Ikea

Watching:Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. People said this movie sucked. I really shouldn't listen to people. They often lie and their opinions never match my own. This movie was amazing. I love Natalie and Jason Bateman. In my opnion, those two can do no wrong.
Waiting:March 17. With excited anticipation. It's gonna be a good day.
ReadingGrapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. So far, this book is really exceeding my expectations, but Lo said I still have a lot more to read. So, does that mean my opinion will change? Most likely.
Listening:Mika. He's like a cute floppy haired reincarnation of Freddy Mercury. I saw him on the Brit Awards last night and he's just so adorable.
Obsessing:Take a wild guess.... I'll give you a clue. His name sounds like James McAvoy.

We went to Ikea this past Saturday with Lo and Ry, two of my fave people in the entire world (that's right. I said it). I've never been to an actually real live Ikea. Many people think after visiting my house that it's an Ikea house, but no, not a single item in my house is from Ikea.

Anyway, my thoughts on Ikea are best stated through list form, since it is my last Monday at work and I really should be working.

1. Ikea is a very smart store: They have a place for kids to play, they have everything set up so that you can see what it would look like in an actual room. They know how to make the big bucks.

2. Ikea's cafeteria felt like Disney World: When I was a kid and we went to Disney world, anytime we would eat I would feel so anxious. I would eat so fast, only so that I could go on more rides and that was the exact feeling I had. I wanted to look at more STUFF!

3. Walking around Ikea felt like I was at Disney World: I know I stated this before, but that was to describe a feeling. This is meant to describe the surroundings. Ry and I noticed that about 70% of the people didn't speak English. But it wasn't just Spanish, it was like French, Russian, Chinese, every language under the sun. I really felt like I was on vacay again.

4. Ikea is affordable: I want everything in Ikea and I could probably buy everthing if I really wanted to. Point blank.
