rug.

Well, on this very rainy Sunday instead of out in the mountains on Matthew's and my epic Stuart Range traverse I found myself instead on my couch caramel latte in hand reading a bit more of David Roberts' memoirs On The Ridge Between Life and Death and various browsings on my PowerBook and then the sun came out for a brief moment which made me remember I had wanted to take a quick photo of my new living room rug that I (well, someone may disagree) found at Ikea that is perfect. Not only is it perfect for my living room–because of the rectangular pattern and all the right angles which will match the paneling I will be installing in here whenever it is I get around to this room (and despite the fact I have done literally nothing to this room I still like to look back on what it looked like when I first moved in)–but it only cost thirty bucks! And rugs are expensive. And of the things I do not mind spending good money for, um, rugs are not one of them. So this worked out amazingly and the only question that remains which I have mostly already answered is should I get the slightly larger one?

Eventually I am going to be getting this coffee table and I think the bigger one will look slightly better with that in place. But regardless, it is the perfect rug and it is nice to have even a five-by-seven soft piece of something to step on in my house (all hardwood and vinyl-to-be-stone-or-tile flooring right now). And there is a lot to do in the plans for this room but I will save that for another day.

Now back to reading. If the sun stays out–later, a walk.
