Marbelous

I have another confession to make, Internet. I am terrible at picking out tables– I put it off as long as I can, I will buy a couch before picking out a table, and even then it takes me six months to commit to a couch.

When I lived in Denver, I went months and months without a table, not even a desk! I had kitchen counters and a side table, that was as flat as it got in my home.

But lo! I have found a table that I would gladly welcome into my home; behold:

I swear my fascination with this table has nothing to do with the year I spent living across from a ball bearing factory. Ok, maybe just a little bit.

What’s your idea of the perfect table? And are there any items of furniture you find it difficult to select?

The last few days of rain and autumnal gloom have lulled my memories back to Göteborg. I haven’t paid it much mind over the last few years– I finished my MFA and didn’t really look back afterward.

But here I am, back in Baltimore after a move back from Sweden, and two three 1500mi+ moves. I’m meeting and reconnecting with tons of people, so all of the ground I’ve covered in the last ten years is getting shuffled around in the foreground of my mind more than usual. But today, today felt like another day in Göteborg.

Here is how I remember parts of it:
