecting the anti-swapmeet directive, but I prefer to think that it reveals a sort of magic contained in the swapmeet table itself.

I feel absurd about this, but it’s making me a little sad just to write about it.

So I don’t know what this means for the site.  It’s been seven months since an update as is, with a string of prior gaps before that, and it looks like gap city up ahead unless something changes.
