ffffffffffffff (capitalism)
So I've slowed down buying music. This is a good thing, I own about five hundred CDs and fifty odd vinyl records so even though that's only a quarter to a fifth of all the albums I own it's still FUCKING HUGE.
Problem is I've moved onto books. Today I purchased Geoffrey Robertson's Statute of Liberty, Annabel Crabb's Stop at Nothing and Mungo McCallum's Australian Story - all of which were damned cheap (first was $5, others were $15 each) and all of which are about Australian politics, and as such can be justified to myself as being aids to my Political Science studies and possible post-uni political career. But my bookshelf (which is three feet wide, taller than I am and contains nothing but books and magazines) is now completely full, and that's even after taking all the binders I made of Uni printouts and nerd (ie, warhams, D&D etc) books out. And relegating all books I no longer read to a box under the house. Which I just realised also means I have no room left for Don Watson's American Journeys which I've just started reading. Snaps and dang. Next step will be to remove all music magazines, but that will just be a temporary stopgap and I doubt it will last until the end of April. This is also after buying another bookshelf that large for my CDs and records, with my computer games stacked precariously on top next to what should be my liquour cabinet, but is just a bunch of bottles on top of a bookshelf (it's a liquor cabinet in, heh, spirit
). And since I have a pretty small room there's no room to put another bookshelf in. Damn my capitalist ways. Almost certainly going to invest in a Kindle before I travel to avoid taking a gigantic fucking library with me.
ALSO WOOP WOOP :siren: big ol' effortpost coming up either tonight or tomorrow. Read it, every one of you. It is A Complete Fucking Idiot And/Or American's Guide To Australian Political History and a lot of my older posts (and even more of my future posts) will make a lot more sense after it.
