Moving in

 

Living room
Boxes crowd the living room.

Living room
The door at the tile entryway is the front door to the house.

Kitchen
Not really much moving going on here, it’s just a look at the kitchen.

Kitchen
There’s a monitor there because I had set up a temporary video dubbing station there so I could get some work done while moving other stuff in.

Dining room
The dining area contains a wood burning stove (!), and it leads into the kitchen, the utility room, and the back door to the deck.

Living room
The open door leads to the master bedroom.

Outside
The view from the deck behind the house. The pond isn’t on our property, although we do have a small pond behind our barn.

Outside
Most of the land in this picture is our property. And those black things on the hillside? Those are known as cows (not ours, though).

Corner
Around the corner from the kitchen is an empty space where we plan to put a china cabinet.

Corner
A little alcove leads into the master bath, a spare bedroom, and the magical place known as the game room.

Game room
My game room/office takes shape.

Game room
The consoles come out of hiding: you can see the 5200, Intellivision and Colecovision here.

Game room
In case you can’t tell by the fact that desk isn’t taking up the entire room, this is, in fact, quite a bit bigger than the old game room. So much so that there will now be two steel shelves: the one with blue rope lights that you’ve already seen, and this one with an unearthly green glow.

Utility room
At right, a peek into the unusually spacious utility room. Since arcade games and laundromats go together naturally, this looks like a fine space for a few coin-ops. If anyone can figure out how I could make a convincing case for that, please let me know!

So…turn Gilligan’s Island into a reality show, will you?

 

I’ve been kinda half-watching this show tonight – haven’t turned the sound up once except out of curiosity to hear how they’d butcher the classic theme song – and it just looks like reheated Survivor leftovers to me.

Then I got to thinking…what other shows would be good reality programming?

And then it hit me.

The Prisoner
THE PRISONER.

Somewhere between Amazing Race and Boiling Point. Add psychedelia and metaphors (though probably miserably watered down from the original). There’s already a substantial music library.

I don’t know quite how one would do the Rover thing though. Unless you dress Joe Don Baker up in white sweats or something.

And admittedly, the whole brainwashing/torture/truth serum/gassing people into unconsciousness thing would be a bit troublesome.

But I could almost see it.
