Spring cleaning

It’s still technically spring, right?

Anyways, as a part of removing the big table from my room and preparing to make a new one (a process that might be temporary put on hold because of the inflated price of wood, still working on that), I’ve been pruning the amount of random stuff in my room. So far, I’ve found:

• My paintings from the one painting class I took, that I thought were shit (the class was fine, my paintings were shit, I know that creators are their own biggest critics, but I still have a lot of improving to do in painting)
• The first cosplay I ever had for a convention, including the extension cord I had taped to it for authenticity.
• Three boxes of checks
• A terrifying large self-portrait
• My dad’s old technical drafting supplies
• A collection of dust bunnies that, while not large enough to develop a bicameral system of government, was probably capable of farming, metal tool production, and written history.

So now I have no table (no big table, I still have the small computer desk that I’m writing this on), a new larger bookshelf that doubles as also a stuff shelf, a giant trunk for Nerf guns, and two shelf systems that are mostly empty and exist mostly because it’s incredibly hot outside and I don’t want to do anything strenuous. So, progress.

I’m also considering a new car, since the car I’m currently using has multiple non-emergency problems, like the AC going out. That’s probably going to be the subject of a later entry.

Oh, and a phone, my battery is starting to be suspect. Yay, spending money.

Song of the Week: Shout by Scandroid (originally by Tears for Fears). Scandroid is a side project for Celldweller, an artist working mainly in electronic music, but also with an amount of real instruments. I categorize Celldweller in the category of “music that makes you want to do things”: aggressive tempo, driving bass and percussion, and uncomplicated lyrics, so you can sort of melt into the rhythm. Scandroid, on the other hand, is all 80s synth, but still fun.
