can't remember if i told you guys this, but the other day i got really excited cos i though somebody in my complex was playing bitches brew - i stuck my head out the window, crained my neck, and despite doing this i still couldn't figure out who way playing it, then i realised it was coming from my headphones which i had left on.

i also got a new bookcase recently, nothing flash, pdf-board, but it was free so i'm not complaining; its pretty much just a stand-in till i can find a nicer one anyway, maureen volunteers in an op-shop so i pretty much get insider info on when something nice comes in before it hits the floor.

most of the furniture in my flat was free (from the side of the road). to list: the lounge suit, the kitchen cupboards, the fridge, a rug, a set of beside tables, the bed frames, and the desks (two). one of the desks (mine) is amazing, solid wood (not sure what kind) and the size of a small dining table. i'm definately getting it polished and varnished when i take it with me.

it started off, just one of us sleeping here (as there was only one bed) with no fridge or furniture. it wasn't hard to collect the rest of it, as there are soo many flats in this area, and the way our local council works, flats get hard rubbish once a month. and i like to think my flat doesn't look like a smakie den.

i'm going for that trendy-decrepid decor look, ala degays, platform five and other such art-fag instituitions.
