My first prolonged visit at an IKEA store. I don’t remember the arrows on the floor from when I was at the one in the West Edmonton Mall as a teenager. I definitely don’t remember the child day case centre. Or the Swedish food market, for that matter. Or the restaurant and cafe. Or the gigantic elevator with the max capacity of 74 people. But I think I now know the Swedish word for a fly swatter.
I gots me a new DVD player. A Polaroid PDV-0700K Portable DVD Player. I even found a way to make it region-free, using a built-in function on the player itself. I’m not going to tell you how, but I will say the number 1379 is important (I’m slightly surprised they didn’t use the number 1337; it means “elite” in hacker terminology). I might have a reason to go to the cottage more often now. My Dad finally received an iPod of his own (40GB version), so in much the same manner as the A&W Burger family, we are the Apple iPod family.
My brother and I gave each other board games. Risk: Lord of the Rings Trilogy for me, and HeroScape for him.
And as a late Christmas present, I bought myself a Kodak EasyShare DX7590 at BestBuy.ca for $570 CAD. Needless to say, I’m not going bargain hunting on Boxing Day today, as I think I found one yesterday.
More to come, time permitting.
