saturday

i slept in... missed dancing... but it's quite a treat to sleep in, particularly when i've a proper bed, finally. a Serta perfect sleeper! hmmmmmm... that was a present to myself. yes. i decided that a goodnight's sleep is worth that investment... i wasn't sure how long i was staying when i first arrived, so i made do with a thick new futon-mattress that i got for the free futon frame i found. i still don't know how long i would be staying but i got some $$$ back from the federal tax so i could actually afford a basic necessity. furniture isn't included in apartment rentals here in the US (& Germany and possibly Australia), and so there's quite a lot of logistics when one moves. in any case, i've been pretty minimalistic in many ways... but now i get to enjoy a nice firm bed with comfy mattress pad on top of it! i dare you to get me out of bed! hahhahahha.... hmmm i love my bed!

some girls were interested in my old futon (craigslist is an amazing invention!) and came to pick it up in the rain... bit by bit we dismantled it and they fit the pieces into the van... with time, it was as though the rain dissolved it. now i have only one handcrafted wooden futon left which is a real nice guest bed, if anyone should visit! and if you are really nice, i can take you on a zippy zip in the hourcar too! =)

anyways, i was real unproductive wrt work yesterday... but i caught up a little with sabine who's currently in Göttingen, i got my laundry done... and got to know my new neighbour from upstairs a little... she has an electric piano and plays it beautifully... i hope i might get to tinker on it someday! but perhaps it is more likely that we might do some duets one day... that is if i practice playing the cello more... hmmm.

how did you guys spend your saturday?!

That's great that they're sending one to you! I was taken with them simply because they were designed by the same guys who did Wallace and Gromit. Also, the Serta ads are really quite funny. (I have a Serta bed too!) =)
