well, we've finally been to Ikea.

or is it IKEA?

and we ignored most of it because we were on a mission to find something that would work as an entertainment center. but good lord you could make a day of shopping there. and then we (okay RTO) had a fun evening of assembling everything and trying to remember how all the electronic bits are supposed to be hooked together. tomorrow, we buy the large television. unless RTO's dental appointment goes terribly wrong.
