#so I started on a bookcase

“Nothing lasts forever….”
Day 2 - Spiders
#m draws#good omens#good omens 2#inktober#y’all I SWEAR I was gonna do something cute#but then I drew the chair#and I was too scared to add Aziraphale in immediately so I was going to add Crowley in the back#then I realized my perspective is wrong for what I wanted#but I did too well on the chair#so I started on a bookcase#and suddenly perspective just CLICKED#literally so sad I didn’t do this digitally so I could get exact angles#because y’all have no idea how excited I got when I realized I finally understood perspective somewhat#anyway#here’s an abandoned book shop#I also got way too tired to put in details after I got some of the basic shapes so I gave up#same with adding the desk and the clock#we’ll just pretend they were sold or Aziraphale or Crowley took them

i really am the kind of bitch who loves reading textbooks huh
#not to be obnoxious but i totally do#i keep saying i don't have time for recreational reading but my biochem textbook? organic chem? physics? psych? chem????#i WILL get burned out eventually. i will. but rn i'm having sm fun w my full study days.#absolutely salivating to start sarah bakewell's at the existentialist cafe soon#a stack is sitting in my bookcase waiting to be read. i miss reading like i used to. i miss it sm#but i just got done w an intense study session and so. much. serotonin#i've just been studying and working out and taking walks and applying my lip balm and spritzing on a yummy perfume and vibing to music#and. as always. minding my own fucking business#studying and consuming knowledge is actually part of my self care routine. if i don't i feel like utter shit#someone talk science w me i would literally fall in love w u#p

this entire trip back to texas for the wedding i have realized my dad is so autistic and that's literally the only thing wrong with him
#last night i was so stoned and he came up to me asking where my mom was and pretended to be angry at me and when i almost started crying#he laughed and said he was joking#and i was standing there paralyzed and shaking like a tiny dog#this man has absolutely no self awareness or any idea how his emotions affect others#i'm terrified of him#(he also has a huge train collection and MASSIVE comic cook collection that takes up easily four huge bookcases)#how did i not see this before

Give me opportunity for minimalism and I will kill it with clutter and color.
My room was driving me crazy while it was empty, I'm so happy to have it (mostly) put back together now
#so pumped to have all my bookcases back in my room#got a new shelf/drawer combo from the antique store#probably increased hobby storage by 50%#room feels cozy and full again#need to find a sorting solution for my bits#I want to get something like the sets of drawers my uncle uses for screws and washers#let me categorize my bits again instead of having things all loosy goosy in baggies#need to finish more mini projects so I can free up space for quilting#they had a sale on fabric at the antique store#so I've officially started my quilting supply pile

the only bad thing about being the person in this corner of the spaghetti western fandom who reads all the novelizations and tells you if they're worth it or not, is that they can be very difficult to find and like twenty to twenty-five dollars a pop for sixties-seventies mass market paperbacks that were never intended to be read more than once
#i do want to see brian fox's take on the return of sabata but not for twenty three dollars in goddamn acceptable condition#i like my paperbacks to be Very Good at minimum for a reading copy so they don't literally fall apart in my hands#i would not want to read my copy of red river twice#they're a good treat for like an end of quarter report when i can time it out so they will sort of get here on time for the reward#and the thing to be linked in my head but boy howdy is that an expensive little stack on my bookcase#also hopefully i will get an offer on something before i have to really start doing the actual quarterly report work bc i dont wanna do it#cowboyblogging#why are all of my hobbies out of my current price range and where is my rich lesbian sugar m*lf

Being a very unfit and moderately small person trying to build bad quality flatpack furniture is like do I take the lower back pain from trying to bend myself into bizarre positions or ask for someone else to help, bearing in mind that it will end in a lot of shouting
#I'll take the back pain but I'm starting to regret it#What is it about asking people to help build flatpack furniture that makes them so argumentative though#I just asked you to hold the wood in place so it doesn't get bent and scratched while I put this screw in four feet away#I did not ask for a panicked shouting match as if we're trying to save a beached whale#Like it's ok there are no lives at stake#You can just hold the wood without worrying loudly about what I'm doing#But my baaaaack#It's really the flatpack wood that's the problem it'll pop out of shape or snap or scratch or end up lopsided with the slightest provocation#So I have to try and put my whole body weight on one end while screwing in the other#Or get creative with stacks of books but in the most recent case I didn't have space#45 minutes my ARSE not when you're doing it alone and the diagrams aren't very clear#Just to make it clear by the way I do ENJOY building flatpack furniture; I understand the instructions and the process#What I don't enjoy is having to choose between back pain or having someone panicking during my quiet furniture building time#As it is I've had to leave the bookcase I was working on upside down overnight unfinished#And I bet the back panels are going to bow and warp because I've had to stop as it was too late to start hammering at 10 pm#Earth & Stone

Tagged by @ravenkings (😘😘) to post 9 books I'm planning to read in 2023. I am also concentrating on making some progress on my To Read pile this year, so most of these are books I've already gotten my hands on, but haven't gotten around to reading (or just haven't finished) yet.
tagging: @kecharitomene, @thelovelygods, @a-story-teller, @iskarieot, @morgainelefaey
#second year I've had essex serpent on this list lol#and I haven't made any progress on the master and margarita since I got interrupted in 2020#it's one of those books where you have to read it all in one go or you get lost and can't start back up without a lot of rereading#hopefully I can force myself to go through that this year#started book of dreams last year but didn't finish it before the year's end#and peshawar lancers has been on my bookcase for almost as long as Gloriana so I really want to get that read#tagged#ravenkings#books#reading

