she says i'm crazy, i said oh really?
mike can recognize that as the lyrics to a song that played on my CD player alarm clock every day for a long long time. until he begged me to please change it.
i had something to blog about before i started blogging but now i don't remember what it was so i'll just tell you all what's going on.
mike and i went to ikea, and we got a funka coffee table.
basically it's a coffee table and it moves up so you can eat comfortably off of it. we really heart it. it was only 50 bux (that link is australian, i think). and i have to say, swedish furniture is quite clever. everything DOES something. it's not just a bookshelf, it's a bookshelf that spins around and becomes a toilet somehow and then you can order this light fixture to go with it for three dollars or something. yeah it's bizarre. i don't even want to think about how this furniture gets made because it's so nice yet cheap. so i'm guessing some sort of sweatshop labor is probably involved. i'll think about it in a few weeks. but right now a girl has a right to enjoy a table. so bleh.
melissa visited us this weekend and was subjected to our slightly insane, slightly on edge, slightly a little bit disturbing relationship dynamics. because mike and i were really grumpy with each other, and we kept arguing about everything. melissa was a good sport but i think she felt a bit uncomfortable. so sorry melissa. everything is normal again; mike and i quit fighting. the ikea table brought us together. and we're more in love now than ever before. haha
i think we're going to get a bookshelf too, possibly this one. without the cabinets. i know it's not really a bookshelf, but i think the bottom three cubes can be used for snickers to play in, so i think it'll work out. well we'll see. we'll probably love each other a lot more if we get this bookcase.
school started today. i'm not taking any classes.
but i am TAing one. which basically means i go, turn on all the projectors, etc, sit for an hour, turn all the projectors, etc. off and then one day a week i lead a discussion section. should be interesting.
okay if i remember what it was i was going to post about i will post again later.
