An Apple IBook Update!

It’s still in the shop, the repair center got it Friday, so I sense it will be a bit longer then anticipated, but we’ll see. I hope they work weekends!

Good gracious is it slow here at my main job today. Like for the last two hours, I’ve had about 3 tasks of note, and not that much to do outside of that. There are minor ticky-tack things I could do (filing from three months ago) to look busy but it’s just not happening, so here I am, chillin’ waiting for 5 PM, or really 4:30 (cause I’ll get some cleaning done then).

Then, some last minute shopping (no, I haven’t been a total dope, my gift for Danielle is almost done, but I do need to package it), then FNL, then wake up for a Smash Tournament, then get the heck out of town ’til Monday morning.

(Stopped writing here)

Have I ever said that disassembling a futon sucks? No really, it does!

I’ve got it broken into two pieces now … the wooden sides and the metal frame (the inside frame of course being the broken part). But, I can’t get it disassembles any farther then that, due to the darn wooden pegs on the outside sides (I know that’s repeating) sticking in! So, I’m thinking two pieces may be the best I can do and it’s gonna be a bitch to move that.

But here’s the grand idea: bring back the old bed (which is in the garage and in good shape), buy a new frame (Original Mattress has very nice bed frames for $50), to hell with the headboard and footboard if they don’t fit, and then hopefully a new frame makes my old bed better again. I lose some of the space I gained with the futon, but this solution will set me back $50 (which puts my total bedding expenditures to $85 … the futon was nearly free as you can see!)

If I come out of this only paying $50 and the bed feels better then it did with the new frame (the old frame was crappy and had flimsy bent rails, I’m sure it was offering zero support), then I think I come out ahead. Can’t see spending $600 on a new bed right now (although the $600 bed is awful nice), and can’t see buying a futon frame which doesn’t help anything and is more expensive. This is the best option.

Something about having a girlfriend that makes you think about not really your own sleeping arrangement, but hers as well. I’m jealous of hers … she has a water bed!
