The Good and the Bad

[cornerofmadness]

The bad. Dell computers are a piece of shit. Well we all know this. The problem i've been having since the day I got the computer has gotten worse, taking only a few hours now to develop instead of all day. I call them again. I tell them the problem, that everything becomes inoperable and I have to restart. She does another hard ware test and says it's software and then asks me to demonstrate the problem (apparantly she didn't hear the it takes hours to develop part of this). And of course they want nearly 300$ in 'software warranty' to talk to me. I tell them again to go to hell. Upshot kiddies, don't buy Dell, ever. I've had 5 now (two personal 3 at work) and all of them died very early deaths.

The good - Bought my couch. It's bigger than I thought original (never trust what they look like in the store since those stores are well enormous, get dimensions) I'm thinking it's 88X38X42....wow. 38" is the problem. Standard door size is only 36" so I call and ask can they get it in a 36" door? Yes, they do it all the time. Let's hope so. It should be here on friday.

It's the couch not the loveseat I got (the three seater for those who don't use the term 'loveseat')

I've always wanted a red couch!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my last one was black so...

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I like the couch. RED! Awesome color.

Sorry about the computer troubles again. Dell sucks donkey balls.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you know I didn't want anything showy....

[stars91.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous couch! I'm in the hunt for one right now myself! It is really a lot harder than it should be to decide on something!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it really is. this was the best I could find in the cheap range

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

Glad I'm not the only one who buys small furniture only to have it balloon to twice its size in my apartment.

; )

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah well I may have a loveseat after all. I can't seem to fit that futon into this computer room...not without taking it apart. I think I'll do that AFTER mom sleeps on it in two weeks. I'll just leave it in the way in the living room until then

[esmerelda-t.livejournal.com]

That's an awesome couch, I've decided that when I move out again, Im getting a couch, I had a futon in Sheffield, and I think the lack of a proper couch contributed to the murderous rage I constantly felt there. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Trust me that futon has contributed to much unease HERE too. I don't know why people buy them.

[ninerva.livejournal.com]

That is a very cool couch! I love the colour. :-)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's very soft and snuggly too. Bets on how fast I ruin it?

[ninerva.livejournal.com]

Don't think of it as ruin, just owning. :-) I knew I owned my new sofa the day I spilt wine on it and didn't have to apologise to anyone. ;-) Grew rather attached to it after that.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ha!

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Gorgeous!!!!! And at least you didn't get the one that would make you turn the place into a bordello. LOL.

the three seater for those who don't use the term 'loveseat

that woudl be me. LOL. except it's used in teh Sims and i still didn't work out it referred to a two seater - i thought the Sims just called it that so they coudl do 'woohoo' on it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hee no loveseat is not a SIMS term. We use it here all the time.

And I think ELD would disagree on the whole bordello thing

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Pretty couch. Sorry your computer's still giving you so much trouble.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks and the computer should just die and do me the favor. They'd replace it then

[ladystarlightsj.livejournal.com]

Nice! Someday, when the spawn are grown up, we'll have nice furniture too...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes spawn do make things more difficult though I will confess growing up my brother and I didn't do much to the furniture. the walls on the other hand...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Let's go with "bordello red" here, okay? I mean, let's not think there's a theme or something.

*cough*

Can't wait to see it in person.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you picking in the Red couch

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Perish the thought. *weg*

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

And when the new couch is somehow shoehorned through your front door and installed, your apartment will look _just like_ that picture. Right?

On the upside, at least this sofa won't show bloodstains. All your furniture should be red, at the rate you manage to wound yourself, and the rugs and carpet, too.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yes, just like that. I'll go magic some french doors and real window into this place.

good point about the bloodstains

Red Couch

[scarlettehawk.livejournal.com]

I love it. A little too red for me though. I would have liked a red, black and gold pattern in my place. It is really cool though. Congrats.

Re: Red Couch

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was red or brown and then I wouldn't be able to see it for the beige floors and beige walls...
