Rain and bookcases.

After weeks of drought, we've been having lovely thundershowers since last night. Of course, they had to show up late last night, and thus the flashes and booms kept me awake and shivering, plus I had to scramble to unhook the FiOS set-up.

The past few days, I've been trying to bring some order out of the chaos that is my bookcases. My dad had picked up a six-foot bookshelf in someone's trash, so he offered to put it in the study behind the door. So, I've started moving some of the overflow there, including, but not limited to, the two or three manga series that I follow, the Dresden Files books, my graphic novels, and a bunch of DVDs. It looks like a geek bookshelf now.

Library trip and counselling session

At this point, it's a little open-ended as to whether or not I'll still be able to continue seeing the therapist I've been seeing, since they're changing to a new billing system at Catholic Charities and since I only have Medicare for health insurance, I might wind up falling through the cracks. But my therapist is going to try pulling a few strings for me. Keep your fingers crossed for me, folks

Other than that, I had an interesting albeit too short trip to the Chelmsford Library: picked up Mark Danielewski's (sp?) "House of Leaves", which I'm finding completely impossible to put down, despite its at times dizzying typography, but I suppose it's hard *not* to frame such an odd story in an equally odd package.
