concentrated evil lurks inside furniture grocery stores
Weird Swedish-named products I bought at Ikea on Sunday:
ASPELUND -- "Antique" bedside table with a small cabinet underneath. I was about to buy just a regular table until I saw this, which reminded me of the nightstand I have at home, so I bought it instead. Assembly time was under an hour, so I was pleased, plus it looks nice.
NOT -- Free-standing floor lamp. Not very bright, but not too shabby for eight bucks.
ANTIFONI -- Free-standing, versatile directional lamp. Swivels and bends into any position for desk work. Looks like a giant version of Luxo (of Pixar fame).
SUNDBY -- A tall, pretty lamp to go on my nightstand. Turns on and off by pulling a chain hanging down from the light fixture.
NA-SHADE-- Brown lamp shade for my Sundby lamp.
ISBRYTARE -- Halogen spotlight for bedtime reading and to project pictures on the wall behind me while I'm at the computer. Right now it's a pattern of blue squares and it kinda reminds me of the contestants' background on "Press Your Luck."
KOPPLA -- Three-outlet surge protector (comes in a two-pack). I thought there was a rule that surge protectors had to have six outlets... shows you what I know!
RAKET -- Three-pack of 4"x6" photo frames. You can never have enough, and they were a steal at a buck ninty-nine.
FIXA -- Where else but Ikea are you gonna pick up a hammer, pliers, adjustable wrench and interchangeable screwdriver with 11 bits for under six bucks?
DOKUMENT -- It's a trash can. It was $3.
