Adventures in housewares

magicalmarthaIkea was predictably awesome. I procured a very nice glass shelving unit, to properly display my miniatures (and in doing so, hopefully get some more painting done on them), and also a duvet cover, pillow cases, and comforter for my bed. I have always wanted one of the sets that stores have on display - the made bed with the eight hundred matching pillows and color-coordinated sheets - because they always look so PRETTY to me. Well, now I have the beginnings of one, and if Ikea had had sheets with better thread counts I'd have matching sheets already as well. But this is why God invented Target.
I'm playing in a War Machine tournament in two weeks, and my goal was to have all 500 points that I'm playing with painted by then. I'm starting to doubt my ability to do this, because when it comes to painting figures I am SLOW. I spent two hours or so on my caster and he's only up to about half done, and I'm not even sure I like how he's coming out. If I really hate him when I finish I'll strip him after the tourney, but right now I've got enough to do. I've got several pirates to finish, as well as one of my character solos and (I'm sure) there are bits of my jacks that need paint. At least Billy is letting me borrow one unit, so I not only don't have to paint them but I didn't have to buy them yet.

Weirdly enough, the hanging-out dreams with ZQ continue. Last night I think we were, like, sitting on a sofa reading with the t.v. on. It's like my brain needs faux-relaxing time, and has decided it needs it with hot dudes.
(I'm totally ok with this)
