IKEA Makes Jamie Wonder

All our money goes to IKEA lately. A lot of money. A lot of time, too. So it’s a good thing I can at least get a blog entry out of it.

Thought 1: Will we go to the special kind of hell you go to for ignoring the IKEA instructions? Somehow they didn’t make sense to us, so in the end we did it differently and since nothing has fallen apart yet, we might get away with it. Although, if there’s that special kind of hell, we might pay for it in the end.

Thought 2: Do students of Scandinavian Studies go to IKEA to nick some books? Because even I thought about it and I don’t even speak Swedish. It’s so damn tempting and I doubt anyone would notice.

Okay, not the greatest thoughts I ever had, but considering I spent half of my day at work and the other half choosing, buying and assembling furniture, it’s actually pretty good. They don’t take credit cards at IKEA here, by the way. See, this is what I mean when I’m calling this a third-world country.
