shots of the bedroom

Here are some pictures of my room from July 2017. 

Today, I had the day off. I worked on my sixth and seventh issues of my zine. I need to go copy the third soon. Making a zine has really brightened my spirits. I like my zine. Not sure if the other people who have looked at it do or not, but that's okay. It's not political or an interesting story or anything. It's just visual. Collages, trading cards, found items, bad drawings, 35mm photos, and things. I think the one that I made today is even better than the other ones. 

While working on those, I listened to some old mix tapes I made in 2008-2010. I still like a lot of the songs on the 2008 ones, not all of them, but the 2010 tapes are really great. 

My phone screen broke a couple days ago. Not quite sure how. I'm using the fact that Mike took the car to work as an excuse to not get it fixed today. I guess I should soon. I just don't care that much, to be completely honest. But I suppose I should be able to contact people. I didn't get a new one for a month last time I broke my phone a year ago. 

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and my sweet cat was laying on my feet. That may just be one of my favorite things in life. When Mona curls up at my feet. What a sweet heart. 

I want to go into the living room, but at the same time, that's the last thing I want to do.

Here are a few 35mm cat and dog photos from July 2017. The top two are Krosis, the middle is Ziggy, and the bottom two are Lily.

After my last post, I ended up packing for a while. In fact, I packed until I ran out of boxes and newspaper. Not that I had a lot of either. But it was a step in the right direction. I have a lot of my shelf cleaned off. I think I shall start with the living room. I already feel that I am enough of a pain in the ass to my roommates with all the dumb things I put in there. Mike and I cleaned the living room this morning. It looks very nice. We forgot to get more boxes from work today. 

I've been really into browsing old Geocities pages again. Oh, how charming they were. They don't make them like that anymore.

I'm not sure what Ziggy is looking at right now, but he looks so damn cute.

Cacti

I feel like I'm really going nuts lately. 

Even though I did some crazy shit, I feel like I was generally much better at the whole being an adult thing when I first moved out at age 20 than I am now. 

Maybe I was just excited to be in a new environment. I've stayed at this apartment for two years, which is longer than I've been at one place in my adult life so far. I don't know if that's what's driving me nuts or what. We are hopefully moving out in a few months. I haven't even put fourth any effort into it though. I don't put fourth effort into anything anymore. I am very well aware that it's my fault and that bitching doesn't help anything. You know how it is. 

The idea of packing is making me anxious. I usually do it at the last second, but I feel like I've collected more shit over the past couple years than the previous times I've packed. Maybe not. I know it will be okay. It always sucks but is never that big of a deal. I have exactly four boxes packed. Three filled with VHS tapes (not even close to my whole collection) and one filled with some paintings I've made over the past couple months. Maybe if I find a box lying around today, I'll pack something else.  I have some shit for the thrift store. I'm going to have even more when I go through all my stuff. My closet is stressing me out. I have all sorts of boxes at the top of my closet and have no idea what's in them. Shit that I didn't have a use for but didn't want to get rid of I guess. Let's see if I still feel that way now, once I go through them. It's been two years and I have no idea. 

When we move out, we plan on building a new cat tower, which should be a fun project. I am also excited to buy a new couch. Not a new new couch but a new to me couch. Something real wild from the thrift store. I'm hoping for a floral print that people would now consider "ugly" or just something really bright with wacky shapes all over it. We saw the cutest little couch at the thrift store a few months ago, it had little zebras and giraffes and what not all over it. Just bad timing. 

Anyways, here are some pictures I took at the airport on July 9, 2017 of some lovely cacti.
