new stuff

Because our houseguest moved into his own place today, today I learned that it turns out we know a bunch of good places for sick people to buy furniture, even though we don't have very much ourselves, and that the Futon Furniture Gallery makes a bunch of their futons with pre-washed cotton outsides.

In other news, it takes upwards of seven hours to get a new stereo installed in a old car on a Saturday. If you're going from a simple radio with a tape player to one of these newfangled stereo thingies, the new one is so hideously complicated you have to read the manual to figure out how to switch radio stations.

The car also got all its door-dings fixed while it was in the shop getting the pickup-induced dent in the hood repaired, so now I'm going to be afraid to park it anywhere.
