Man, I feel like going home and playing with Legos all night. To hell with the "Ages 6-12" suggestion, I feel like taking all my classic Castle Series pieces and building an uber-fortress fit to combat the super cool blue Space Series vehicles from the late 80's. I don't understand why as adults, we stop playing (though I assume one reason people have kids is so they can play with their toys). Whenever I see an apartment like those inhabited by suave dudes in NYC, you know, with weird furniture and jazz albums it makes me shudder. Or, another example, the way a normally fun house would look after those energetic gay guys make it look like the lamps section of Home Depot. It's not that I want to live in a room that looks like a college dorm, but I think one's home should be a reflection of their personal tastes (Homestar Runner, SNES, etc.) and style (of which I technically have none). 
I wonder if people really like that stuff or feel pressure (from Ikea?) to act like adults, or at least what they perceive to be all grown up. Sure, there's an appeal in a nice hip dwelling but why is that the overwhelming trend? Why aren't there more cool houses like the one here, designed as the ultimate feline dwelling? As I furnish my new apartment, I make sure my NES collection is front and center and I should get my legos out here soon! But at least I can take comfort that my Uncle Tom (who is turning 40 this year by the way!) HAS to have legos somewhere in his house. If not legos, at least a Goofy toy or two in public view. If I got $20,000 to redesign my house, I'd have him be my interior designer (and it's gonna stay that way until Ethan Allan introduces their lego-based line of ottomans).
