move is complete, sort of

Now I just have to rearrange my stuff [initially wrote just now, involuntarily, "rearrange myself"], buy lamps / lighting fixtures, remove stick-on crap from walls, buy rugs, paint, make five wooden shelves for the cabinets, get a filing cabinet, and buy/make curtains. Very lovely to know that I have this room all to myself. I've been in a walk-through room for the past two years. Paid my dues. The trees in front of my windows are rustling in the wind. The person who painted this room a long time ago thought that the green paint, along with the brown cabinets, would create a forest ambience. It sounds really nice in theory (associations with transcendentalism, black metal, fairy tales, the Sierras, etc), but a) that spatial metaphor is way too overdetermined, and b) the green is not even a forest green, just an ugly green. It is also a dark green, and among the rooms in the upper floors of the house, this room probably gets the least sunlight. Hence lamps and painting it a brighter color. One of the undergrad dorms, painted orange and resembling a prison, is across the street.

Listened to Hyphy and Wolves in the Throne Room again, on my cell phone, which I can finally upload music to again (problems with the driver). Music for room-moving. Also a new Wire Tapper came in with the new issue; favorite cuts so far are the fun years, Damon & Naomi, and Tarentel. D & N opened for Boris on Sunday night at the Empty Bottle. Despite the little paper signs at the bar asking people to stop talking and listen to the music, the band could barely be heard above the din. I think most people, myself included, really just went to hear Boris. The two bands are touring together under the moniker The Roaring Silence Revue, featuring a sweet sweet poster. I don't see Boris's name on the poster, though.
