IT”S ALIVE!!1!ONE?!

As I’m sure you all remember, in the last terrifying chapter of this story, I found that the white fluff had spread to another room.

During the Xmas holidays, I visited my mother.  She’s brilliant with all kinds of plants and stuff, so I showed her the pictures of the aloe armageddon.  She said: “Are you sure that’s a fungus?  It might be some kind of insect.”  I said “Sure I’m sure!  Nothing moved!  I didn’t see anything insectey.  Just the fluff!  Mooooomm!!!”

Guess what.

And guess what.

IMG_5062See those little green things?  I think those are some kind of insect.

Are there any apartments for sale nearby that I can move to?  Hm?  Hm?

UNCLEAN!!!

Books

IMG_4742I rather like reading books, but I have this absurd sense of accomplishment whenever I finish something. Anything. “Wow, I managed to finish eating that hamburger! USA! USA!” Finishing something you like doing isn’t really something to brag about, but that’s the way I feel.

So a couple of years ago I started putting books I’ve read recently in a smaller book case where I can stare at them while I’m on the couch, reading other books.  It’s a kind of ludicrous feedback loop.

At the end of the year, I empty the book case and put the books away in less accessible areas, but I thought it’d be fun to measure the books first:

Another year starts

Anyway.  This year I’m going to watch more movies.  I used to be a movie fanatic, but I kinda just stopped.  Inspired by this, I’m going to start a Movie Watching Project later this year.  After I get back from the holidays.  Perhaps…  watch all Criterion Collection movies or something?  Something.
