More Work in the Library

So our four bookshelves weren't cutting it. We had to buy three more.



And we bought a CD case that was a real bugaboo to assemble.



The trick was to move the CDs from the top of the kitchen counter into the CD case alphabetically.



It is working out. I moved all of my comics to the three new bookshelves, freeing up the old bookshelves for the opera scores and other books that are still in boxes.

Comic book shelves (complete with the ghost of a fan in the window - our house is haunted by a cool, cool breeze).



Shelves for opera scores, sheet music, and other assorted literature (in progress).



Current CD shelf.



It still looks like an absolute mess, but the house is coming together. Slowly but surely, our crap is getting in order.

Work in Progress

So the house has been taking up a lot of time, unpacking and getting things comfortable. There is enough improvement for a few pictures.

The library now has books on the shelves. Only about half of them are organized, though.


The kitchen still needs some work. I have cooked a few meals on the stove top. Right now, there is shelf paper everywhere from where we were papering the shelves.


The dining room now has a place where you can sit down.


Same goes for the living room. Both are still in progress, but look much better than they did a week ago.

Here is my office. Yes, it is typical for me to have dual monitors and a laptop going all at once.


And the other half of my office which contains a futon, a lamp, and more shelves.

After the Move... Before the Cleanup

We're in the new house and have sort of unpacked.

Now all we need to do is start cleaning up the mess.

What can I say? I like books.

A good friend invited my wife and me to Shelfari, a website where you can catalog all of your books, share them with your friends, and review them. It is like a strange mashup between Amazon and Facebook.

Anyway, here is my profile. Most of my books are in storage right now, so this is maybe about 1/10 of my collection. And, yes, I do own that many comics.
