where we sit

a couch potato is a potato first, and a couch second. that is to say you can peel back the skin, eat the flesh and fry the pieces to make chips, but you can’t ever sit on one. at least, not without feeling very uncomfortable indeed.

i’ve been couching now for about six years. sure, six years doesn’t seem much time to you, but before that i was beanbagging, and that’s a whole new lifestyle altogether. for example, when beanbagging, you can’t really put your feet up on the coffee table.
