Ahab, Ikea, and Underworld

First of all, I finished Ahab's Wife which is one of the more annoying books I've read. It's almost 700 pages long and Ahab's in there for maybe 50. It might as well have been The Anachronistically Liberated Wife of a Whaler Who Happened to Be Obsessed by a White Whale. Sure Una is anti-slavery, pro-equal rights, and all this but just happens to be a little icked by homosexuality. And then she ends up marrying Ishmael in the LAST TWO PAGES when he was introduced six pages before that! WTF?? Grr. Me bitter. Arr.

Scott was in a major nesting mood and when I got in from work last night insisted we go shopping. So most of today was spent at Target and Ikea acquiring various homey items, including a new lamp, rug, and sofa. I've singed the devil card but man my place is going to be looking like a real home soon!!

Also I've never seen a man so persnikity about kitchen appliances. Scott was way more worried about picking out the proper cheese grater than a new sofa. Well, he insists its his kitchen, so I guess that explains it.
