Orbit of me

I'm online! I'm wireless! I'm unpacked! Aaaaahhhh... all is back to normal. And just to prove to everyone how back to normal I am, but in a completely new and improved sopheava way, I've done the most normal thing I could think of: I made a new skin for all ya'll to enjoy. Please, go give it a whirl and show the love, won't you?

Now that all that housecleaning crap is out of the way I can update you on the going's on around here. Biggest news for me is that I BOUGHT A COUCH! Holy gentle horus I'll *finally* have a place to put my ass like a real person. A soft, cushy, perfectly zen and wonderful contraption, made of massive amounts of fluff just for my ass. Sooooo... do you, like, um, think the Swedes that build the furniture for Ikea ever wonder who's lovely, perfectly formed ass will be sitting on the fruits of their labor? Or do they avoid that thought like the plague - thinking of all the American, McDonald's asses plopping on their works of art? These are the things I think about.

It was serendipity people.

Remember this entry about Ikea furniture from a few weeks ago? I braved the crowds, the masses had to deal with ME a few days ago as I ventured in to the land of massive amounts of people trying to be as cool as the Swedes *just* so I could find a suitable home for my ass. I sat in every couch. I put the couches through every mental scenario I could think of - the whole rigamoroll - and in the end I chose the one I picked out in that entry. In the same color. What are the odds? Actually, they were about 1 in a dozen but it's still pretty fucking cool. On the flipside, what is NOT cool is that I have to wait a few weeks for it to be delivered. *Le sigh* My ass agrees it's a small price to pay for the level of comfort soon to be experienced.

The view from my living room is amazing, and my couch already has a perfect spot right in front of the window JUST so I can see this:

Isn't it lovely? I swear I have one of the best views of the Minneapolis skyline. I am one supremely lucky chica! But as long as we're on the subject of new items for my home... I, well, have a very serious confession to make. I, Miss Margaret Andrews, have purchased a TV. *...the crowd is stunned in to silence...* I know, I know. You probably never dreamed the day would come... yet here we are. It's not too big, not too small, perfectly flat screened, enclosed in a perfectly matching silver case, and perfectly suited to my home. So far it loves its new home - and the plants have taken to it like a bitch takes to heat. Have a look for yourself.

The TV is happy, the plants are happy, I'm happy - it's one big love fest here at loring park. *tear* I'm all settled so blogging will resume its normally scheduled slot and time. Huh huh, I just said *slot*. See ya'll tomorrow with my list for July (a little late, but I got excused by the totally hot and agreeable teacher).
