Yes it's early. But I'm already behind in my reading so I've got to get going. In news related to yesterday's post, the Danish National Museum has picked up on one the prettiest hashish-stalls in Christiania. The government has threatened to close down and remove all stalls in Pusher Street within the next couple of days, so local people rang the museum who agreed to take care of the stall and exhibit it as part of Danish cultural history (from Politiken). Well done, National History Museum!
And, ladies and gentlemen - the Friday Five:
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
- I am very organised. I usually know where all my stuff is. It seems that this is more important to me when I'm busy than when I'm not. Busy mind, tidy surroundings, or something like that. I do find that if I'm organised, I save time, sometimes money, and the benefits generally overshadow the chore of organising. Sometimes organising is not even a chore! (God, I must seem so boring.)
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
- I am the lucky owner of a lovely filofax-type-thing, which I usually don't update. I have a small calendar which I use quite a lot, but mainly during exam-time. My memory is generally good so I don't need to write things down very often.
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
- I don't have a desk! My computer-table is full of sweet-wrappers and cups and papers and post-its, but I share with my man and I blame him. The dining-room table is full of books, but I do have an impending exam - normally it is very tidy. And the books are ordered!
4. Do you alphabetize CD's, books, and DVD's, or does it not matter?
- Our CD's are alphabetised, because we have quite a few and I can't waste time searching for the exact CD I want. (I don't really agree with the system, though, which is by first name, I mean, ideally it should be by last name, yes?) The books and DVD's aren't alphabetised - we don't have enough DVD's to justify that and the books are too scattered everywhere for any kind of system. This may change when I get more (unemployed) time on my hands...Alphabetization is mainly about saving time, isn't it, so, yes, I'm generally in favour.
5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize?
- Myself
Oh, and it has come to my attention that people think that I give Mr s. a hard time. I do! But it's okay! 'Cause he knows that he's the love of my life.
