25th Anniversary of the Buckyball Day!

Before I begin, I'd like to point out that today is the 25th anniversary of the discovery of the Buckyball. Feel free to show some respect to the best molecule of carbon in the Universe!

I've noticed that my room has fallen into disarray. I can't really help it, since being a packrat and a mild slob is written into my genes. But I'm hoping soon to find some way of organizing my living quarters and all the things I've collected over the years. Perhaps this article could help out.

I have been doing something to organize my room and make it look fascinating. Based on the game "Mirror's Edge", I've devised a room that's color coded. The main components of the room will be white with hard-angle, black lacquer wooden furniture, and each section of the room will contain specific color coding. For example:

• Blue indicates my sleeping space, and accordingly comforts and personal hygiene.
• Green indicates my crafting area and anything that expands my mind, like books.
• Purple indicates entertainment, and in paperwork, travel expenses.
• Orange indicates my workspace, such as my desk, where I do my paperwork.
• Red is the color of anything that requires my immediate attention, such as the colored tin where I place my cell phone and wallet and a red binder where I keep all of my important documents.

Perhaps once I get my room completely finished, I'll include fancier elements, such as color-coordinated accents for the different parts of my room and even mild neon lights that shine from the backs of certain parts of my room. For now, however, I'm content to keep getting furniture and maybe hacking it every once in a while.

At the store where I work, we sell these tin lunchboxes which are now on sale for ninety-nine cents. They're not much to look at right now, but I'm hoping that I can take the four I've snagged and transform them into something Dieselpunk for my niece and nephews.
