Because today was garbage day in Centretown and look what I found!
It’s practically art all by itself without any help from me. But if I had a car, this would be sitting in my living room right now, whatever it is.
Tomorrow I’m going to take dry socks to work and leave them there for a rainy day because today I walked to work in the rain and then I spent all day in cold wet socks.
On the bright side, my colleagues said my hair looked good. We all agreed that that we like that slept-in, wind-swept, bed-head look because none of us knows how to do our hair.
When I travel with my older sister I’m always in awe that she has a whole suitcase full of hair tools and styling aids. She’s in awe that I bring coffee and a coffee maker. (That’s because I went to Greece for three weeks once and found out that there are whole countries with no coffee in them.)
Anyway. I do travel light, but I usually remember my pants.
I like the way it’s tied to a post so it won’t run (creak?) away.
And re the picture – but she didn’t have soggy socks all day!
Artsy Fartsy folk in Centretown eh!?
Oh, Zoom, I tried to bring that home too! When I went by it again after work, I saw a fellow striping wires out of it!
Is it some kind of equipment from a drycleaner….looks like an ironing board on top:)
…as a gentleman I totally would’ve offered her my pants. If I was wearing any.
That thing looks like a runaway robot from a japanese anime film!!!
awesome!
What is that thing? Maybe used in a tanning salon or a dry clearner?
Its a Ghidinni self contained utility/legger pants press that has been pretty much dismantled. Must have come from a dry cleaning shop. The bottom buck and work deck is missing. Complete and in new working order, that unit would be worth around 12 to 15 thousand dollars. As is, it’s scrap. Art?! Well, sure, why not, if it moves you.
So, really, Zoom, your entire post was about pants, whether you knew it at the time or not. What serendipitous intuition!
The pants comment sounds like you’d been reading the Fug Girls. It is one of my guilty pleasures.
David B, yes, it is kind of cool that they tethered it. I suspect it has a tendency to roam.
Woodsy – if only we’d found it together, we probably could have managed it together. I enjoyed watching over the next few days as it got gutted and cannibalized for parts.
Lola – you’re right!
Gabriel – I would have loved to have watched as you offered her your pants.
Mudmama – a runaway robot from a japanese anime film is exactly what it would have become if I’d been able to drag it home.
J – you guessed it!
Darcy – see, this is what I love best about blogging. It’s the perfect vehicle for connecting people with questions with people with answers. Thanks for responding with all the juicy details.
Coyote, maybe EVERYTHING is about pants, did you ever think of that??
Julia – I’ve never read The Fug Girls – I’ll check it out.
There are now two photos of womens’ behinds on your blog’s front page. I may have to read more often.
Ooh! Thanks for the reminder; I brought home my spare pair of socks from work.
