*surfaces* I keep meaning to make a post...
Not much has been happening, work, work, sleep, work.
I bought myself a new bed frame. Now I need to use a stepladder to sleep (which is quite nice, though).
I also bought new shelves, replacing the standard Wal-Mart pressboard things which, to be fair, lasted the twenty years they've been up. But were saaaaagggging something terrible and not very well-organized, and just generally looked terrible.
Now I have nice metal frame shelves that feel a lot more open? I also moved my dresser, so now I can put clothes away! That's a bit nice.
I also ruthlessly culled books and dvds into storage boxes that are now in the basement. Things I do want to keep, but don't need in my room. This included: the original Farscape sets I have (I bought the series on mega-sale one year, so I had two shelves' worth or barely a hand-sized box. Seriously, why didn't I do that earlier?).
Changing the artwork on my walls: I pulled down most of the posters in their terrible falling-apart poster thingies. Most of them are being pulled out and broken down/folded and stored in a couple of three-ring binders. I've been replacing them with my own artwork, or things I've bought over the years that I never had 'anywhere to put'.
There are still a couple of those to go, but I didn't have the energy when swapping the shelves out to also pull out the ladder and climb it to do so.
I have a plan for my desk! I need to pull it out, strip some of the paint and then cover it with wallpaper sticky pages. It should look odd and far too colorful when done, but I'll be pleased.
I'm also pulling everything off of it and organizing where it goes.
Which also includes all of my painting gear - that's spread too far and wide and everywhere, ugh.
I bought more under the bed boxes with good sliders, so now I have better storage for some things that were just shoved anywhere they could go.
I still need to tackle my closet, though. There's some things in there I wore once, fifteen years ago (related, though: I tossed my Furlough costume, the Klingon detritus I hadn't worn in twenty years, and the Delirium costume I wore once). Plus a lot of things that "I might wear this year!" but I'm wearing jeans at work anyway (fuck their clothing requirements, they can deal with jeans or I'll just stay home).
In other news, I finally finished reading Agatha Christie's The Hollow - John Christow always deserves everything he gets, and I will hear no other reading. Also, Gerda is my fave. And the adaptation they did was superb (speaking of, though, I could watch twenty seasons and a movie of Lucy rambling on and saving people with guns and helping hide murderers and burning tea kettles).
I tried watching the Inspector Morse episode The Dead of Jericho, which has a younger Gemma Jones. Unfortunately, it was so incredibly dull I stopped. Morse seems to be on Youtube, though, for anyone who wants to give a go.
Big Finish's Torchwood monthly series is at an end, with 100 episodes. I took advantage of the last sale they had, and now have all of it. I will miss this series, though there are episodes I will definitely re-listen to.
Big Finish in collaboration with a bunch of others are doing a massive Fugitive Doctor thing with Jo Martin (I want her on my tv, too, but I'll take what I can get!) https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/the-countdown-to-doctor-who-circuit-breaker-starts-now
In RL news, my brother is part of the group leading the charge against the data center where he lives. He's now been quoted in several places. I'm so proud of him (and dad would have been so pleased). That bit where they VOTED OUT the council members who voted for it was brilliant.
