Charlie's new favorite place

Ikea.

Yes. Charlie's new favorite place is Ikea. We went there yesterday with my friend so she could look at chairs, and Charlie thought the little display rooms were, hands down, the coolest thing he'd ever seen. They really rather are, actually. They're set up to really look like small flats, or bedrooms with limited space. His favorite was this two bedroomed 'flat'. When we were finished shopping he didn't want to go. That's not something you often hear from a 9 year old boy shopping with his mother.

In other news, I got my CD/DVD burner thingy installed but now, for some reason, the stupid bloody speakers aren't bloody working. We checked the sound card in the tower thingy, but it's fine, the speakers are plugged in and working - they make feedback noise - I've troubleshot everything I can think of and they're still not working. Arugh.

Techies? Anyone? What did I do?

In the 'big world, small internet' catagory, I have a new LJ friend, robriki who is someone I went to college with. She found me on someone's journal. Weird, huh?
