But even while Rome is burning, there is somehow time for shopping at IKEA.

You know, just the basics. A shower curtain, towels, a bed, oh I need a couch and a matching leather chair, a love seat, and a lamp, and a desk and a desk chair and another lamp over there. And oh, don't forget about the sideboard that matches the desk and a dresser for the bedroom. And oh, I need a coffee table and a couple end tables, and a TV stand for the TV still need to buy.
And now that I think about it, I'm going to want my apartment to be my style, you know, my own motif. So I need certain decoratives to spruce up the decor. But wait, what exactly my style? And do these stainless steel picture frames embody that particular style? Does this replica Matisse sketch accurately capture my edgy but professional vibe? Exactly how edgy am I? What espresso maker defines me as a man? Does the fact that I'm asking these questions preclude me from being a quote, "man's man"? How many plates and cups and bowls should a man own? I guess I need a dining room table, too, right? And a rug for the entryway and a bath mats. What about that one thing that's sort of like a rug but longer? Yeah, a runner. I'm going to need one of those.
And I'm also going to need... hell, what else do I need?"
