What's Swedish for sweat?
Sometime ago, my 3 year-old Billy bookcase (from Ikea) collapsed under the weight of my books. So after a year of tripping over them on my bedroom floor, I finally got a new one (from Ikea, again).
Ok, so I'm a sucker for Swedish flat-packed furniture.
But this time, I went for a tall and sturdy Argenum, with four shelves in nice glossy white.
It wasn't cheap (about 3 times the price of a Billy). But it can fit alot more books. And most likely to last longer than 3 years (that's how long my Billy lasted).
D helped me stuff the 6ft-long box (flat-packed my ass), into my car. And gosh, it wasn't easy. We looked like idiots for a good 15 minutes, trying to get it in just to save RM65 on delivery (ok, that didn't come out quite right).
Finally, we got it home and took a couple of hours to assemble it.
My room smells of pine now.
Sweet.

Recently bought Tim Burton's The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories.
Hard cover in black.
Sick stories. Even sicker illustrations. I like.
---------
Been running again on Saturday mornings.
Long runs.
It's alot easier when you're motivated (thanks, Box).
---------
I am so addicted to Sudoku. Aaarrgh.
Gotta stop. Gotta stop.

It's Monday again.
Where did last week go?

Don't like numbers. Don't like Sudoku.
You're wondering where the week went? I'm hoping it'll go by sooner. Argh!
Oh the Argenum is wonderful. I love Ikea but the box NEVER fits in the car and the assembly directions are always just a wee bit off.
I'm looking forward to the Corpse Bride
I need motivation again...send Box my way.
I just got into Sudoku. My friend who got me into it plays for hours at a time.
Woo Hoo...it's Tuesday! (Wednesday by the time YOU read this).
Erin: Take it easy dear girl.
Minty: Yeah! Can't wait!! And I'm wondering why Tim Burton casts Helena Bonham Carter in almost every movie. Are they still married? As for Box, can't speak for him, but I reckon he would want to visit Chicago if he could! Haha!
Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. Monday. Tuesday. Aaarrgh... repeat.
