Tony Stark and the Adventure that is my Bedroom...
What a day.
Yesterday I got thinking about working on my bedroom. Today, I woke up eager to do it, so before even showering or having breakfast or doing yoga, I was emptying my bedroom closet of everything in there, and I mean everything. I discarded things. I found better places to put other things. And I fit about twenty comic book boxes in there, which gave me room for for things in my bedroom - like the drawers I'd had in the closet. The exciting thing is that the half-size comic book boxes, of what I have about half a dozen, fit so well that when I replace the full-size boxes with half-size boxes, as I intend to do, they'll fit and stack even better than they do now. And my room already seems much less overwhelmed by them.
My IKEA Lack table-top even fits neatly on top of the topless IKEA metal drawers, making a handy extra table, which can be removed instantly for use in the living room. Two storage problems, one happy solution.
And I got it all vacuumed and cleaned up before
fairestcat came over, too. With time for packing boxes in to my locker in the basement, throwing out trash, doing yoga, showering, and even having some brunch - which I was sill eating when
fairestcat arrived at two.
So we watched the first Iron Man movie with great pleasure, and then the second Iron Man movie. Then
random came over as well, because they needed to do laundry and their dryer wasn't working, so I encouraged them to use the laundry facilities at my place rather than the laundromat. Similar price to the laundromat down the street, but much friendlier.
So we went back to the beginning of Iron Man 2 and even though it isn't really
random's kind of movie, he enjoyed it and appreciated it for what it is, I was so happy to see Black Widow in action again. She's my favourite part. Though I do like the interaction between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Brilliant dialogue throughout. Just what a good comic book movie should have: snappy, smart, lively. (The Spider-Man movies need something like that.) Robert Downey Jr. makes Tony Stark so much his own character - not quite the Tony Stark of the comics, but close enough, and so very entertaining.
We ate pizza. And, I confess, cookies. Walkers Toffee & Pecan Biscuits. I'd been intending to make cookies again, and would have, if the bedroom hadn't been such an extensive job it left me with no time.
