absurdities

when i first saw this inflatable outdoor theater, i thought to myself, "that's one of the coolest things i've ever seen!" then i thought, "actually, that nice pool is pretty sweet." so when i saw the price tag on this inflatable outdoor theater, i almost died (it retails from $2500-3000). in all fairness, the steep pricetag mostly has to do with the projector and tripod.

my bedroom is probably smaller than that pool, so i have to get my priorities straight. but when i make my first million, this inflatable outdoor theater will be on my list...along with a malibu mansion.
