This is still not an informal interests essay, but this of all months is one where I will not pressure myself on anything. Bridgielove paid for my account and instead of writing I've been ambling around the house mussing up the shelves and entering books into 
.
Up to three hundred entries and still working on it. I may finish the downstairs tonight, but the upstairs is a bit of a mess, with a stack of books beside the shelves awaiting the day when we purchase another shelving unit. All the same I think we should root out Bridgie's Treasure Island collection the next time we visit her parents. She has quite a lovely collection of over a dozen copies, some of them valuable older editions. I'm entertaining myself watching the tag cloud shift as I add books. Rey and Bridgie far outstrip me in the number of books they actually own. I mourn the loss of many volumes over the years as I've moved. My restoration projects and a few volumes of Kipling constitute the majority of what I've managed to hang onto over the years. I am all too happy to catalogue everyone's books in the apartment, thus making some small proprietary claim to the whole collection.
I am also considering changing the layout of the journal, or possibly even getting myself a paid account. I need something simple mind you, because I'm not terribly well versed in HTML. I find myself wanting something prettier to look out if I'm going to be writing regularly, which is rather self-indulgent of me since I seem to have very few readers. On the other hand there are few pursuits online that are not self-indulgent, at least in my case.
I seem to have lost whatever train of thought I had, so I'll leave things at that.
