Nifty things

oyceter1. Life has been busy lately (insanely so, sometimes, given the moving and whatnot), but good.
2. Completely randomly, it makes me happy that my name means "joy." ^_^ (I re-realized this today).
3. And look! I have a happy, alive, bouncy Goku icon, courtesy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
rilina!
4. I've started moving things to the condo! Granted, just a little at a time, but enough to assuage the panicky feel of moving and to make me really look forward to it! Large kitchen! Gas range! Enough room so that I can use one room purely for a study (aka BOOKSHELVES OMG YAY)! A large patio with a faucet outside so maybe I can grow tomatoes and herbs! Closet space!
5. Ok, this has to do with the move (I feel like it should be capitalized or something), but it is of enough import that it gets its own number. BOOKSHELVES OMG YAY! I've decided to sell most of mine because they're random and fit the space now, but since I have an entire room, I can get the same bookshelves to maximize wall space! I'm trying to decide if I should buy them or build them, given that all bookshelves I look at are too deep, and it annoys me. I do need some that are deep, esp. for my non-fiction, but I really, really, really want many shelves built specifically for mass markets and manga. I remember seeing schematics for one somewhere, but I lost the link.
6. I saw a rainbow last week! It felt like a minor miracle because it was so perfect, an entire arc, vivid against the gray sky, with a faint inverted rainbow right above itl. I actually saw someone pull over to the side of the road just to take a picture of it. I hate the rain we've been having, but that made it all so worth it.
7. More complaints about the rain, but then... the past few days, when it's been stopping, the clouds retreat just a bit and turn into giant fluffy unreal Platonic clouds. And now that the sun is setting earlier, I tend to go home just as it's setting and lighting everything gold and pink and orange. It looks like Thomas Kinkade, but less sappy ;).
8. I learned a form in wushu yesterday! I guess they're not kata, since wushu is in Chinese (thank god... maybe I'll not completely forget it). But it's all cool and martial art-y! We also learned different stances, including the common horse stance and the monkey stance, which totally amused me and made me giggle on the inside because I'm 12. But! The whole time, I was thinking, looky looky I'm like Goku! /dork
9. Intl. Saiyuki week continues to rock, with people posting wonderful things.
10. I get to play with clay tomorrow! And help paint on Sat (the novelty has not yet worn off), and have lots and lots of seafood that night!

Sat, Mar. 25th, 2006 05:54 am (UTC)I think I'm going to end up bolting mine to the wall. Also, if I ever get rich enough, I'm going to have a room with bookshelves built into the wall! Ahhhhhh..... dreams.

Sat, Mar. 25th, 2006 02:00 pm (UTC)Having snagged those bookcase schematics, I told Chris about them, and maybe we'll make some this summer. And ohhh, bookshelves in the wall is the best idea ever. *_* (Except sometimes I think instead of just a room, it'd be neat to have a winding staircase with shelves set into it. Perfect display. ^^)
