I always get the urge to ‘Rip it up and Start Again’, i suppose i just always need a million projects to work on. So pretty much the day after my exams finished, i decided to create some new stress. I dismantled all the furniture in my room and made plans to build loads of shelves in my room. I’ve ammassed loads of books recently, i seem to buy/find/steal about 20 a month, I read loads, i love it. Just the other week i got a parcel from Little Type containing Dr Franks new book “King Dork”. And the new Aaron Cometbus mini-novel “I wish there was something to quit”. Anyway, thats just an example, they are both great books. Buy em.

So anyway, my room, so far my progress is slow, i get distracted easily. I have cleaned the mould off most of the walls. My house has a damp problem, so i kinda just have to live with it, not having enough money to fix it all up and everything. Now i just need to fins some wood to make the bookshelves out of. I’m hoping i’ll just run into about eight 2 metre lengths of decent wood to use. but i suppose i’ll just have to buy some. Anyway, its kinda fun work, because i keep unearthing things I had forgotten about, like train tickets to weird places, or signs stolen off posh golf courses.

But yeah, i’ll hopefully have it all finished before i go to south africa in a few weeks (more on that later). Then i can sit in my newly furnished and uncluttered room (yeah right) reading books in the wicker chair that i swear is about 50 years old.
