I never get what I go out for

Its always happened to me. Innumerable times. I go for something else, and I get something else. Sometimes I end up regretting my decisions, and sometimes its pure serendipity.

So, I am trying to furnish my room - and I need a TV stand. After doing some research, I go to IKEA which is 20 miles away. But I did not really like any of the TV stands that they had. So, I am looking around trying to find an excuse for not going back empty handed - and I see the 6 shelf Expedit bookcase.
Now I need a bookcase too, so I go over to it and in the notes by the product, they say we can put the shelf horizontally as well as vertically... and bazinga.... pure epiphany strikes me.

I can put my TV on this shelf if I put it horizontally ! There is my TV stand. I am so smart (Those are the exact words that I thought to myself. Seriously). Now I have the bookshelf, I wonder if it will hold my 37" TV ...

Ah well, I am gonna use it as a TV stand and we will see how it goes. I might need to change my opinion about myself, but I don't care :)


Also, need to assemble it tonight - won't get time next week, as I am off to LA for an official trip...
