Task list! Feng shui it up!

[sincere]

To Do Today:

     1. Feed the cats.
They need food to survive. Also water.

     2. Apply to jobs.
The ones bookmarked over the weekend, and any new ones that may have popped up on your favorite site while you weren't looking.

     3. Pay bills.
We'd like our new cable/internet provider to not think we can't pay our bills on time.

     4. Feng shui up the kitchen.
My mom has recently gone crazy, and swears up and down that feng shui works, despite telling me things like "If you put a mirror across from your bed, your chi will see its reflection while you're asleep and get scared." So clean up the clutter and put in the mirror to fix your financially disastrous stove location.

     5. Seriously consider going out to buy graph paper.
     5. Graph out the house using libekory's graph paper. Then graph out Merlin's house in Hollow Bastion for Another Side.
Makes it easier to, you know, graph out the house. But it involves riding my bike to Target, probably... Sigh.

     6. Reth Reth Reth.
I'm still in love with my guild name.


To Do Tomorrow, Or Today If You Are Feeling Industrious:

     1. Put up new ad for roommate.
Taha will be staying until July 15th instead of July 1. Ad needs to reflect that.

     2. Fix the tags on your LJ.
They're sort of half-done, you moron.

     3. Clean the horrible clutter from your room in preparation for feng shui'ing.
Yeah. And move that desk downstairs, while you're at it. Desks don't belong in the bedroom, it's terrible feng shui.

     4. Reread all of D. Gray-man.
...what?

Having a desk in the bedroom is bad feng shui? Well. Damn.

The bedroom should only be used for sleeping and sex, according to the feng shui book my mom preached from and then bought me. No work-related material should ever be in this room, "especially computers". Every room I've ever lived in has had terrible feng shui. XD But if you "divide" the room, like if you have a bamboo divider or something, you can "make" an office area, and that's okay.

For good feng shui, your desk should be facing a doorway in a not-bedroom room, so that you never have your back to the door, but it should not be directly in front of the doorway.

Daaamn, my room has terrible feng shui. XD It's a box, though, so there's not a whole lot I can do with it.

Having a desk in your bedroom can be bad psychologically speaking, too-- you should be able to have a space you can mentally designate as work and a space as leisure.

Not everyone requires it, but it can be very helpful. Even splitting them mentally (so you can't see the bed from your desk, for example) is good.

I've been feng-shui-ing up my apartment lately too. Unfortunately there's no place to put the desk and computer besides the bedroom for me, so the solution is to just cover it up when I'm not using it? :D()

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

That's very close to the solution they recommend in the book my mom got me -- putting up a divider so that you can't see the desk from the bed. Covering the desk sounds like a good idea too. :D

What's the book you got by the way?

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

It's called "Feng Shui: Harmony By Design".

[slayerofgod.livejournal.com]

Um...any particular reason why your mom suddenly decided that feng shui was the pinnacle of living? ^^;

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. I can't even tell you when it started. All I know is, I came home for my sister's graduation, and suddenly there were three crystals hanging in every window and my mom was telling me that my job search will improve if I adorn the career bagua of my room with mirrors.

Bedroom to small to have a desk in it. :x

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

Well, that's honestly good. D: I seized the master bedroom and it's too big. When I get the desk out of here it's going to be so empty. I don't know what else I'm allowed to put in here -- this book even says I can't put a bookshelf in here, because I'm not allowed to have books in here, lest they have negative energy (e.g. someone in the book has a troubled relationship, or dies) and affect my chi.
