Getting off my sports high horse of last week, figured its about time to more random things. How random? Excessive Amounts of Pillows Random.For the past two weeks my roomates (Parents) left town for Italy. They left me in charge of the other roomate (Dog) Martha.
For the few of you that may not know my dog Martha, she is quite the diva. She demands two treats a day. She demands her water bowl be filled with cold water and constantly updated. She demands three full length walks around the block so she can bark at other dogs and her arch nemesis - the squirrel. Martha is a creature of habit. If any of these trends are changed with my parents out of town, her reaction is to go down to the basement and shit her brains out.
What does this have to do with excessive amounts of pillows? My parents and Martha sleep upstairs. I (in order to complete the stereotype of being a 20-something blogger who lives at home) sleep in the basement. But out of fear that I'll come home to find Martha looking sheepish and the basement smelling of feces, I've temporarily relocated upstairs to make her happy. And in all of the guest rooms I've noticed there are a minimum of five pillows per bedroom.
Why the fuck do I need this many pillows?! There are 8 pillows in one of the rooms. Even if two people are sleeping there, eight? Four pillows a person?
Commentor Colleen said this is to give the bedroom a "fluffy and cozy" look to it. My response? I don't care what the bed looks like, I just want it comfortable. A bed should have no more than four pillows. Anything else is excessive and stupid.
VERDICT:
OVERRATED
Agree. Wholeheartedly agree.
ReplyDeleteYou're forgetting the one thing excessive amounts of pillows are good for (notwithstanding commentator Colleen's explanation): pillow fights. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Taylor!
ReplyDeleteTomO, I liked that you included a photo of your bedroom for the blog post... nice personal touch.
hahahaha....yeah right Colleen.
ReplyDeleteWe all know damn well my bedroom is a cold dreary place with nothing but Regular Nintendo, White Sox shit, and the Emperor from Star Wars pes dispenser.
my bed only requires 2 pillows, 1 for my head, and the other for my wife, or when she's not there to grab and pretend that what i'm squeezing is one of her healthy bosoms...
ReplyDeleteMy bed has 5 pillows. get over it. i need something to prop me up if i wanna do homework [/play on fb] in bed!
ReplyDeleteWhy did you post that at 6 am Nicoley? That seems really really late. Or early. Either way its pretty unorthodox.
ReplyDeleteAnd its called a chair or a couch. The only perk i could see having that many pillows is for making forts. Cause c'mon, who doesn't love fortS?
