Exploration Time

Well, last night my roommates and I decided to go exploring through our house that we moved into this year. Our house is much bigger than our old place, and there is a lot of unused space. To give an example of the size, we have two living rooms, and seven couches between the two. There is also room for a dining room table in one living room. Anyway, even more exciting is the basement. It is like a maze down there. The first day we moved into our place, the fuse for the lights in the basement blew, and we haven’t been down there since. That was, until yesterday. We went down to check out this large maze, and stumbled across these large book shelves against a wall. My roommate and I moved the book shelves aside, and found a secret room. Pretty sweet, eh? Well, it gets better. We opened up the door, and it was loaded with old stuff. The sweetest part was all the old books. Boxes upon boxes of old books, which is pretty sweet because we’re making a library in one of the living rooms because there are some built in book shelves. When I was going through the books I came across some books that are relevant to this course. One book was a 1964 copy of Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media, which contains the two articles we read in class, and the other book is a 1966 copy of Marshall McLuhan’s The Medium is the Message. I thought that was pretty cool because whoever lived in our house during the 60’s had some reason to read those books. I am guessing whoever it was, was probably a really big nerd though. I’m going to end on that note. Later dudes!!!
