i want to get this cuckoo clock
As found on craigslist. Roommates B and M say it's too weird and doesn't match the decor.
Decor be damned, I say! Pros: measuring time has never been so much fun! It's a a great hit at parties! Cons: cartoon cats may try to eat bird! Annoying chirping on the hour! I still think it's a great timepiece, though I haven't actually HEARD this chirping yet. Thoughts?
Oh, btw, a very belated happy new year. High on my list of resolutions is to be a better blogger (or quit altogether, since my life is much less interesting now that I'm not based in exotic locales), stop procrastinating, write a "new year" blog entry and clean up this whole site, especially the portfolio bit that potential grad admissions committees may be checking out. To be done this weekend, I suppose (oops, already violating the "stop procrastinating" resolution).

I think that's an EXCELLENT cuckoo clock. Who cares if it chirps (I think a fine challenge for you would be to make it growl instead of chirp)...it will be a great addition to your apartment's decor.
