Woah! IKEA is on the list? Groundbreaking I know. But having just toughed out a morning there yesterday... this place... just... wow.
I felt like Theseus trying to navigate my way through the labyrinth, but instead of a minotaur, it was just dudes with goatees and Peterbilt Truck t-shirts trying to thwart me at every turn. I feel for the makers and marketers of athletic pants now. On the one hand their goal of providing athletic clothing for the masses has been perversely fulfilled, and yet it's still been stripped of anything resembling dignity. Like most of the people here the second they walk through the door.
What else? Baby strollers, kids screaming and women who shouldn't be dating a dud like that guy all trying to overpower my senses at once in a bid to keep me confused enough to drop $149 on that dark brown shelving thing that every person I know owns.
On the plus side, my bird found some metal magazine holder things so we can hang onto all our old issues of the New Yorker. Overall, a good use of 3 hours, if you ask me.

Yeah it's shit, but I'm happy with the new $90 particle board bookshelf the missus convinced me to drive to Stoughton for (as opposed to dropping about 3 hundo on a nice wood one I would have had to paint myself by supporting the local scene)
Support your local shelf builders duder.
Wearing sweatpants in public (especially during daylight hours) is just a sign that you have totally surrendered....you have given up....the fire is gone....
...oh and I third the support for local shelf builders...thats my job....not kidding
woah, norm abrams reads the list! nice one!
Feel like I lost control of the wheel for a few seconds here on this one.
Why is that giant hamburger so much more disgusting than a normal sized hamburger?
i saw a surprising amount of people in brightly colored sweatsuits today. appalling.
