Ugh, still sniffling and sneezing away with a slight headache. I want to go out, but I know it's not a great idea when I'm sick. Well at the very least I need to eat and I haven't had anything yet. Gives me an excuse to get out of my apartment. The good thing about these curtains is that you can keep your apartment almost pitch black so you don't feel like you are stuck in a coffin at all day. :)
On a slightly different note I've been doing more furniture shopping lately. I thought I had decided to get a futon, and I still may. A futon on a hardwood floor doesn't seem like a good idea though. Mold appears to be a major issue. You really need to fold it up and let it air out every day. That's where tatami and a proper storage closet come into play and I have neither. Cheap ones aren't that much and I suppose I can try.
I was back on the sofa bed line of thought, but I still haven't really found one I like here. Bad design, terrible color choice, wrong materials, poorly made, lack of covers. They don't seem built for daily use. Some are really expensive. Ikea looks like the best, but that extra 15cm depth makes them seem huge. Nearly 7% of the width of my room, plus it's little wider. I feel like I'd be throwing the others away in a year or two. Hmm, is that really such a bad thing? Ah, who am I kidding, just get something cheap.
After all that I decided I'm hungry. I'm going to get dressed and get something to eat.
