pondering spaces

incandescensDid not get as much done today as I planned, but what I did get done was enjoyable.
There's a space in the hall section of my apartment. I could fill it with a cheap tacky bookcase. (It wouldn't be a cheap decent bookcase because I can't find a cheap decent one that fits the height availability; the telephone sits just above where I want to put it, which reduces my options, and while I have considered trying to go for an open-plan bookcase that'd leave the back open so the phone could sit between shelves, I have reluctantly come to the opinion that this is Pushing My Luck.) So. Oh well, can always later replace it with a better bookcase if I find one of the right size. Will meditate on this and decide tomorrow.
1) It's not about the sex, it's about the control/power. Really.
2) Waste not, want not.
3) What you don't tell people, you don't later have to kill them for knowing too much about.

Delayed Action
Korf invents some jokes of a new sort
That only many hours later work.
Everybody listens to them, bored.
Yet, like some still fuse glowing in the dark,
You wake up suddenly that night in bed
Beaming like a baby newly fed.

Oh well. Beats bricks and boards. (/is nostalgic for her early 20's)
