So yesterday, Thor and I decide to skulk through Haddonfield. I was surprised that he agreed, since guys and shopping usually don’t mix. Especially guys and shopping in consignment shops and antique-y places.

We browsed a few shops and had lunch. Then Thor said, “Hey, let’s go look for a bedroom set.” I said, “OK, but let’s hit the candy shop first.”

(I had a Sugar Daddy pop. Cost 25 cents, and took me over an hour to finish. Mmmm)

We didn’t want to go to Levitz becuase they really screwed with us when we tried to get a cushion cover replaced last year. So we ended up at Raymour and Flanagan. And about an hour later, we purchased this:

Our first bedroom set! We have delivery scheduled for 5/15…the day after settlement. Ooo! Ooo! How exciting!

The Wings won their last home game of the season last night, and MomandI had a great time. Today we’re hanging out at home. I’m having dinner at Panera tonight w/Mom while Thor head to bed in prep for work tonight.

I’ve cancelled my Horizons subscription and am uninstalling it now. I found the gameplay boring and the graphics were choppy no matter what video card I used. Adios, Istaria.

Another VDay come and gone. And it was pretty darn uneventful. We didn’t make any plans, so we ended up staying in. Cards exchanged, some Dark Age of Camelot played. Chinese Takeout for dinner. Thor fell asleep at 9ish, and here I am.

I have a hard time dealing with Valentine’s Day. Part of me wants the whole nine yards — the fancy dinner w/me in a red dress and tumbling curls, the red roses, a pretty bracelet perhaps. The other part knows that VDay has turned into a commercial nightmare; placing horrific pressure on the menfolk in our lives and evolving into a way to make as much money as possible for Hallmark and the Entertainment Industry. And no matter which way the day turns out, I’m apathetic.

I played Horizons for a few hours. I’m losing my thrill for that game. No matter what setup I use, the lag is horrific and the frames per second never gets above 12. Characters are ugly. Monsters are repetitive. The rest of my guild is over level 20, and seems to have no time for low-level questions. There are plenty of live events, but if you’re under 30, fuggetaboutit.

To make matters worse, I’m worried about work already, and it’s only Saturday night. That sucks.

Meh. I’m just peevish all around. Time to take Max out for a spin and head to bed.

Not too terribly much to blog about at all. A few impasses at work. Crappy eating habits. And a free (FREE!) Lord of the Rings:Return of the King PC game from work. I think I’m going to play Frodo and run him RIGHT into Mount Doom.

I did watch tonight’s episode of American Idol, and the one person who I thought was just horrible (Fantasia) got the best rating from the judges. Now I know how out of it I really am.

Not much bloggage. Sleepy. Is it Friday yet?
