Apropos of ME WANT...

alexandraerin...this floor-chair is pictured posed in pretty much exactly the pose I assume when I'm writing:
It's not easy to get that pose on a desktop computer... it involves an office chair that I'm pretty sure is technically broken, a lapdesk for my keyboard and mouse, and a footstool under my desk. In the long run I want to get that chair because this pose is not quite as relaxing as it would be if the chair were less wobbly and my legs (the knees in particular) were fully supported... and there's just something about being close to the floor that appeals to me.
The other problem with this setup, long-term, is that it's not portable. I can do it at the computer that has become my "work" computer by default, because I can sit here like this... but I can't do anything like this in my more private space upstairs.
The goal of the whole exercise is total relaxation when I'm writing so my whole world shrinks to just the words on the page, so I'm not distracted by discomfort or the need to adjust my position because of my back or my knees. It works tolerably well down here in the computer room, particularly when I'm home alone... but I'm curious what I could do if I set up a little computer nook in my alcove upstairs, where it can always be dark and quiet.
I have no doubt that I'm going to be able to afford this chair in the future. I could afford it now, but all my money's kind of "earmarked" at the moment and I just can't justify the price.
But I can waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant.
