My Brain Is On Spin Cycle
So lately my fondest dream has been to purchase a pensieve, as my brain is really very full... Sadly, I don't think JK Rowling has created a working prototype yet! So my blog will be my pensieve, and I'll put all of my thoughts on display, you lucky readers you!
- I keep meaning to post about the folk festival, which I will do soon, I swear, because there's a lot of music I want to share with y'all.
- I got approved for my mortgage! EEEEEEEE!!!!
- How will I fit all of my possessions into such a very little space?
- My last day at this evil job is Friday, and in light of this, I have written a poem. Please note the "Oil Company" allusions. But don't analyze, it only took me five minutes to write :P
Ode To Leaving A Deplorable Job
By Me
Be still, oh impatient demons
of blackened wells!
Retreat into your darkest shadows,
Drill further still to the murky depths,
And count thy coins with
Oily fingertips.
For I am no more your driven slave,
And shall not bow
to your rapturous greed and lust again!
Ere long, the dark angels of wealth will flee,
Screaming through the twilight of
Your dying soliloquy.
I shall be far from your den of iniquity,
Practicing my alchemy
Of briny oceans into power and light!
Your spell of burnt and broken earth revealed,
And yee shall be left to your memories
In your eternal darkness.
- So THERE, CNR!!! NYAAAAAH!
- Sometimes boys are dumb... Well, frequently. But that doesn't mean I should be rude to them. So if you're a boy and you're reading this and I've recently been rude to you, I'm sorry... I'll try to control myself in the future.
- Should I get an entertainment centre or should I go with some crazy bookshelf Ikea montage?
- Where should I buy a new bed? (advice would be helpful on this one!)
Alright, that's it for now because my lunch break is over *sigh*
Folk Fest stuff is coming soon, I swear!

Yippee for Gill!!!! Congrats on the mortgage! Isn't it a scary, adult thing to realize that you're going to be more than $100,000 dollars in debt? Love the poem. =D As for the bed, Ikea is good for cheap, but there's also that new HBC Designer Depot. I haven't been in there, but I've heard good things. Also, there's Ashley Furniture, but I'm not sure how pricey they are....
Congrats!!!!!! :D It's all so exciting!
And now for the advice:
Get a good mattress! The mattress we bought when we moved into our house was expensive, but an oh-so-good investment (thank goodness for Leons' payment plan though!). Sears has some decent mattresses too; we almost got a Sears posturepedic. Buying a good mattress was totally worth the money.
As for wall unit vs. entertainment centre... We have an entertainment centre, with 2 freestanding bookshelves on each side. Despite having another bookshelf in the office, and one in the living room, I've run out of room to put my books. Someday my dream is to have an entire wall of built-ins in the rec room, with tons of room for books, DVDs and a bigger TV. Knowing your book collection, my vote would probably be for an IKEA montage, because it gives you more room to expand across the walls and to the ceiling.
Oh, such helpful advice, thank you!
I agree, the Ikea montage is the best plan (and somehow looks better, I think!) I'll have to wait and check out the measurements of my diminutive living room.
Thank you for the bed advice too :) I agree, a good bed is worth it, so I WILL shop around for this :) THANKS LADIES!
