I looked at the cable one on Youtube. It said it was relaxing. All I could see was heat being wasted in a fireplace it made me annoyed. I'd rather watch people shining shoes or brushing things with dry paint brushes. It's a stupid way to waste time but calming.

I'd Never Seen The Cable TV Log Loop
I had heard about it but I'd never looked at it. Then Steve Colbert's crew came up with this. It goes on for more than an hour, you'll want to blow it up to read Trump's lie after lie after lie.

I've run the burning logs on Netflix the last 2 Xmases. I'm old enough to remember the idea of TV as the "new fireplace" (something you just stare at). The joke is too good to pass up.
ReplyDeleteI see a fireplace and it reminds me of the time I got invited to a dinner party in the dead of winter and it turned out the guy who invited us decided it would be memorably romantic to use only the fireplace to heat the dining room. We froze, which was good because none of us noticed the food was freezing cold too. I think by comparison it was warmer than we were.
DeleteThere's a reason that as soon as stoves were invented that people gave up fireplaces. I'm a big fan of the stove. If I want to see fire I know how to light a candle.
Well, I come from the land where fireplaces are completely unnecessary and so completely romanticized. Never known one to be worth a shit except as a mantle for stockings. My parents put one in their house after I left, got too old to clean out the ashes, installed a gas log in it, then left it closed up altogether because it was basically a hole in the wall, and they became very sensitive to the cold.
ReplyDeleteNobody I know who has one really likes them, but they are an object of great affection. In the abstract.
I love my wood stove and it's not even the best one I've had. I still keep my 1940s vintage Atlantic Kitchen Heater. I might go back to using it because it's easier to use, though it's theoretically not as efficient. It belonged to my grandfather.
