Things that would come in handy
June 27th, 2009 | by TJ |Some day, I want a giant canister on the counter in my kitchen.
I’d put some sugar, a hammer, a couple of golf tees, maybe some superglue, definitely some duct tape, a bit of dog food, 16 ponytail holders, yeast, a cat toy, all those vacuum cleaner attachments that never seem to stay with the vacuum, a Paula Abdul cassette tape, rubber bands, some dead batteries, coffee grounds, all those extra buttons and thread that come with shirts and jackets, and some sunscreen.
And I would label it “SCRATCH.”
And then I would MAKE things from it.

I’ve done this, and let me explain what happens:
The sheer number of things that belong to the category of “Items You Can Never Find When You Need Them” actually cause the CANNISTER to fall into the same category by default.
And then you never find the cannister again. It’s a space-time thingy.

Coolest item for a kitchen counter is a glass jar straw holder.

I seem to recall a similar “things I wish I had” list from your old Crimeny.net blog.
