Quick post before dashing off to bed.

Basically, work tomorrow. Today was spent playing cards with Mom and family, coming back, hanging a few things (although I need to figure out some other things to get all the rest of my posters up, my wall scrolls are hung, and that's a help.) and generally getting resettled again, after moving. Suzaku and Seriyuu are back on the walls. Now, just for the rest of the things. If I can get them up on the walls, preferably with something that won't damage them or the walls, that would be best. Any ideas from the crowd out here? (I've heard of the wall-sticky stuff. but I don't know how/whether that will work on the poster backs, too, and whether it will come off both surfaces equally cleanly.)

A little short on the links tonight. Mostly because, while there's lots of stuff going on , I didn't see it in the places I perused. Perhaps in some other place.

torakiyoshi points out an article to me that states the reaction to the revelation of the NSA's spying program is a bit overblown. The problem now is that regardless of what I do, data is collected on me - at some point, someone can gather enough to do evil things to me, be they evil governments, malicious individuals, or corporate hellions. It's just a matter of whether they do or they don't. Still hoping that decency wins out and "don't" is more likely than does.

Meditation may make your brain better. Doing things could increase your grey matter significantly. In the areas that may be affected, I could probably use a little more thickness, so this is a good sign.

Television sniping, thanks to optics! A remote, a focusing lens, and a little practice, and you, too, can zap the TV off from across the room... or across the street. Perfect for those occasions where distractions need to be defeated.

That's all for me tonight. I need to get into the habit of going to bed at good times, so that when my other internship kicks in, I won't have to kick myself out of bed. G'night.

3M command adhesive, it is designed so you can pull it, stretching the sticky part enough to disengage. I've been using it for 4 years in dorms. You can get various sizes. They also make it with various kinds of hooks and such. I've gotten them at walmart and home depot.

I'd be careful of any strong adhesive, like the 3M command stuff. It comes off the wall really easily, but because the paper is not as firm as the wall, it can tear your posters. Plus, these adhesives are very sensitive things and while technically removeable, aren't if exposed to too much sun/cold/heat/humidity over time.

If you really want to preserve your posters, they sell poster hangers (or whatever they're called) which are like a long, tight, plastic clips that you slide over the top and bottom of your poster. Then you just have to attach the plastic to the wall (best way, I've found is with small push-pins/thumbtacks, spackle the holes when you move) and your posters are perfectly untouched but never fall. (A quick search leads also to the metal ones, which also stretch your poster nicely but cost a heck of a lot more.)

I'd love to use pushpins, and I would normally, but they don't go easily into the wall. This is why I'm looking for some sort of alternative. Something that will adhere to the wall and the paper, and will come off the wall and the paper easily. Might be asking too much for that, anyway.

Ah. Poster hangers work well, also, with the 3M command hooks which come off very nicely.
