vovatYesterday, I went out to IKEA with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje to get a new bookshelf. I ended up getting a silver Billy shelf, which fit more easily in my car than Beth's Tunhem did. Beth did pretty much all of the assembly, for which I am grateful. I'm basically helpless when it comes to putting things together. My XY chromosomes have betrayed me in this respect (and, come to think of it, in many others as well). I've been putting some of my books on it, and there's plenty of extra room so far, but I can't quite remember how many other books I have left to bring over. I might not end up putting all of them on the shelves. I mean, does anyone think I'll actually need to access my old textbooks on a regular basis? Right now, I have some CD's and DVD's on there as well, but I might eventually have to move them.
Organizing my fiction books is a simple matter, but I'm not sure what to do about the non-fiction ones. Right now they're just thrown on the shelves in any old order (or, to be more accurate, no order at all). I could utilize my training in cataloging to put them in order by the Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress System, but is it really worth it? I'll probably just arrange them roughly by subject (mythology, music, television, reference, etc.). I'm probably putting way too much thought into this matter, aren't I? {g}
Let's see. What else have I been up to? Well, last night, I went out to Red Lobster with Beth and Dorothea. There's a Tuesday shrimp special that Beth and I both got, and for which we were almost overcharged. The waitress claimed she wasn't used to working on Tuesdays, but I had specifically asked about the Tuesday special when ordering, so I'm not sure that's an entirely valid excuse. Still, it worked out all right, so there's no reason to be concerned about it now. It was just lucky that we'd come on a Tuesday, since we didn't know about the special beforehand.
Okay, I'd better post this and take a shower.
