A few random notes:
- I am beginning to seriously consider begging all my friends/family to get me gift certificates to IKEA for Christmas so that I can get enough Billy bookshelves to store my books and CDs. I have a shelf for DVDs, but only an awkward CD tower (which doesn’t fit nicely ANYWHERE IN MY ROOM) for my CDs. The Billy like (of which I have two bookshelves already) is simple, functional, and holds up well. The problem is that I have my eyes on something like $200 worth of furniture and am having trouble justifying spending that much when I can fit all my books on my current shelving… double-stacked.
- The internet is definitely a distraction from getting things accomplished. It is way too interesting compared with the things I should actually be doing. I am winning the war, but only just (and only by giving myself the occasional break to give in to temptation).
- “Domino” is a totally insane movie. Seriously. I really enjoyed it, but I suspect that indicates something terrible about me. In my defense, Roger Ebert liked it too. Don’t worry, my review will be up later so you can read it.
- 43Folders.com is an interesting site I found through this NYTimes article on Life Hacks. I find the idea of life hacking to be utterly fascinating, especially as I am terribly prone to suffering not only from interruptions and trouble re-focusing but from interrupting myself all the time (usually to do stupid things like answer an email message that can wait or find that webpage I meant to visit).
