No words

Just giddily excited by this object/s.

I own a Hoberman sphere because I just find it brilliant and exciting every time I play with it. I collapse with joy every time I use my iPod Touch, and the moment on Wednesday afternoon when I thought I'd lost it was the worst moment of the year so far. I have a bunch of steel roses in a vase in my room. I have a tablespoon stamped with the original ODEON logo which my grandmother found over fifty years ago in an unknown location, and I've not found anything about cinema cutlery on the web, so I'm stumped but I love it.

All these things are object which excite me, both visually and interactively. I smile like a goon every time I measure out olive oil on my special spoon. The roses make a corner of my room feel like a Terry Gilliam set. The sphere confuses my brain, and I can climb inside it (which is the definition of cool). The iPod is just the iPod, and therefore brilliant in and of itself.

I desperately want a play with these little objects. They make me happy.
