Went to the new IKEA here in Athens yesterday. Survived. Still have not solved any of the lighting problems with my house. Contemplating destructive renovation techniques that would undoubtedly void the lease.
Until then, using many candles.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Everyone is talking lighting. Heh.
I was in a restaurant today that had me wanting to get up and adjust all of their accent lighting.

I've been listening to the song "Over and Over Again," well, over and over again. Because despite the fact that I actually like it, and think it's pretty and all that, the fact that it is a Nelly and Tim McGraw duet is keeping me in giggles. I mean, that is probably the most unlikely pairing anyone could ever have come up with, ever. It's great.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Penguin!
I mean, timelies!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think it's the distance. It's still over an hour in ick traffic to the nearest IKEA.
And even further for me, since I have to drive past your house to get to it. Sigh. We have no IKEA in my state.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I've been listening to the song "Over and Over Again," well, over and over again.
Really? I know you have a higher pop-music tolerance than I do, and it is nice to hear the first few times, but I would think after the 5th listening or so that the lack of variation would drive me insane. Well, further insane. Maybe it's a koan. That would explain it....
Timelies. I'm very sorry I missed the were-monkey romping.
I have not yet visted our IKEA, despite having a $50 gift cert. to there, as it is insane and packed with crazed deal-seeking Minnesotans and Wisconsinites. They ridiculously underestimated the demand for their Swedish goods, much like Amazon underestimated demand for Hec's tasty brain stylings.

IKEA in Athens amusing me for some reason.
They are testing the fire alarm. I may go mad.

Us neither. I'm perpetuating the myth that I will go to Houston for a weekend of shopping at stores that are there but not here - Ikea, REI, um, there are probably more than that, but those would probably take all my money.

I have IKEA overkill. There is one about 20 miles away in a northern burb, and then another about 40 minutes away in a DC burb.
I haven't been there in ages. But then, I don't really have room for any more furniture or stuff. As it is, I have a stack of books on the floor (horrors! well, at least to clean around) because I'm out of bookshelves and have no where to put any.

I have to drive to Houston for IKEA, too, -t. Since they have the nursery furniture we want, I've been planning to do so for a while, but I have to finalize buying a new car first.
