Work, and Shelves
Ordering books and odd hobbies.

After a really long day, I’m still putting off some Calc homework to try and get in another post here at Dignews. Today was rather uneventful, I spend a lot of time writing as of late, a lot of it surprisingly for my day job. Its actually really fulfilling getting to use what I think is one of my best skills in a job that usually doesn’t even bother challenging me. I enjoy language, and I enjoy crafting any sort of prose. I like poetry, and I used to enjoy writing it, but I realized that no one is good at poetry. I kid, I kid.
I am looking forward to my Birthday on Friday, mostly because its an excuse to go see Inglorious Basterds. I ordered myself a present in the form of two Neil Gaiman first edition hardcovers. Unfortunately one of them was canceled today, which makes me a bit upset, and the only other one I could find is way more than I want to spend. Gaiman has long been one of my favorite writers, and I have been working to collect all of his books in hardcover.
Collecting seems like an even weirder hobby now than it was in the past. Hoarding digital media seems to be much easier on the apartment but less tactile. I have Vinyl and CD’s, Books, Comics, and other weird stuff that get stashed around. I do collect a fair amount of digital media, but I maybe a dying breed. Although the retro sheik has caused people to snatch up some of this detritus, it’s still as disposable as last season’s plastic crap from Target. Well I keep an eye on Craiglist when it does go out hoping to catch some cool stuff.
