For reasons unbeknownst to me, I decided to undertake in an immense cleaning operation. I’ve so far filled 3 rather large plastic bags full of items that are on their way out. Mostly old CDs and crap like that. It’s crazy how much stuff a person accumulates over a course of three years (that’s how long I’ve lived in my flat). I started yesterday as a matter of fact but got distracted after I came across Starship Troopers 2 on my Mac and for some peculiar reason decided to waste two hours of my life watching it. So I didn’t get much done yesterday, but since I have no plans today (or tomorrow), I’ll be getting this place shiny.
What I have noticed is how my bookcase seems to have shrunk. It used to have ample space for all my clutter, but now it’s just filled with books like ‘Java In A Nutshell’ and ‘Learning PHP & MySQL’ - yes, the cornerstones of everyone’s bookcase. I have tried balancing the load with some easy reading material — Liar’s Poker, Freakonomics and The Google Story — but I’ve yet to find the time to wade through them. Maybe soon.
I took my old CD racks down and moved them into the attic — I didn’t really like them and they were always kinda in the way. The only problem I have now is that I have around 250 CDs piled (neatly) on my dining table, waiting for a place to put them. I guess I should look into buying a bigger bookcase so I can fit all my stuff somewhere. Muurame have some nice pieces that I might consider.
I’m also still missing any kind of art on my walls, which needs to be corrected posthaste.
