BOM(s)

thats right its BOMs or book of the month time again
Febuary's book of the month is:

Punk House: Interiors In Anarchy




The “punk house” may come in any number of forms. The most common type is often where a large group of like-minded punks cram into a house usually intended to accommodate two or three people, resulting in low rent and, thus, extended hours of leisure for the residents to pursue their true interests.

Punk House features anarchist warehouses, feminist collectives, tree houses, workshops, artists’ studios, self-sufficient farms, hobo squats, community centers, basement bike shops, speakeasies, and all varieties of communal living spaces. In over 300 images of fifty houses in twenty-five cities in the US, photographer Abby Banks finds the already weathered face of a seventeen-year-old runaway; the soft hands of a vinyl junkie (record collector); the mohawked show-goer; the dirty dishes in the sink; silk screened posters on the wall; and many other revealing glimpses of these anarchist interiors.

Its that time of year!




Christmas 2009! and all through my house decorating and baking are filling every surface wall and corner :P   poor poor mouse :D
Ive been busy knitting my aussey roomie her scarf and baking cookies and I haven't even made a snow man yet but that coming soon believe you  me. This year moneys been tight so we've been reusing decorations and making our own cards and keeping presents to $20 per person, which is fine because christmas shouldn't be all about the material it should be about spending time with family and friends and traditions that never fail,I hope to go ice skating, make a fort out of snow watch christmas  specials via youtube and just relax :D
What do you enjoy doing with your family every year around the holidays? Don't be scared to share in the comment box id love to hear form you :)
