I bought this little Zen Rock Garden at the dollar store. THE DOLLAR STORE! It's like 8" square, and comes with two plastic rakes, five polished stones, and a bag of white sand.
So like I said I bought it at the Dollar store, and it has sat on my desk in its box for the past month. So last night I figured I'd break it out.
The sand is a bitch. When I cut open the bag of sand, it fell over and spilled all over my desk. At first I thought it was sugar, it was so sticky. The "polished" stones may be shiny due to the fact that they're coated in a waxy substance. And the one plastic rake resembles a five-tyned fork. But I did get the sand in the thing, and put the stones in there, and rake rake rake - it looked like shit. So I took the stones out, raked the sand again, put the stones back in - it still looks like shit. But I set it aside and every once in a while I look at it and wonder at it's cheapness.
I feel more relaxed already.
