Dear chrismundell.com,
What items are currently on your nightstand?
Signed,
A faithful cm.com reader.
Great question, A.F.C.M.D.C.R!
There is an old 13″ TV that is rarely used for how huge it is.
On top of the TV, 2 photographs of my late Mom. She doesn’t have a punctuality problem. She’s has died.
Also, atop the TV, is my guitar tuner and all my C.S. Lewis books. I have read the Narnia books to my kids this year. After reading Tolkein, Narnia seems like something Tolkein could have sneezed out by accident. “HaaaaCHoooooo! No way: Dawn Treader.” I like Narnia though.
Next to the TV is a small IKEA desk lamp. The halogen bulb will burn the flesh from your metatarsals if you’re not careful!
Keep in mind, my nightstand is actually a chest of drawers made for a 12 yr old.
I should really look into grownup furniture.
I read with baited breath the list of items on your nightstand. I only have three items. A lamp from Lamps Plus, a cordless phone in its base and an electronic Sudoku game, one of those cheap things you can buy at Big Lots for $3.
I know you don’t care one iota about my nightstand. I just used the info as a way to introduce the real reason I’m commenting… Burning your metatarsals would indeed be a bad thing. However, it would also mean you’re changing your lightbulbs with your feet. Metatarsals are toes. If you’re referring to your fingers, you would be burning your metacarpals. I only know this from my high school anatomy teacher.
Does this comment make me funny, knowledgeable or just plain snotty? I sincerely hope it’s the first two choices!
I know metatarsals are toes, Andy! Just you try and not burn your toes on that lamp on my nightstand!!
