Hilarious!

I am a big fan of Mad TV, they are strange and weird (which I love, especially Bobby Lee), but every now and then they have a skit that presses right up against the frustrations of the day. Here is the link for a skit they did last Saturday, called the "iRack." I laughed so hard, and then I showed it to Alex's family, and they thought it was funny too. I hope you enjoy.

New Couches!

I have been looking at couches for years, hoping against hope to find something modern, leather, and affordable. Then two weeks ago I was wondering through my favorite furniture store (Copenhagen West) when I found a leather couch and loveseat (above with cat on it) with everything I was looking for. They were on sale "as is" because the leather isn't plush enough and the cushions aren't attached...but, I figured it's a great deal and I should jump on it...compulsively, without Alex there.
I also bought an entertainment center for the TV downstairs:

It has a walnut veneer and lies low to the floor, simple, modern, and relatively cheap.
So, today we will reorganize our front room to make it look respectable. Both Alex and I have moving furniture, but if it will give us a place to actually visit with people when they come by and visit, it will be worth it. Plus, the red couch we had in the front room attracted cat hair like a freaking black hole, but instead of sucking it into nothingness it just gave itself a coat of it. It's pretty bad, even after vacuuming the whole thing I swear I could crochet a sweater made of cat hair. I don't know why, but the mere thought sends my stomach turning.

In the crafting corner I'm working on a greyhound, as soon as it's finished I'll post some photos.
