Redecorating

It is amazingly hard to find the perfect wedding gift for a friend of mine's upcoming nuptials. The perfect gift that says, "You are a great friend, I hope you are happy for many years, but I still think your hubby-to-be is a complete hoser."

Anyways, I just spent the last hour or so after getting home from that frustrating shopping trip redecorating parts of my house. Vaguely pointless since I don't know how much longer I'll be here (keep expecting the landlord to say "Can you be gone in thirty days, going to sell this place.") but I figured that I had a good enough reason to want to do it.

Basically, it came down to this thought: "I bet I'd probably get more drawing done if I had my drawing table in a room that wasn't 50 degrees." My drawing table had been in my bedroom, the single room in this place that is the hardest to heat. I swear that the heat just gets sucked out of the room, which I don't mind too much as I tend to sleep better in a cooler room then a warmer one. But it meant I didn't draw much since I would get very cold very fast sitting still at the desk over a sketch pad.

So I hauled the drawing table into my office, re-arranged furniture a little, swapped my anime from one of my short bookshelves to a tall one and hauled it into here and then yanked my art books off my tall bookshelf to put on it. Nice little space now, computer desk, drawing table, small bookshelf, space heater, pile of loose papers big enough to hide a body under.

Huh... I suppose I probably should sort and file those papers before they fall on the space heater and catch fire... Or at least I should poke the pile with something sharp a few times to make sure there isn't someone hiding underneath it.

You could monogram something with her existing initials...? Gift certificate for a good divorce lawyer...? Or maybe just one good for free rebound sex. Heh.

I am actually leaning towards getting her something off of her Amazon wishlist, and throwing a single pair of mens socks in for him.

Don't want to be too pointed about it, since I think the gifts are going to be opened in front of a crowd of people of which a good portion will be related to him.

But I like the idea of giving a gift where thought has been clearly put into her part, and absolutely no regard for him in his half.

Yes, I am an ass.
