*eyes this space by where I sit*
Well. I've got three new, large bookcases in my basement, waiting to be filled and organized. This is a good thing, because it's needed doing for a long time. This will go a long way toward getting the space down there clean enough that it'll be a place where I actually want to spend time, although there's still a bunch of other stuff that needs organizing. Who knew I had that much wall art? I sure didn't. Maybe some of it should go on the actual walls. I mean, we've lived in this house for eight and a half years. I think we're staying.
The next thing I really should tackle is this space beside me. I've got a TV cart with a bookcase on top of it. The TV cart itself is a disorganized horrible mess. The bookcase is overflowing with TV DVD box sets, RDJ movies (16 of those, behold my obsession, I really should actually watch some of them) and my "look how nerdy I am" collection of Iron Man and Serenity STUFF, along with 1/64th scale diecast cars like Pintos and Gremlins. Don't ask. I can't open the bottom drawer of my filing cabinet because of this mound of... books? Mainly books, yeah, stacked in front of it. "Stacked" being a term I'm using very very very loosely.
What I really need, is a taller, deeper bookshelf for the DVDs. That way, the Nerdy Stuff can be put in front of the DVDs rather than taking up a full shelf of its own. Then the small bookshelf that's there can go downstairs and be used to store... more books! Because, trust me, what I have down there might be enough FOR NOW, but it won't be for long at the rate I buy them.
So. What I need to do is some measuring, and some math. And then I need to write the dimensions down in a place where I'll actually have them with me next time I go to Wally World.
Yeah, the "over my head" icon is particularly appropriate, I think. Seriously, this is scary.
