I want mice so bad i miss having them!!!
#forgetting the lioden grabby hands emote is not a real emote that i can add to a post#i told myself i have to wait until i get my living room back in order and organize all my rodent supplies#i used my living room as storage for abit since we lost our storage room to a roof leak so i have to get rid of everything#or find a place for it#i need book shelves#and then! mice#almost considering getting a group of girls and a lone male bc i cant decide which to get next#its not much more beyond extra bedding#im spending my money on dumb stuff again i want to put it into something more enjoyable!

it would have been very beautiful. camilla would have had to cook (horrible bone soup)
#HELLO back at it again#tug introduced groundbreaking new findings about soul permeability but my mind bypassed all that in favour of this au#the division of labour is as follows:#dulcie reads the instructions; snacks; and changes the radio station every time she doesn’t like a song#if you complain she will remind you she's literally dying. life is too short and mediocre songs are too long#pal gets stuff from high shelves and battles his constantly fogged up glasses#he tried to help with prep once and promptly got himself banned from using knives for the rest of his life#cam does 98% of the actual cooking#trivia section -#you can tell i am new to this because i arranged them in the wrong speaking order. let’s all practice our right to left reading#cam has a silly novelty apron because a) the idea was unbearably funny to me and b) i need to spread the gospel (aroace cam)#the cookbooks next to dulcie are ‘a few teaspoons of salt’ (by ianthe tridentarius)#and ‘saintly feasts: food for saints and scholars’ which is a real book! though not written by cassiopeia the first#*#dulcie septimus#dulcinea septimus#camilla hect#palamedes sextus#the locked tomb#field sketches#<< i get to have an art tag now!

every time i walk into my local library i make sure to look at the receptionists with big wet eyes before heading to my corner to study bc i really want them to hire me as a part-time aide
#not even bc i need the money like it would just be so good for my mental health#extra cash would be nice but i also just like existing there#i don't need another thing on my plate but this feels like anxiety relief more than anything#esp bc w all my pre-med stuff sometimes i feel guilty for reading recreationally. this would force me to be somewhere i love to be#i WANT to be around books for 6 hours at a time. stacking. shelving. cleaning those precious books#i will burst into tears if they don't let me#i literally know the dewey decimal system by heart i'm perfect for this#p

no book series does a visual aesthetic quite like a series of unfortunate events and miss peregrine's home for peculiar children do
#would it be at all surprising if i said those two book series were some of my first fully-fledged interests?#i need to read mphfpc 5 and 6.. they came out well and truly after i was over my fixation on them#anyways i have both the full series on my shelves and they're such nice books to look at both inside and out#i hate books with meaningless cover art!!#commit to the aesthetic and make interesting looking books#i have the companion book 'tales of the peculiar' and it is just visually spectacular#with the illustrations and everything#mphfpc#asoue#a series of unfortunate events#miss peregrine's home for peculiar children#gothihop speaks

anyway i swept the leaves out of my garage and built a shelf and those two actions were enough to leave me too tired to do anything about the fact that now there are two shelves in my room that only has room for one of them
#ragsycon exclusive#inside you there are two shelves#one was the right depth but was made out of cheap particle board and was literally collapsing under the weight of all my books#the other is an industrial strength workshop shelf but the shelfs themselfs are too deep and now rigatoni's tank is entrenched in shadows#so i have to get a lighting system set up for my boy i guess#but i don't have the beans to go back out to the hardware store so i have to hack something together with what i have in my house#and my display shelf that was on my old shelf is now the top shelf of my new one which is higher than eye level#so i need to figure out some sort of riser system so i can see anything i even put up there#not to mention find a home for my old shelf#all this to say; i'm sitting here typing this instead of doing all that#because i'm tired#but i can't lie down because my bed is covered in half the shit i pulled off my old shelf and haven't put on the new one yet#march of the gladiators dot mp3

This is my most gen z opinion but it takes wayyy too long to read. I have so many books that look interesting but I'd have to set aside 5-8 dedicated hours to read them. And you can't do anything while reading like you can with movies, so those really are dedicated hours. I should be able to absorb the contents in my brain.
#i cant do audiobooks bc i zone out and have a hard time understanding audio anyway#personal#this is why poetry and short stories and essays are nice#but im feeling compelled to read actual books bc of my library job#i need a list of book recommendations for the end of the year#and everything i have read we dont have on our shelves (see: stone butch blues)

I've been hearing for quite some time now that Discworld is a good book series so I picked up one of the books(found on a Booktradingshelf) and that was not lie,it is a good series
Small Gods is really funny and I love the world building
Honestly, should've picked up the book series wayyyy sooner
#I love the booktradingshelf#you go there and either put a book in take one out or do both!#all for free too#I've once found a Manga on it too#those shelves are fucking magical#found soooo many art books and books about architecture on there#as well as classics#and a lot of Twilight for some reason#you can also kind of guess what kind of part of the city it is based on the books in there#my neares one seems to be in a more religious environment based on the fact that a lot of books there are well about religion#that reminds me I need to go there one of these days again#I usually put books in there which are not my absolute favorites but know for a fact that others will enjoy#godoframbles#books#bookshelf#discworld#small gods#terry pratchett

there is truly nothing i hate more on this earth than being asked to provide a cover letter and references
#well okay. interviewing also sucks#i can deal with the cover letters to a degree but references?? fuck directly off. this is what interviewing is for.#if you want to make sure i'm not a freak (however you define that) then just talk to me.#this is not a specialized position where you need to know that i'm like...not a fraud of a marine biologist or something.#please i just want to get out of my current job and shelve some books and help some patrons#not be the director#none of the positions i applied to yesterday played this game. come on#annoying post for ts#personal#edit: fucked up and provided a (distant) family member as a reference 🤡😔

I am not immune to being shilled stupid things
#my physical bookshelf at this point is very tiny after purging and getting an ereader I don't need an ISBN scanner to catalog my 'library'#and also it's probably a horrible idea at this time (2024) in this place (U.S.A) to have a database on what books you own out there#goddamn jack edwards for putting the idea in my head#i think this is fifty percent of the reason I hate being advertised to--bc I'm stupidly susceptible to fall for it all#also I have a Scanmarker USB I've been playing around with that allegedly can read barcodes but that function hasn't worked for me#honestly THAT was a stupid purchase too but I was trying to work on a project for my friend using it but that project has since been aborte#it was a hundred dollars and luckily I got it as a christmas gift last year after I asked for it but honestly it's so not worth it#i feel we got ripped off#but going back to the point of this post my physical books take up all of three shelves I don't need a catalog to keep track of what I have#and yet I want

Casual reminder about the existence of today's bonus WIP poll, since I mucked up and forgot to include my Ko-fi link in the original post at first, lol. If the Ko-fi goal funds by noon EST tomorrow so I can buy these dang bookshelves and get my bedroom floor back, I'll be writing 5k in the poll winner's fic. If it does NOT fund, then I'll just be writing 2k in it (and if it OVERfunds, I'll write a little extra, amount depending on the final percentage! 'cuz ur worth it, friends. ❤❤).
The bonus poll is here, and my Ko-fi is here!
#rintalk#yes I do need shelves this badly lol#this is my life somehow#I ONLY RENT ONE ROOM AND I JUST HAVE SO MANY BOOKS#and sketchbooks#and knick-knacks#but mostly just books lbr
