My new couch-bed-dining table!

L.A. seems to have this underground couch exchange constantly going on that I just became aware of last night. Evidently, if you have a couch that you no longer want, you can just put it out on the curb and then whoever wants it can just come along and take it.

Someone in my ward gave me a call last night because he knew that I don't have any furniture at all except for my keyputer, and someone was moving out just a couple of blocks from where I live and no longer wanted their old poopy couch.

I had just barely gotten home at the time, so I ran over to where it was, grabbed the cushions and ran back to my apartment, laughing like a bandit the whole way.

I then ran back and grabbed one of the sections and tried to laugh like a bandit as I carried it awkwardly back to my place, but it was a little more difficult than I had expected, so my laughing was more of a grunt. So then I called the guy who tipped me off, and he came back with his truck and helped me move the rest of it.



Admittedly, it's one of the ugliest and least comfortable couches I've ever seen, what with it not having a back or anything, but I think that with a few well placed blankets/couch covers, and some new pillows to act as back cushions, it could be a nice addition to this place. I covered one piece with a tapestry that I have, and I think it would look okay if I can find a couple more like it.

Beggars can't be choosers. I'm just happy that I can sit on it.

  1. That 'tapestry' is one of the dumbest, ugliest things I've ever seen and I can't believe you still have it. Getting more like it would be one of the biggest mistakes of a lifetime.
