(no subject)

My living room is less full of junk by a significant margin! :-D

YAY! :-D


I've still got the main floor to tidy, but at least all the junk (minus the "Free Books to Good Home" box) is GONE! :-D


Today: Brining home cardboard boxes + visiting the carleton library (returning Whores and Other Feminists and picking up some Jordan, Lorde, Rich, and Nestle to peruse. Whee! :-D)


Must get ready for work. :-)


- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)

Audre, June, Adrienne & Joan.

Visited CU. Borrowed:

June Jordan: On Call (Political Essays - the one about Walt Whitman's poetry is particularly good, I think) and Some Changes (Poetry)

Audre Lorde: Undersong (Poetry - "On a Night of the Full Moon" is glorious, sensuous and lovely)

Adrienne Rich: Arts of the Possible (Essays and Conversations)

Joan Nestle: A Restricted Country (Essays)


I still have Poetry for the People, though I should return it in the next week or so (I've renewed it a couple of times already).


I think this will be good. :-)

Decorator Pr0n

Via Arndis:

Recycled Glass Tiles (among other things).


Picture this bathroom:

8'x10' + 12' ceilings.

"North Pole" (aquarius) on the floor, and two of the walls, "Blue Jay" (aquarius) on the sink-bearing wall. Aquarius tiles go 2/3 of the way up the walls, with a band of "Obsidian" (river crystals) at the half-way point rather like this, all the way around the room.

Top third of the walls + ceiling are white (cement board + white drywall + white marina paint) Includes deep cupboards over the tub.

Soaker-tub/shower-stall has an colourless, frosted glass door (sliding), but is half perma-glassed in using ribbon format sheet glass (2cm thick).
Tub/stall is done white ceramic tiles (same size as aquarius?) and includes built-in chrome/steel shelves for shampoo, soap, candles etc. Shower head is low-flow and removable. All fixtures are chrome/steel.

Sink = a deep, frosted glass bowl w/ chrome/steel fixtures, set on top of another slab of the ribbon format glass (3cm thick). Storage (both under the sink-counter and over the tub) is done in white marina paint w/ frosted glass doors and chrome/steel hardware.

Lighting = recessed halogens. There are frosted glass votive and tea-light holders on the vanity and on the top of the chrome shelves in the tub/stall.

Floor = white ceramic tiles (1'x1').

Linens are blue and black.
