IKEA
With every moving experience, there’s always been a customary furniture-trek to IKEA. Sunday was no different for us except instead of driving 15 minutes to Emeryville, we had to drive 90 minutes to New Haven (the closest location).
IKEA in New Haven is the same as the rest of the country except that it shares a lot with the ugliest building in the world…


So ugly in fact, that IKEA tried to disguise it as a billboard (nice try)…

Anyway, what made this trip different than others were the sheer amount of shelves we brought home (someone needs room for comics) and that we had to plan in advance everything that we needed because we really didn’t want to come back.
Today was the day I got to put all that stuff together. I have to hand it to IKEA. Somehow they have made it easy to figure out the directions and I love that they sometimes include tools. Its unnecessary to some extent since at this point I can assemble a Billy bookcase faster than you can say “bachelor”.
