But You're So Perfect, You Don't Interest Me At All
Weekend Review:
1) I completely forgot this song existed until yesterday!
Pulp - "Seconds"
Within the lexicon of Pulp b-sides & miscellaneous errata, it's hardly one of their top-notch-ier efforts. Look to "Ansaphone" or "Razzmatazz" for overall better examples of Pulp-ish extras. Yet I nonetheless maintain a special fondness for "Seconds" which exceeds that I hold for either of the other songs. It makes me living-room dance more.
2) The record room is now officially the best room in my apartment. Check it:
It is a happy-making thing. This weekend I put things on walls. I started at 2 a.m. Saturday morning & went straight through until 11 p.m. that evening. Of course, that also included framing some pieces for elsewhere in my apartment. But it was mostly the record room. This is my favorite part of the scheme entire:
I purchased that Unclassics poster years ago, but never got a frame for it. So I am both pleased that it's finally up & a bit tickled that there were not only enough pink-sleeved 45s on hand to accompany it, but I was able to choose the most suitable ones.
Y'know, if this incredibly intense concentration for fleeting all-consuming obsessions could be harnessed & sustained, I would achieve world domination. Or is it world peace? Well, it'd sure be something, is all there is to it.
3) Here's my community garden plot!:
And from the other end:
Oh, it's going to be so much work. I can't wait! Cardoons & romanesco & brussels sprouts & so much more to come!
4) This. May be the most fantastic idea ever. Ganked from AT:LA.
It's perfect for me. The bookshelves, of course. I was beginning to despair of ever finding bookshelves that would fit my loft. Now, I don't have to! Um, as long as the measurements work out okay, what with all that molding downstairs. Love the lighting on those shelves, too. If it's feasible, my only remaining book problem will be those damned oversized ones.

Wow!!! Freakin' Awesome. Oh, in case my lack of air mattresses was keeping you awake at night (haha), we realized they got left at the wedding house...
