Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Jesse, if it makes you feel less behind the curve, I was just saying to DH it was time to get on the iPod bandwagon.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Who here has been hypnotized? Was it fun? Freaky?

For pain management a couple of times. It was relaxing.

Of course, I just told my parents that I guess I would take an iPod for Christmas, so I'm not exactly up with the times

I put an iTouch on my wishlist! Join the fun!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Wii is the awesome! However, GF is addicted to the Star Wars Lego game, which can be v.v. annoying at times.

Did I gripe earlier about my new apartment's combo of freakishly narrow hallway (32") and short door (6' 6") making it impossible to get the super comfy sleep-inducing couch inside? I've been looking at furniture stores for 3 days trying to find something that will (a) fit, and (b) not make me seethe with disappointment whenever I use my living room. Not much luck with (b) at the stores I've visited, but I ran across this online and actually like it. I'm thinking of buying one and either getting the deep red slipcovers or having new ones made out of bright red velvety material.

Then I could stain the wood of my remaining chair and papasan to match the black finish, get a bright green cushion for the latter, and do something with alternate color throw pillows. A complete 180° from the 19th century drawing room thing I had going on at my previous apartment, but I think it could work with the black cabinets and appliances and blue-violet interior walls.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The old comfy couch doesn't come apart at all?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

JILLI! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Not without a buzz saw. It's basically a solid wood daybed frame and back with rattan sides, nailed and glued together. Ultra-sturdy, so it'd have to be cut apart and then rebuilt rather than just reassembled, and I lack the carpentry skills to do it without ending up with firewood and cushions.

On the bright side, a co-worker is interested in it for her basement game room. So I can be sure it goes to a nice home and will feel much better about giving her a bargain basement price than some stranger.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I need ita. How long do I ice and then how long off before I re-ice?

I like that couch, Matt.

Sometimes I think my life is fodder for one of those point-and-laugh tragic-comic sitcoms.

Then I realize it's way too boring for that...

I only got an ipod last xmas! Also from the parents.
