A post about nothing

I haven't written anything in the past few days because there has been nothing to write about. I've been busy handeeling all my Summer schoolwork such as writing two three-page papers that are due Monday. Actually, there is another three-page paper due on Wednesday as well. So, I have three papers totaling up to a minimum of nine pages. Not a lot, but it's just a lot to handle at the moment. Next week is also the release of the 2012 Core Set for Magic: The Gathering. I'm excited for that. On top of that is Sam's doctor's appointment. I just have a lot of stuff planned on top of school. Summer is killer.

Yesterday, though, Sam and I went out to see if we could find a bed for when we move out of current apartment. Since this one was fully-furnished, I don't own any of the important furniture. So, since we have to move out we got to find a bed or else we're on an air mattress. I don't know about anyone else, but I personally hate air mattresses. Sure, they get the job done but they can wreak havoc on my back. And, I already hardly get a good night's rest now. My arm is always in an uncomfortable position. I digress, Sam and I were looking for a place that sells mattresses, preferably with the box spring. We looked into Wal*Mart and they had nothing. Sam's Club sold them for a minimum of $300 without the box spring. And then, we checked out this one place called Furniture Deals. Deals my ass, they sold top of the line mattresses that started out at $400. No luck there so we moved on. I had spotted a small store one day after we went shopping at Sam's Club a few days prior and I headed there. Along the way, there was another small mattress store. Both of the placed offered us a mattress and box spring for $170.

It took us about a two hours to end up with a mattress at a preferred cost. My issue is, beds are important. Why sell these expensive ones when regular people can't afford them. And, how does Wal*Mart not sell them? Sure, not everyone needs a mattress often  like they need shampoo, but they sell desks and what not. It's a freaking bed, people will need to buy one especially in a college area like where I live. It just seems a little inane is all.

Anyways, after we found a bed, we headed off to Paladin Tech & Games. A comic and game store. There, Sam found Candyland. I never played Candyland but we picked it up cause Sam wanted it. We got home and played a few games. Luck based it may be, but the game loved giving Sam all the character cards so she sped in front of me. I only won the first game we played. I'll admit, playing it was fun. I didn't think it would be, but I it was enjoyable. Guess in between looking for a bed and writing two papers, kicking back and playing a children's game was just a welcomed activity.

I guess I lied. There was a lot of stuff that happened.
