Land of Nod

I haven't been very good with sharing pictures of my new apartment. Mainly because I haven't really had time to take any pictures, but I was able to get a few in recently.

I'm a little shocked at how plain my bedroom is, especially in contrast to the rest of my apartment. But it is the one place I can decompress completely. I have trouble winding down at night, so I purposely went simple with this room. It's quite relaxing, especially since I have no TV, computer or anything else that is a mind sucker in there. It's the first time I've done this whole "no electronics" rule in my bedroom, but I'm so happy I did.

A collector of collections

After growing quite fed up with not being able to post to blogger for several days, I decided to find a new home for blogging. So here we are, fresh place and fresh start.

For the past year I have been "collecting" doors. I never got around to organizing the images until a few days ago. You can find a small selection of my current collection here. I don't know when I'll get a chance to add the rest, but at least I started getting them up.

What do you collect?
