I go through these obsession phases. Seriously. It's chronic...kind of like a tweeker with their drugs. My latest obsession has been with reading. I think I've been reading a book a day for the past 2-3 weeks. I think my sister is keeping track...and yes, she did call me chronic.
Since I've been obsessed with reading lately and have had to keep my stock pile of books fresh, I've been to Booksellers at Shirokiya twice this week and Rainbow Book Store once. Not to mention in the past two weeks I've made 2 multiple book purchases on Half.com and joined a website called Paperbackswap.com. It's a website where you can basically post all your books and if someone wants one of your books, they'll send you a request and you send them the book for free. You would receive a credit for sending them a book and you can request books from other members and they will send it to you free of charge. Yes, I said free. So far, I've requested 11 books from the website and have received 2 but I've also mailed out about 20 books to date. Then I sold 16 books to Powell's Book Store (they will give you an online quote and pay for the shipping).
See, I told you...chronic. All I want to do at the end of the day is crawl into bed with my book and hopefully fall asleep. But what has been happening is I've been crawling into bed with my book and then staying up till the wee hours trying to finish it so I can know what's going to happen in the end.
I just got out of a photoshop obsession phase...well, I'm still kind of in that phase but since the book obsession kind of took over my life, I've let the photoshop obsession fade. I think my creative juices need a little recharge and then I'll be back photoshopping till my hand cramps up.
Oooh...I can only pray that I'll be in a diet and exercise obsessed phase next, then maybe my thighs will stop rubbing together when I walk. :P
