- be extremely vague or even better, specifically, about what bullshit went down on facebook or twitter. Or tumblr. Just whatever. Tear them up. Make no excuses for them. Get furious. And leave it out there where you'll know they'll read it :)

- an entire wall full of ephemera: posters, letters, cards, pictures, photos, art, calendar pages, news paper articles, sketches, collages, just everything I can tack or glue or tape on. Be sure it's allowed though. Must start as soon as I move in.
- When starting the ephemera wall take a daily picture in the spot, with the same lens and focus and must take in the entire wall so I can see grow it on a slideshow/ flipbook. Do it right before I sleep. Maybe get a tripod so your hands aren't shaking the camera. Make it grow each day.
- It'd be awesome if you could color code sections and in ROYGBIV format, and put black and white in the center. Just have some sort of flow to it and not too haphazard.

- Read all the books you have from the library before you take out new ones. You can take out one or two if you've been dying to read it or heard great reviews.
- Read them in the order that they are due, the soonest is the firstest.
- ALWAYS be on the look out for used books that you really like or really want to read. Be mindful of the cheapest. Create and make a hard copy list and list the lowest price on amazon or ebay. Keep it with you at all times or at least bring it with you when you go to Ranconteur or to the city.
- When you review books, do it within a WEEK of finishing it. Just to keep it fresh in your head.
- After you read a book/ movie, read material about it. Try to do move beyond a review and do something interesting like videos or extra material or author interviews...
