Kitchen = Stupa

Yesterday got away with me in the end. I scrubbed the rest of the ceiling and the walls in my kitchen, and hung up the Nepalese prayer flags I bought. I did some gardening, planting on the tomatoes and watering my pots. Hung out some washing, and cooked pasta for dinner.

We watched Cloverfield on the big screen TV, and with the surround sound, it made me get into it even more than the first time I watched it. I still think that the characer Hud is a complete wanker, and that the alarms that go off in Beth's building are beyond annoying, but I love how the idea of having one single shot the whole way through really drags you in. I didn't like The Blair Witch Project's way of using that idea, it just felt too cheap and I got sick of seeing really tight close ups of faces. Cloverfield made me feel like I was part of the action.

This morning I am indulging my OCD a little. I hate having paperwork in the house, but I also hate the idea of being left without paperwork that I later need. I finally came up with a solution, and it is going to be a long project, but I will feel better about it. Scanning. I am embarking on a mission to scan all the paperwork I feel the need to keep. Then I can fit it all onto a memory stick and actually put books on my bookshelf instead of paper.
