Seemed like it’d be a good time to put up another update about this and, I must admit, it holds a fair bit more than I thought it would. Having not found any 48 inch tall books, I decided to put the tall piece on it’s side. Kind of makes sense, doesn’t it?
But, apparently I’m [...]

Not only did I finish this project, but I even planted something. That deserves a short of rum or something. Possibly cookies (which I did bake today — and even managed to bake them, but did have a bit too much raw cookie dough).

There’s been a debate over the years on how much those Saturday morning cartoons affected us as kids. Now, some would claim that all that violence wasn’t good for us, or that Transformers was just design to sell toys. More still would claim that the Smurfs were clearly only one apple tall, not the three [...]
