Heh--java, I've been thinking of you and how you told me you got all your awesome furniture off craigslist! I am all "...now I want to buy LOTS OF NEW STUFF!" But need to at least vaguely try to hold a line somewhere. I plan to troll craigslist for a new dining room table at some point in the next few months--my current one is from there, but it's not super nice, and I'd like a nicer one in a different color.
Amusing randomness: Next door neighbor (who shares a wall with me) walked by as the movers were finishing up, and saw my couch, which was one of the last pieces, and was like "Oh! You have red couches TOO!" Hah! Apparently we decorate alike.

Oh yeah, I've scored great on Craigslist, for sure. But nothing will ever beat buying my antique writer's desk from a sidewalk sale in the Castro for $40. It's my favorite piece of furniture. I'm re-doing my office because even though the sleeper chair that megan, you and Suzi have used during your visits is very comfortable, it's too big and ugly to warrant the space in my office. So I am keeping the very comfy mattress to it in the garage and buying a rolling bed cot to keep in my office closet. I'll use both the (new) cot's mattress and the Ikea mattress on it for guests, so it should be very comfy. I'll find out when Flea visits! I already moved the chair, and I got about 8 square feet back and it feels like 20.
Yeah, I haven't even started to contemplate the downstairs bedroom/library/guest room, because it is very last on the unpacking priority, but once I get around to it and rearrange the bookshelves etc, I want to figure out what will work in terms of furniture for guest-sleepage there. I want to be able to sleep two people...futon? blow up bed? ...some other option? Will have to see what I have space for.
But your chair-mattress thing is indeed comfy!
The Criminal Minds rerun tonight is 100. I am already sad.
Oh man, it was SO wrenching. I'm still trying to figure Strauss out. Part of me wants to believe she was being such a hardass because she wanted there to be absolutely no question in the future over Hotch's actions, rather than trying to nail his hide to the wall during an emotionally trying time.
We had great luck with craigslist when we moved last time. We only needed a few things but gotthem all there.
In my area, for some reason, Kijiji has is much more popular than Craiglist. I would have so much crap if I had a car. And possibly several dogs.
I know I keep posting about Facebook, but I had an update of one of my friends which said:
XXXXXXXXXXXXX likes Nathan Fillion, Joseph Hill "Joss" Whedon, Adam Baldwin and DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN.
WTF?
Someone else I know just made a comment about people liking that one! Like, she was calling out her friends. WTF indeed.
One of my acquaintances from HS posted that. Talk about fucking tasteless. As much as I loathe W, and boy howdy do I, I would never say something like that.
