Over the weekend we built something approximating the desk of my dreams. Since deciding on the office I've been able to take more seriously some work-related ideas I've harbored for some time. Ideas including the acquisition of a large, angled, eight-foot long desktop where I could draw. So, I took a look around. I looked online, mostly, craigslist and the like, and I didn't find anything all that special. I had the idea it might be possible to build this desk in my head, but not being handy makes me dependent on some serious help. The help came, and so did the desk. On Friday we picked up lumber from Copps Buildall. On Saturday we built the skeletal structure and on Sunday we stained, re-constructed parts of it, and then finally attached the linoleum desktop. Seeing it emerge from mere lumber was nothing short of a wonder. Some pictures here, more coming. ¶ This week's illustration is brought to you by private eye inspiration: Mickey Rourke in Angel Heart. Released just over twenty years ago.
