Time to Decorate

I haven't even moved yet, and my mother has already redecorated my new apartment 3 times. I certainly appreciate all the help I can get, especially since the place won't get decorated unless someone does it for me. It's just that I have no interest in being involved in the decorating. She'll ask me, "Do you like this fabric or this one better?" Since I really don't care, but I have to make a choice, I mentally flip a coin, which always lands on the one on the left. So far, it's worked. I'm going to have decorated, color-coordinated rooms without doing any work myself to achieve it. This is a win-win situation.

I'm still debating about a few things for my apartment. I have a nice stereo I got several years ago that I've kept in my room here in Memphis for all of my moves so far. In high school, I used its alarm feature to wake up to the soothing rhythms of The Devil Went Down to Georgia and The South's Gonna Do It Again by Charlie Daniels' Band. At some point, it's going to have to come to live with me again. I don't know if I want that point to be at this apartment or to wait until I'm somewhere more permanent. It's going to be at least another month before I'm home again, so I've got some time to decide.

I don't think I've watched more than 5 minutes of TV all day, and that was walking through the living room downstairs. I had mine on earlier, but that was to play video games. Right now, however, I need to read. My new book comes out Tuesday, I think. Only one place on the internet has more than "September 2007" for the release date. I need to finish what I'm reading now before I get the new one, though. More tomorrow.
