IKEA, Swedish for 'slow death'

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2004.09.18

Today, we went to IKEA for a wardrobe for the bedroom and a sofa for the living room. Three hours and $1100. Ouch. I detest shopping there, but my extensive shopping around for something tolerable and affordable in the way of sofas yielded nothing. This poverty stinks!

Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try.
