Shad, Kimi and I went to the Winchester Mystery House over the weekend. It's right here in San Jose, so it wasn't even far. We did the mansion tour, and the behind the scenes tour. I took a lot of pictures, but they're not very well organized yet, as I just bundled them into JAlbum. (Note that there are multiple pages, next page link is at the top left.)

If you don't know the story... Sarah Winchester, widow to the president of the Winchester Rifle manufacturer, built a very large Victorian mansion. Legend has it that she was afraid spirits would come after her if she stopped construction. As a result, the mansion is huge and there are staircases that lead to nowhere, doors that open into walls, and doors that open into drops.

Oh, and also. Shad and I went furniture shopping over the weekend, and I bought a bed! My very own pretty and uber-comfortable plush bed. (You have to understand that I've never actually gotten to pick out and buy a bed before.) I got a deal on the bed itself because it won't be delivered until 1-2 weeks after I moved, but the mattress will be delivered the day I move, and that's what counts. And Kimi is full of such wonderful decorating ideas. She's even giving me a bunch of red sari fabric. I'm torn as to whether I should use it for drapes or a comforter, but it's gorgeous.

What else...? Had dinner with a number of iPix/Ebay? people Saturday. Thumper and Funjon are home from Europe/Asia, yay :) And I got to meet Elfi and Pavlov tonight.
