This is what happens when I'm left alone with the dog for 5 days

It's refilling its bladder right now, so I have to be quick.

Just have to point out that I LOVE THIS WEB SITE: 

"But thelaurenbell!" you may protest, "First of all, man have the Internets missed you! But also, that's just a shitty off-price furniture Web site! There aren't even cool graphics or ridiculous slogans! WHYYYY?"

Well, thanks, dear readers, and, yes, I know. However! A person with the will and the wallet to do so may buy a TIKI HUT on this site. Or more than one, in a variety of shapes and sizes. You could build a whole tiki village, filled with villagers and/or neighboring children paid off with ice pops in which to live out any and all of your tiki fantasies. 

This idea tickles me. As does the memory of a particularly stirring episode of the OC, in which Ryan builds a tiki sex hut on the beach for a night of (presumably awkward) passion with Marissa Cooper. God, I love that show.

Speaking of shows, here I have a segue about one: the other reason why I love this Web site is because they are selling a "Michael Scott" line of furniture. I like to think these simple wood-hewn pieces are meant to evoke the Michael Scott character from The Office (see! another show! segueeeeee). This, too, tickles me. 

Not having seen most of the latest season of The Office, I can only assume that these products are actually a bizarr-o commercial tie-in to an episode arc wherein Michael leaves the company to become a cabinet-maker. During commercial breaks, when they're telling you to read Dwight's blog and look inside Creed's fridge, they added a bit exhorting viewers to actually buy Michael's $800 tables. Good work, NBC. I am now going to search this site for electric mixers endorsed by Ben Linus from Lost. Because...I dunno, I was looking for other character names, but I really like the evil crazy that is Ben. Whatever.
