I finally went to Hollywood Video

My recent life can be divided into a series of failures and successes. Not that my life in the past years couldn't be, but it just so happens that lately it lends itself to this sort of analysis particularly well. So here's a short rundown:


Success: getting ALL the lights on the upright wireless device to work. Nay, actually getting the upright wireless thing in the mail at all is considered a paramount accomplishment.



Failure: not getting the 4th box with the midbeam at IKEA on the first trip because of extremely poor prioritizing on the part of IKEA directions.


Success: Putting together the bed after a late-night visit to IKEA and getting a brand! new! mattress! The novelty of the mattress affected me in such a way that I was 45 minutes late to work the morning after I slept on it for the first time.


Success: putting together a nightstand


Failure: what in God's name are all those pictures suggesting?

So as you can see, life is sort of putting itself together despite the failures while continuing to be rather haphazard in spite of the successes. This upcoming week is my last week at work. A major success or failure is in order.
