refurnishing

my current thinking is to ditch some of my current furniture when moving (or more precisely, donate it to a thrift store or something like that). a breakdown:

  • office chair: i’m thinking of getting an aeron or mirra.
  • couch: i need a good, solid, comfy couch.
  • loveseat: i might replace this with some sort of recliner.
  • kitchen table and chairs: a keeper. maybe i’ll even start using it.
  • bed: a keeper (although i need new bedding).
  • desk: a keeper.
  • entertainment unit: a keeper, although i may stain it.
  • coffee table and end table: undecided. i may move it and toss it if i find something better.
  • chest of drawers: also undecided, but probably not a keeper.
  • filing cabinets: keepers.

there’s a bunch of other stuff i plan to get rid of, too: books, old clothes, some kitchen stuff, old computer junk, etc. there’s some things i’ll end up moving that i should really unload, but don’t have time to deal with unloading right now.

of course, this all hinges on having someplace to move into. i’m close to having that solved.

a slight tangent. there appears to be two groups of people in the world: those that put their couch and television in close proximity (often in some sort of alcove), and those who put the couch and television on opposite walls.

word revival

merriam-webster has dropped the word nixie in the 11th edition of their dictionary, which seems quite a shame.

nixie (also nixy) (c. 1890): a piece of mail that is undeliverable because illegibly or incorrectly addressed

that is simply a word that is too cool to let die. it (and nixies, the plural form) is apparently a valid scrabble® word, too.
