Two Saturdays, I finally tackled the long overdue task reorganizing my bookcase. While I was at it, I decided to move things around my living room. I ended up making my living room look too sparsely furnished. I don't have a lot of furniture, see. But it's ok. I find that after I moved things around, I spend more time downstairs. I even turn on the TV, wow.


The reason why the sofa isn't facing the tv is because I don't really watch tv. Most of my tv watching is done during meals. So the tv is facing the dining table. It's still possible to hang out on the couch and watch tv. When I get a longer and better extension cord, I'll be able to angle the tv rack better.

Those books on the stairs, I moved them to a different spot today. The top edge of the books gathered a lot of dust after keeping them there a long time (and not dusting them enough. Fine, at all.)

Now they're stacked beside the coffee table. That table has storage space too, but it's already filled with stuff, mostly books.



The picture reveals the sofa's injury. See it leaning over to the left? One of the legs broke off. Next project is to have the sofa fixed (its leg, and perhaps the upholstery). And while the sofa's out getting a facelift, I might have the walls painted. Then maybe I can have some of my posters (see them rolled up under the coffeetable) framed, and hung on the walls. Choosing between my gigantic map of Mordor (a pasalubong from my friend Oneal) or my lomo posters. We'll see. I'm sure it will take a few months before I get any more of my plans done.

So, yeah. So far, it's good. I now spend time here, usually to read. The sofa faces the bookshelf, where the books are now nice, neat and (relatively) dustless.
