Oh, The Websites You'll Scratch & Sniff!
(disclaimer: title has nothing to do with this blog)
We've been cleaning out the guest room/study/wall-explosion-o'-pencilboards recently, and it has given me reason to pause and marvel at just how many books Mel & I have between us. There were 2 boxes located under the worktable that were both overflowing with paperbacks and a few hardcovers. One cleaning blitz and a lot of creative rearranging later, and those books are now back on display.
(Temporary display, mind you. We are hoping to nab some of the large Billy bookshelves from IKEA, but that always is something ends up on the backburner. Meh.)
Mind you, some curious anecdotes have arisen from the new layouts. For starters, while it is the guest room, it is also covered in eye candy undeniably mine: the pencilboards, the wall scrolls, the
Smile Time puppet Angel from Kevin & Donna, plus a legion of viral plushies. And yet, somehow, an enormous pile of Mel's Nora Roberts books have ended up on a prolific top shelf right next to my desk.
So now it looks like I'm really into romance novels. Lots of 'em. And to further add to the oddity of it, this entire cache of Nora Roberts books have created a makeshift throne for my Cthulhu plushie. Apparently, Cthulhu lords over R'yleh, and also romance novels in the off-season.
(My trio of Lovecraft anthologies, however, are being carefully guarded by Mokona. I don't know whether this is disturbingly appropriate or downright ironic.)
In other news, I adore the high school noir movie
Brick, and thanks to my sister, Mel has become horribly addicted to the new
Battlestar Galactica series.
Now I must go. There is tea to be had, Projects to continue work on, and inevitably sleep to be...er, slept on...with...in?
Today's Lesson: the Sniffernet will never catch on. Alas.
