Did a little music survey about a year ago and I thought it would be fun to do it again, now, and compare. iTune did change how they organize things so last year’s results may seem a little odd in comparison. (Yea, there’s an audiobook listed amongst the music, oh well.)

We haven’t even come close to really getting into my little-more-than-minor obsession with music; hopefully, we shall delve into that more later.

Just got back from a wonderfully long weekend (more on that later). I scrapped that other table I was working on. It was getting clunky, ugly and I just couldn’t gather up the motivation to fix how it was leaning oddly to the side. I very happy with this new idea. It’s so easy to put together, it looks pretty cool, and it uses all these empty boxes we’ve have just sitting around.

The W.I.P.s

As mentioned in a previous post, we are decorating our apartment out of cardboard and other found materials.
