Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The electrode thing = TENS unit, right?

Yes. I couldn't remember what it was called, but that's it.

Why? It's not that much more than the first one you linked to.

Hah! I love the emergency homeboys, Vortex.

Of COURSE the day I'm going to the eye doctor (and will have bright lights in my eyes, and drops, and so on), and the night I plan to actually GO OUT and HAVE FUN, I wake up with a headache. Sigh.

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

It's Ikea! It'll be covered in pock marks and then fall apart after a couple of months!

Not to be a buzzkill, but Staples makes some decent stuff for a little less lettuce.

(Lettuce is slang for money, right? It sounds funny.)

Ann, that's a ferret.

I need a small desk that will fit in my bedroom. What do we think of this?

I like the clean simple lines. I don't like the lack of drawers for storage.

Actually, it's the same price as the first one. The first one is only on sale online. And if I have it shipped to me, then it costs the same as picking it up in the store or the Ikea one. And the Ikea one is so pretty!

Really? I thought Ikea furniture lasted pretty well.

But! The pretty!

I'm not worried about storage. I have a couple of rolly drawer things that I'll keep.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

What I really want is an emergency Vortex, to kick ass, cajole drinks, and ensure good service. I could use that.

Our IKEA stuff has done us pretty well. We have a modular desk "system" from there and it's held up nicely for a few years now.

Basically, anything we want to go in the house on the second or third floor has to come in a flatpack.
