May. 14th, 2008 02:30 pmSo, the 6 boxes that went home with me have become 3 empty boxes and three boxes--one of CDs, which will go right to the basement, I suspect, one of books to be read, and one (partially) of cookbooks. Today, I think, there will be rearranging of the books to be read box, making space for more, and then another box will be started. (I'm totally hoping I can keep it to just two boxes. PLEASE. But I still have the bed-side books to pack, as well as a couple of handsfull of books elsewhere in the room that I haven't found yet. Also: Thus far, no giant bug.
After this, I think I've remembered another box or so of books that is currently in a bag I don't like, so they'll have to get transfered over, and the bag tossed. (these are mostly expendable books, which may just get ditched at the library, or similar, but for now, they're getting organized uniformly at least, and listed on bookmooch or paperbackswap.) And that should take most of my mess down to reasonable levels (seriously, there's like no floor space in the room, so the fact that there was about 25 books to be read on the floor made it an appalling mess, but once they were up, it's like 900% better.)
Also, walking home with 6 boxes: evil. Though lots of people did ask if I needed help, I didn't really think they meant it. It's still nice that they were polite.
Also, also, the new Old 97's (Blame it on Gravity) is FABULOUS. It's like, I think it may even be better than Fight Songs and To Far to Care. This review seems to be right thus far, given that a) I don't own "Hitchhike to Rhome" and b) I've only had the CD for less than 24 hours so there's a limit to how much I've listened to it. That said, I ADORE it, and it makes up for Rhett's last single album, which is itself only forgivable for about three good songs, namely Meteor Shower, Fireflies, and Singular Girl. (of course, he's also forgiven because "Our Love" is the finest song EVER.) Anyways, I haven't heard a song I didn't like at first listen, thus far, though it still remains for the favorites to sort themselves out.
And for those of you who missed it, the Nada Surf album Lucky is GOLD and you all should also own it. Trust me on this. You know I'm good for it.
Incidentally, I've decided that the worst thought ever for a fairy tale remake/mashup is "The Frog Prince and Metamorphosis." I think I'm going to need someone else to prove this through writing it. I'm looking at you, mr "5 hours of doing nothing at work gives me plenty of time to read Jules Verne".