Quick question for the homies who have a bookshelf to display their kpop albums and/or mangas and figures, what kind of method or style do you like?
#rn everything is mostly being put up like a regular bookshelf for the mangas and books and the albums are kinda going horizontal & vertical#it’s mostly dependant on the size of the albums or the actual shelf part cuz I got the billy bookcase so it’s not all evenly spaced apart#the very top is big enough to fit my largest albums & lightstick and I was thinking of maybe realigning it once I got the short bookcase#tho that might have to wait a bit until I spontaneously rearrange my room after the new year starts#and maybe clean out my closet and put the few things in my wardrobe in there so I could dismantle it and put it in storage#cuz honestly living with 2 closet spaces since 2016/2017 for 1 room that wasn’t being shared between me and my sister is not the best idea#my dad had at the time cuz that closet is pretty much the section for work clothes now 💀💀#and the closet only has maybe 25% space used on the hanger since I did put some of the other clothes away in a fabric storage thingy#which is where I mostly stuck the pants/shorts/skirts I couldn’t hang up#but yeah back to the book case cuz now that I’m 23 I wanna commit to my idea of expanding the virgin corner into the virgin wall lmao#maybe ask my dad if we could hook up the extra tv we have once the vision came to be#so yeah dk y’all have a certain way of displaying especially if you have an album or book cover you really liked?#or how you also might place some figures and acrylics cuz I just feel like idk what I’m doing even if I do look at other people’s set up#or even shelf arrangement cuz my friend said it was an adhd nightmare to find something when she needed to look for something#and it was on my shelf just two levels down from her eye level from where she sat😅

Hm keep having the same...Dream? Nightmare? Anyway maybe I should take it as a warning...
#in the dream/nightmare a stranger opens the door and throws a small explosive device into the house and then runs away.#in the dream this time at least he had other people with him behind him but they still left afterwards#hm this time we needed to go drive somewhere for some reason and everything in the area we drove thru were Weird. all the people were scary#like we knew they were a threat and it was palpable#they were also dressed like somewhere between rennie and appropriated and twisted native american outfits#or vikings too but i guess thats why i thought rennie#uh and i hid my star of david. so you can get that the overall tone of the nightmare was antisemitism is a threat#since its a dream things kept changing etc#like it started totally differently jt started w me and steph waiting for a table at a small restaurant and for some reason like#we were kept waiting all the way until they closed#also at some pt i was outside and saw a kitten and it ran up to me and i picked it up#and then i was back inside the restaurant and hm somehow put the kitten down in a space where it wouldnt be able to jump out and run around#and then when dream us realized we weren't going to be seated before they closed for the day we left and walked home#and at some pt later realized id left the kitten but coulsnr go back bc they were closed and went oh i hope it becomes their shop kitten w#and then the scary parts started and it was... hm. and also the restaurant had the same thing happen to it but was damaged but magically w#we were lucky but then the thought was next time it could be much worse if xyz happened and then i pushed my mind to move on#hm but i do remember yelling in the dream that we should do x so it cant happen#and then i started thinking we should have a back door for emergencies but where woukd it go without us having to remove the radiator or tbe#bookcase but we cant do that and then i was like ooh moving bookcase that hides the door frkm the knside idk#anyway weird and disturbing scary dreams

im not booktok’s intended audience and am a hashtag hater for many reasons but jack edwards is doing something right
#to that point i think a lot of individual creators who contribute to booktok contribute in a productive way to#literature and fostering passion for it and helping the masses find the interest to improve their own#critical thinking skills but the hive mind of it all does 10x as much damage as the good#but regardless jack edwards taking his education and his love of literature and speaking booktok’s language while being critical and#uniquely funny and finding a new way to make a living off of a literature degree is compelling#very genuinely he’s an inspiration to me career wise#and i want his bookcase sososososo bad not only the shelves themselves but his collection as well#forgot he existed for awhile but we’re so back#which is to say in an unforeseen incident i finished reading all the books i had set aside for winter break and winter break has not even#started yet so i am looking for recommendations and i trust his

I return after a week to announce most of my property is destroyed.
There was a fire in the storage facility I use, back at the end of August. They did not let us have access to our property until mid-November, by which time the residual water damage was severe. I lost all my furniture, about 70-90% of my 700+ books collection, including the entire WOT (twice over as I had most in both paperback and hardcover), Queen's Thief series by @meganwhalenturner, the 25-30 Discworld by Terry Pratchett books I had thus far managed to collect, and a significant collection of Anne McCaffrey books. All ruined by mold and water warping.
And in the same week I also managed to kill my second computer in a year (or year and a half). So that was horrible.
Anyway, I have spent the last week trying to save clothing/linen, one or two small pieces of furniture that maybe survived, and the like 10% of books which have no mold (one box out of 13 remained completely dry) or only a little mold - including a gold leaf covered Torah from my grandpa, who passed several years ago.
Its been exhausting, and I still have way more work to do. So yeah.
That was my week.
How'd everyone else's go?
#personal#fire#ruined property#books#booklr#its all gone and i am so fucking sad#my vintage solid wood and glass curio cabinet!#my solid wood (maybe mahogany) five shelf bookcase#my other plywood bookcases and cabinets#my couch#my bed and bed set stuff like sidetables and dresser#all fucking ruined#so angry and sad and just....devasted#and do not get me started on the books and games and various other items destroyed
