Air Mattress Incident (Part 2)

Ok, so you heard about my air mattress. A couple of days ago things got worse. Another seam broke off as I had predicted. It's amazing how large the mattress can stretch because the resulting bump was humongus. The bed became slanted and it was hard to sleep. Also the bed was so big it had deformed into an oval shape. It used to be rectangular. Being oval, it actually extends to my bathroom door. I finally broke down and had to buy a replacement.

I did research and a regular queen sized mattress would have cost around $300 and an air mattress around $30-60. I was only gonna be in Ohio for one more year.

So, I went to Walmart today and bought a $40 queen sized air mattress. I had to purchase the air pump too. I have to throw away the old pump because it was integrated into the old mattress.
The new mattress is smaller and it has an integrated pillow. The seams are more comfortable to sleep on too. The longitudinal seams of the old mattress were very uncomfortable. Then, my sheets now fit perfectly.

Air Mattress Incident (Part 1)

So I was on my air mattress bed yesterday, and all of a sudden it started to make a popping sound, then a ripping sound. I felt my bed move and then rise up. I was like WTF! I thought my bed was gonna blow.

It looks like one of the seams ripped apart and caused a huge longitudinal hump on my bed. Luckily it's not in the middle, or my sleeping space would be effectively cut in half. That means I'm gonna keep using it. I'm too cheap to buy a regular bed since I'm only in Ohio for one more year and the air mattress is pretty firm.

My bed continues to make ripping sounds when I lie on it, and I think the other seams will probably give away too. I just hope I can continue to use it even if they all rip apart. I hope the bed doesn't turn into a large round ball when all the seams rip.

In other news, yesterday I joined Facebook. It's a pretty nice website. I found a lot of friends on it...much more than Friendster, which I don't use often. Facebook also has a better search function for your friends. I think partly because they require you to use your "real" name, you can search for a friend without knowing their nicknames or email addresses.
