this weekend was so nice. after kind of a stressful week (work and school) i really needed to be chill.
we started out by going furniture shopping, lolz. so domestic of me. i ended up getting that couch i posted a while back. we went to the place i found it online at and the dude kept trying to jerk us around into buying the whole set. i'm like "dude, my apartment is so small. the whole set won't even FIT." i flat out told him i'd pay cash right then and there and he still wouldn't budge. we were going to get a dinner table too, but dude was pushing for that extra bit of commission and lost the sale. whatev.
so we went to a different furniture warehouse just to check it out. i was a bit pussyhurt over not getting my magnificent couch, but i was still ready to get a couch. the place had some very weird stuff, but nothing that was eye catching in my price range. so we go to leave and some tattooed dude in a button down and airwalks was like "hey folks, did you not see anything you like?" and i'm all like "dude, waaaay too contemporary." dude's like "well come look at my catalogues and see if there's anything you like!" i figure what the hell. we go in there and start looking at the catalogue and about 3/4 of the way though it - bam - there's the couch. so i asked him if he could get JUST the couch cuz dude at the other place was trying to force me into getting the whole set and i didn't want it. he says "of course!" and then asked how much they were charging for it when my smarmy real estate instincts kicked in. i told him about $100 less than they were asking and he offered it to me for $100 less than that! he also added fabric protection for 70 bucks instead of $150 and delivery was $35, so i got the couch for a few hundred less than i expected :). it'll be here in 2-4 weeks.
so the next day i had to fucking work in the morning (i love that my boss does that to me). afterwards though we were all lazy and ordered chinese. joey got a new car while i was at work too. we got a bunch of our friends together and had some beers, then went to a bar and had more beers. and more beers. and shots. then a few more friends came out, and more beers, lol. we ended up back here somehow where a few of the drunk retards were trying to huff my compressed air, lol. i passed the eff out due to having been drinking since 4 on 4 hours sleep. everything was still intact when i woke up, so that's good.
today we were all domestic again and went to target. i finally got a proper shelf for my copy of the curse of lono and in honor of that we hung my fear and loathing picture right under it. i also got a spice rack, lol. he found a bitchin new weekly pill case for me (my old one was about hit) that doesn't randomly flop open and puke forth my meds and a panini press on a whim. we walked through housewares all like "do i need this?" lol.
the apartment is really starting to shape up. i'll take pics when i'm done. the bathroom is still spotless (except for pink grout from my red hair dye) and now the kitchen has joined in the ranks of that. i need to put my big black desk in storage so i can set up the dining room, then a good scrub and i'm done! well, there's the bedroom too, but i'm trying not to think about tackling that mess, lol.
i'm rambling, lol. i just had a really laid back and normal weekend. no drama, no craziness, no out of the ordinary occurrences (well, besides the snow storm in the middle of april, but i'm used to that). life is good :)
