La La La

Today is moving day. Fun. We went over to a relative's house yesterday to pick up a bed for my room. It's one of those bunk beds where the bottom section is a pull-out sofa bed. It's also got a desk and drawers built into one side of it. Unfortunately, because of the layout of my room, it means that I don't get to use the drawers as they're next to the wall. That's only a slight inconvenience though, compared to the space I've saved. Now I can comfortably fit in a proper desk and a wardrobe. I'm not sure if my bookcase will go in though, I may have to leave that in the living room instead and get a smaller one. For now, my main concern is getting all my belongings out of storage. Thank God it's not too hot today, there's a lot of heavy lifting to come. I'll take some photos of the room when it's all done and I've unpacked everything.

I've just finished reading 'Reaper Man' from the Death trilogy by Terry Pratchett. It's become my favourite book out of all the ones I've read so far. The character of Death is so well constructed. He should be a terrifying image (which he can be from time to time) but you can't help becoming a fan. His apparent lack of emotions creates some interesting exchanges between the people that he meets. In a funny way, despite his infinite knowledge of the universe, he can be rather naive about things. This is what draws you to him. He has no concept of humour yet he constantly makes you laugh with his remarks. Truly a brilliant character.

hmmm that movie reminds me of Mr. Black. I liked that movie "Death falls in love" :)

Post pics of your new room! I'd like to see it! Glad you are now moved into your new house! Must feel nice to have your own room.

Will do, just need to tidy it up a bit first, then my masterpiece of interior design will amaze and astound you! I'll need to get a new chest of drawers too. There's nowhere to put my clothes at the moment and they're all in bags, which is a tad annoying.

yes, that would be annoying, however, Michael and I tend to leave our clothes in the basket after the wash no matter how annoying it gets we just can't seem to get in the habit of putting them away. We finally got them all put away yesterday. Wee!

BTW, I meant the movie "Meet Joe Black" lol.
