so i'm wondering. i was going to get an ottoman from ikea. (i've been all over town this week, trying to not go to ikea, because i want a storage ottoman or possibly two, so i'm going in all the furniture stores lifting up the tops of ottomans. ikea is a drive away in houston. so i'm in all these places lifting up their ottomans - guess how many storage ottomans there are in town. One. One storage ottoman, which was certainly very nice, but which was over $500, and that's just not an option. i'm not looking for serious furniture here, people, i'm looking for a storage ottoman just like the one at ikea, but that i don't have to either (a)go to houston for or (b) order off the internet. Because furniture is just way too big to order off the internet. And in all these stores only one person has asked if they can help me find anything ... you'd think, all these stupid students with their rich daddies and their disposable income, you'd think somebody would be looking for their fucking commision. So i got to lift a lot of ottomans.) but then today i was in walmart (yeah, i know, walmart, fuck) and there were storage ottomans. Three different colors. and they're smaller than the ikea ones, and maybe not so pleasant a place to sit as they're rather lower to the ground as well, and probably not quite as much storage inside each one. Probably you couldn't fit a blanket in, for example. but they're also $25 instead of, oh, $70. and i'm thinking, what, do i want four of these little silly ones? maybe three? and i dunno. i didn't get them. but it was a conundrum.
