Katie was on a course in South River today, so I was home alone.
Me.
Alone.
All day.
Messy, messy shelf. Books are piled everywhere, sometimes two deep, I think there's a feral moongoose in the back there somewhere... It's book-related anarchy up in here!
And these are all the books that for one reason or another are not currently associated with the madness on the shelf (probably because I was recently reading them).
This is the after shot of the shelf. I do not think I could slip a hair between any two of the books on the shelf right now, but...
None of these books fit. Most of them are oversized and that's why, but I think it's also a little bit because the universe hates me.
So I improvised! Yes, it's tacky, no, it's not a permanent solution, yes, the dates on these photos are way off, yes, I typed 'moongoose' up there and enjoyed it so much I didn't change it. I'm only human, and by this point it was getting way too hot on the landing, so this is how I finished it.
And that's what I did today. This is only about 2/3 of my collection; the rest still live at my mother's house. Along with my two tallllllllllll Billy-style Ikea book cases which I frickin absolutely wish I had here, but would have no place to put them. But in the time between right now and when I one day live in a place big enough to have a room specifically for my books, I have milk crates, right? I've also appropriated a shoe box (which I will now decorate and show pictures to you later!) to house my zine library. It will sit precariously atop my flash milk crate shelves. There's a possibility it will have a dinosaur on it.
Right this second, I am eating a salad. Life is good.
Me.
Alone.
