How Are You Getting Organized This Year?

I spent a few hours today working through my bookshelves. Josh and I are married now so I finally feel fully comfortable combining our movie and book collections. I'm very protective of my belongings. We've been buying each other movies and books as presents and with combined money so it's been getting harder to tell what belongs to who anyway.

We have three bookshelves in our bedroom. One under our TV which is now designated for video game systems. There is the bookshelf next to Josh's desk which mostly holds his books. Then there is the tall bookshelf by the window. It has a lot of my stuff on it. But now holds all of our movies in one place.

And yes there is still a bunch of stuff sitting in a pile in the middle of the floor until I figure out what to do with it. But most of it is probably garbage anyway.

Also Josh does own 8 godzilla figurines.

What is Your Favorite Piece of Art that You Own?

My favorite piece of art is this giant canvas that I painted in a theater class in college. We were learning about painting scenery. We had to get a painting of a landscape and use a grid system to paint it. I used a picture that I had taken of a sunset over the river near my mother's house. I did this painting mostly in about two hours because I missed class and didn't get to work on it then. I should have done the light sky first and let it dry before painting the blue over it. Oh well. You live and you learn. I probably got like a B- on it or something. The more I look at it the more I like it. Since it is made for the stage it is incredibly durable and I plan to keep it for a long, long time.
