The Online Photographer on Refrigerators
The Online Photographer is one of my very favourite blogs. I’ve already quoted it once tonight but I just can’t control myself and I want to keep quoting this article about… about refrigerators?
“Bisque,” if you are not among the initiated—as I was not, previously—is a color, one that is apparently deeply beloved of appliance manufacturers. It is not quite yellow and not quite brown, with a lot of white thrown in—about the color of a latté made with skim milk and bad gas-station coffee—apparently useful because, being roughly the color of dirtiness, it can get dirty without looking dirty. Either that, or it always looks dirty[.]
And:
I literally stayed up until 3 a.m. last night making myself bleary-eyed by poring over appliance manufacturers’ websites. Conclusion? I cannot buy a refrigerator. The task is too much for me. Looks like the grubby old one is going to have to soldier on.
I do too much of that. Well, not with refrigerators. Yet…
