Like Water For Honkies

I just bought new curtains. How 'bout that?

My former window treatment consisted of cheap lemon-colored "drapes" from IKEA. ( I put "drapes" in quotes, because drapes are supposed to be heavy, tweedy and substantial, at least in my mind's eye. These things were flimsy, like tourniquet gauze or a $2 flag. You may remember them from the infamous "Shroud of Douchepacker" photo.)

Anyway, Jonny had bitched about the drapes recently, and I concurred. So today, during a break from writing, I trolled the housewares aisle at Target and found some nice, shiny, embroidered cinnibar-and-fuschia curtains in the popular "White Folks Pretending to Be Sensual and Ethnic" style. I might as well sign up for bellydancing classes and buy an Erotic Tabla CD while I'm at it. Oh, but my living room looks so warm and exotic.
