i spent 12 hours today seperating all my books into categories, alphabatizing them, and putting them on the bookcases that i moved into my bedroom. at one point jolie called me and i had to admit what i was doing. there was a shocked pause and then laughter. which preceded my own shocked pause and then squeals of delight when she revealed to me that her dad just hung out with flava flav for a week on a cruise in mexico. they bonded over “the man” keeping them down at the craps table. flava flav and jolie’s dad, brilliant.
i am now, justifiably, proud of my organized library. or at least, mostly organized library. there’s still half a bookcase of books i haven’t read in the tv room on a 4th big bookcase. but fuck them. they deserve to be ostrasized. plus i ran out of room 3 shelves ago. i took more pictures of my developing bedroom and put them in the photo album of the painting pictures.
BD and I are going through the same book-sorting hell right now. Or rather, he builds the shelves. I sort.
