Lalalalala I have new shelves lalalalalala!

I got a new bookcase for DVDs/CDs, seeing as how the current bookcase for them is too small. I remembered that there was enough room where they were for a taller bookcase! Ha. But it ends up that the boy is moving out, so now the new DVD bookcase is where his stand with all his gaming gear used to be, and the little bookcase that used to hold the DVDs has now been co-opted to act as non-fiction bookcase the second, joy! So now I have all my interesting non-fiction on that bookcase and the how-to type non-fiction on the old bookcase, which has now largely been taken over by general fiction and mystery. And now my YA gets a lovely bookcase of its own, and I even have one empty shelf to stack books I have borrowed from other places, because otherwise I just leave them stacked around the house.

Now I should rearrange my romance bookcase, which is very messy. Lest you think I have too many bookcases, I shall put forth in my defense that most of mine are only short bookcases about the height of my waist. I suspect also that now that the boy's CD rack has been moved, there is room for a really small and narrow bookcase... hrm, must contemplate. Actually, maybe I can move my filing cabinet so it sits next to the DVD bookcase and move my display bookcase over next to the TV and then there'll be room for a full-sisze bookcase! Yay! Maybe fannishly can put hers there. My eventual goal is to line every single spot of blank wall with bookcases. And once Angela gets moved in, we can organize our DVDs (two complete sets of Buffy and Angel, LOL!) and then I can organize my CDs, and everything will be lovely and alphabetized. Full, organized bookcases are just so satisfying.

And now, the order my non-fiction is arranged in, probably of interest only to me. ( Read more... )

The knitting is still progressing. I'm still working on the back of the sweater jacket I'm making, largely because I dropped a stitch and didn't notice. I had to rip out 14 rows. Very irked. And my gauge was on target before, but now it looks off, and I am quite confused. Le sigh. Knitting group next week, and I found a few people interested at work, so we'll knit during lunch once a week! I'm very excited.

The rats are large and squishy and cute and rat-like. There's some sort of rat fair promoting rats as pets in San Mateo in about two weeks, and I said I would volunteer for a few hours at the adoption center. Alas, it is not out of any sort of goodness of my heart. Really, I just want to stand around and play with more rats and scritch them and stuff.
