Jan. 27, 2006 - A solution for all the problems in the world....

Today I did something that I haven't done in many a moon. I visted the temporary Plaster Fun House at a nearby shopping centre. My friend, Lizzy and I had spotted it several days earlier and committed to going there today.

I walked in there all cocky thinking- "I'm now an adult so I don't have to wear a smock. I can spend as much as I want on my plaster. I can afford to buy the vials of metallic paint. I will be able to paint in the lines. I have some concept of colour schemes". It was an awesome experience. Lizzy and I discussed all sorts of things but I must say, its not as easy to get the paint within the little areas as you think.

We soon made friends with the girls at our table. Gabby and Sarah (who were both going into year 6) as well as Camilla and Jess (who were going into year 3).

Lizzy and I are both doing rather dry courses at uni- commerce and business/accounting respectively. As we sat at the table we had no idea where to start. Uni and in particular our courses, have sucked out any sense of creativity. We sat there wondering where to start and what colour to paint each section. Gabby, Sarah, Camilla and Jess sat down and got straight into it. Lizzy and I also assumed we were restricted to the colours already made up in the jars before us but NO! They give you your plaster on a piece of old paper for a reason- that be mixing paper!

Funnily enough, a day earlier at work, Lizzy, Erin (another girl I work with) and myself were discussing what we perceive as being 'romantic' as we set up the Valentine's display at the front of the shop. Erin was more traditional and loved the idea of red roses and going out to dinner. Lizzy and I couldn't think of anything worse. Erin asked us what our idea of a cool date would be and we couldn't give her an answer. But now we can. I couldn't think of a better place to go for a first date than the Plaster Fun House! First of all, in inviting the guy, you get a glimpse at his ability to do things that are a bit silly and perhaps not directed at our age group. Secondly, if you run out of things to talk about you can just pretend you're really focused on what colour to paint parts of your plaster. Thirdly, if the date is just plain old shit, you only have to be there for as long as it takes you to paint your plaster and since painting plaster is fun, it cancels out the boring sod sitting next to you.

A Plaster Fun House is not only ideal for first dates, it could also be an excellent idea for prospective political discussions. I mean really, do you think that George W Bush and Jalal Talabani wouldn't be able to resolve their differences while hunched over a small plaster garden gnome? It would be very difficult to keep a firm grip on one's ego when one hand is clutching a paint brush, the other clutching a small pot of paint and there is a great deal of concentration directed at painting the gnome's hat. Finally, a place where they can abandon all the false bullshit associated with maintaining a certain image of power and authority. Leave that rubbish behind and put on a smock, Uncle Sam!

Anyway, so that's how I spent an hour of my day today and it was absolutely awesome. So very therapeutic. I implore you to seek out the closest Plaster Fun House near you and let loose.
