Art I've Seen Lately That I Love

I've seen some awesome inspiration lately. I saw this at the Anacortes art festival and voted for it in the Popular Poll. Octopuses either are very in right now or I'm just obsessed with them lately because I keep seeing them everywhere.

And then I was looking at a magazine and there was a picture of a room with an awesome piece of art. I then instantly looked him up. The artist's name is James Lecce. I dont know if I would want to hang it up in my living room (unlike the octopus, which I would hang up in an instant), but it's still really interesting.

Standing while waiting for the elevator

me: I have to pee

Jeff: as usual...because you have such a tiny...pee holder

me: [stare]

Jeff: Bladder! that's the word

me: [stare]

Jeff: Actually you want to know what your problem is. You have that thing on the commercial with the people made out of pipes bc you go instantly from not having to pee to having to pee really really bad.

Neither of us could figure out what that commercial was actually selling.

Rug on Carpet = Awesome

Story:

Me, while casually looking at IKEA's website: Hey check this rug out. I'm thinking bedroom.

Jeff: I love it

Me: We both love it??? We have to buy it.

Jeff: But it's at IKEA

Me: Well we're going to Seattle bc of Ben's wedding next weekend anyway.

Jeff: Good point

10 days later:

So we get to IKEA 2 amazing things happen: we find a new shortcut and we save 60 bucks. When we found the rug in the rug section, the tag said is was $450, 50 bucks cheaper than what the website said. Score! So we hightailed it to the register, only to have it ring up as $500. So we asked a sales lady and she looked it up and it was $500 in the computer, but she said if we got a manager to verify, then they would honor it. So then we hightailed it back (bypassing the furniture warehouse through the newly told-about shortcut), flagged down another sales lady (who was really nice and awesome) and WHAM! $60 OFF!!!

So we are now the new owner of an awesome IKEA rug. And it lives in the bedroom, even though the bedroom already has carpet. But that's how much we like it. And now Jeff is determined to not put furniture on top of the rug so it "doesn't get those furniture indents"So, us being nerds, we added it to the apartment app (jeffquery.com/apt) and figured out a way. I took it to the next nerd level by actually using a screenshot from the IKEA site.

New Apartment!!!

Here it is. In all its empty glory.

We've started moving stuff in but can't "officially" move until the 18th because that's when the internet/tv is getting hooked and Jeff can't live with internet and I refuse to mess up our tv service until the Olympics are over.

So for now we're just moving the stuff we can live without for two weeks and then we'll do a big push on that weekend we get internet and then be moved into our new place!!!

Also, Jeff built a website to layout furniture: http://jeffquery.com/apt/
