Feng Shui

So I’m watching HGTV (don’t worry, Owen knows the safeword and has not been forced to endure the torture), and there is some sort of feng shui show on.  The feng shuist is at someone’s house and is redoing the couple’s bedroom.  The couple has a lovely flat screen TV in their bedroom, and the feng shuist is flitting around making changes left and right.  She declares that the TV is now going to be moved to a different area of the room and enclosed in its own custom place.  The man said something like, “The TV is generally on any time we’re in the room, I’m concerned that this doesn’t fit our, um, patterns.”  The feng shuist looks at him like he’s a freak and said “Feng shui is all about changing patterns…” and that this will change his life.

It’s their own fault for contacting the show in the first place, but if a designer came into our home to create a room that would make us feel good, but instead disregarded all our needs and wants in order to fix our “energy flow,” I would have to ask the shuist to feng herself.

Then again, we chose our living room furniture by going from couch to couch in the couch store and bought the most comfortable couch in the store and didn’t care what it looked like.

  3. Was that the one where at the end, she was talking about how she wanted a bazillion pillows on the bed?  We were channel surfing and caught that part of it.
