What do you "assign" to the Shire?

If you chose your careers well - and are lucky enough to succeed - you can continue that in your work! I've bought a host of books with the pretext "this might be useful in my work".

With twenty-three books currently sitting on my bookshelf, ten in the mail, one still in the process of being acquired by the school bookstore (it's out of print and hard to find), and three still to be determined, I'd say it's a record setting semester for book acquisitions.

That is amazing!

I know, I'm shooting myself in the foot, but most modern art past Dada is really, really original (I know, mut point, but original in that it is like a restrictive pattern of ideals and goals, and by literally doing so. Something dada did, etc.). I guess it isn't a good sign coming from someone who spent a year on art history, but it's a truth.

I suggest taking a look at the wonderful work of Mr. Clowes. He's lovely and aesthetic in a kooky way.


I assign all my wonderful aunties at work, who without I'd probably still be a bumbling fool. Mabuhay aunties!
