Don't eat sushi on a Sunday!
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
TV scheduling alert: There's an extra House on Wednesday at 8. Wednesday at 8 is KILLING ME.Argh!
I think I am going to need a new frame soon. I'd rather lalalalalalaaaa ignore it for a while though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Don't eat sushi on a Sunday!
I said fish, not sushi!
This is one of those "my reputation precedes me" things, isn't it?

Right now I'm just trying to decide if I want to go with something cheap from IKEA, or if I want to drop a lot of money for something nice.
I've had pretty good experiences, in the past, with IKEA. I dunno if they hold up for years and years but I think you get some good use out of them. As opposed to, say, West Elm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
West Elm has a bad rep?
I got a charity-related e-mail from a cousin in the form of "Save Premature Babies from <cousin'sname>." I did have to point out to her that it sounded like she was menacing NICUs.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
shrift -- does your need for a bed mean that you're Actually Moved? Hooray if so... and my advice is to get a good mattress and then get a nice frame later when you've got the luxury of time to shop. Being well-rested will mean stuff like looking for a job will be less of a horrid chore than it might otherwise be!

With beds, they do. The thread seems to have disappeared from Apartment Therapy but lots of people were reporting that their platform beds were breaking after a few weeks/months of use.

Actually the frame I have right now is from IKEA, circa 1990. And the current wobble is due to movers screwing it up. The really, really cheap stuff from IKEA tends to fall apart but the rest has held up quite well.

The only real problem I've ever had with IKEA is, with the cheap laminate stuff, you have to be super careful assembling it or you'll chip off the veneer. Both of the beds I bought, however, were solid wood and were nice and sturdy. (One of them was a loft bed.)
ETA: My end tables are from West Elm, ita, and I have no complaints. I just wouldn't buy a bed frame from them.

That's pretty craptacular.
I need to get off my duff, in a huge way.
Cupcakes! Other tasks!
Instead, I'm clearing off the TiVo. By watching it all.
