Crazy Storms + Around the Interwebs (Sorry for the Lateness)

Last night was a pretty crazy night. My girlfriend came over after work and we started packing up my collection of old video games since we are moving soon and then we made some dinner. It wasn't long after we were making dinner that her mom called us saying that huge storms were on the way and that we needed to get into the basement. We decided we were ok and that we would go into the basement if we really needed to. We started to watch Toy Story 3 and then the sirens started going off and then the power went out soon there after. We lit up some candles and headed down to the basement to hang out around the Chromcraft Table. I went back upstairs to grab my old Ms. Pac Man Board game to play since we were bored, but we gave up on that since the instructions were too difficult. We waited and waited but the power never came back on and we just pulled out my laptop to watch a movie while the storm passed. When the storm did pass, my girlfriend left which was around 11:30-12:00pm. There was no power anywhere when she left but she made it home ok. My power at my house is still out and at least 70% of my town still has no power. I'm sure it will be back by the end of the day. Here is a picture of the tree that fell down across my street.

Craigslist Add of the Day.

Here is an interesting ad. I really like the end table in this ad. I think that it is pretty wild looking and If it were any closer I might consider getting it. The only problem is that its all the way over in Norfolk Virginia and the pictures aren't very good. It looks like it could be a pretty awesome piece for $40 but I'm still not too sure about this one. Here is a link to the original ad.

eBay Ad of the Day

I absolutely LOVE this chair! It looks fabulous on so many levels! The red! The Wood! The Angles! The Curves! They all come together in such a beautiful way! I just want tao plop my buttocks down on that chair so badly! I wish I could have this one to sit right next to my Milo Baughman chair but I simply cant afford the price tag that has been bestowed upon this chair. It was styled by none other than Vladimir Kagan and it is incredibly beautiful. The seller has it priced currently at a "Buy It Now" at $9750. That's more than my car cost, but man is this chair beautiful. Check out the original ad here.
