I don't think they were meant to be, but there you have it. Haven't read Hunger Games, but I have a meter for my entertainment, called, "What percent happy is it?" coined by my oldest child some 15 years ago. If it isn't at least something like 75% happy, it is not for me. Ikea is like the place where Wal-mart shoppers would buy furniture, if they were smart enough to put the stuff together. Okay, that was super snarky of me. But I don't like either place very much, I'm afraid:( Ikea is one of those places I would really love to like, but just can't. So there it is.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18117057526022675337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-39168452715756812652010-03-22T11:04:25.683-06:002010-03-22T11:04:25.683-06:00I don't like the Twilight movies either.
I ha...I don't like the Twilight movies either.<br /><br />I haven't read the Hunger Games yet although everyone says they are amazing. So, interesting. <br /><br />And neither my husband or I like Ikea, or their taste in furniture. *gasp* I don't see how furniture that looks like something you would find in a college dorm could be considered amazing.<br /><br />I expect someone will manage to throw rocks at our windows at some point upon reading this comment. =)Serene is my name, not my life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02181359150279923307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-70141128939256281952010-03-22T05:55:58.341-06:002010-03-22T05:55:58.341-06:00I really liked the books and was supremely disappo...I really liked the books and was supremely disappointed in the first movie.

I had an anxious pit in my stomach the entire time I read it, but I like books like that anyway. I like Ikea because it's cheap, but I'm not a fan of much of their furniture. I really like their organizational stuff, especially in the kitchen.Controlling My Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048341331287236076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-3366974282408403792010-03-21T18:22:49.622-06:002010-03-21T18:22:49.622-06:00Oh dear.

The books were okay but Bella's fawning got SO old it was embarassing- couldn't bring myself to see the whining acted out on the big screen.<br /><br />I chose not to read the Hunger Games because I'd heard it was dark and disturbing. I don't read for social enlightenment, I read for pure, happy escapism thus I chose to remain literarily uncultured.<br /><br />We must diverge at IKEA. While much of it I have no use for, I have gotten some sweet deals and sweet stuff there.

Have you tried their steak knifes? Good cheap knifes. They have some awesome organizers and kitchen gadgets. Though I am with you on the furniture... unless you are trying to outfit an apartment for your son who just moved across country in one tiny beat up car to go to dental school and you only have a few bucks and one day to do so. IKEA rocked! From a table, dressers, desk, bedding, chairs lamps and all cooking/eating equipment. We left VA feeling he just might survive!:') And the BEST thing was he left everything there when his four years was finished, because it wasn't worth anything to move it back across the country!

(sorry don't hate me since i know you like the books---same goes for you, cherie. i promise i'm still a good pal!) but we're that way about harry potter too. we don't feel real keen on it so its not for our family. <br />as for the hunger games, what's that? never heard of it. but that doesn't mean much. we also don't watch tv, so it could be a book, a new series, a movie, a cd for all i know. <br />as for ikea, i've never bought their furniture. doesn't strike me as very sturdy...maybe i'm off on that. also, the style of the furniture is too cold & institutional for me. that doesn't mean i haven't bought stuff there, but i like some of their organizing ideas (i love cubbys, racks, & bins---order is heaven!). and i have bought some linens there due to the colors which fit daisy's decor perfectly. other than that, yeah...i wasn't channeling sheep, more like rat in a maze. but that's just me. as big as ikea is, it overwhelms me. i don't like to be overwhelmed. i prefer to be whelmed or underwhelmed, and that's it. nothing more, please. seriously, your hearing from a girl who have a phobia about menus at restaurants, including McD's. i mean really, how many gajillion times have i eaten at McD's in my lifetime, and i still have to examine every inch of the menu board, and it takes like 10 minutes for me to place my order cause it's all too much! my astrology-lovin' sister would say it's cause i'm a libra and am naturally indecisive. i think its because i was born in the wrong time period. i'd have done much better in a time when things were what they were & people were satisfied with what they had. they didn't need the latest & greatest. humble living....like caddie woodlawn or laura ingalls wilder. i'd have been better. what was for dinner was whatever mom made, which was whatever pa had hunted down. no "but i wanted macaroni & cheese from the BLUE box!"....catching my drift? but again, that's just me. <br />so how 'bout them confessions?! =)LKPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019853375609203048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-28595349200719756852010-03-19T00:35:43.787-06:002010-03-19T00:35:43.787-06:00Oops, "Heard" of the Hunger Games.
