I got rid of all the boxes. Had to, to make room for the cat hair.

Almost as good as milk crates!

Nuh and uh. Tom Scola is a grown-up person who owns good books and other pleasing possessions, and he has spent the last few years slogging through some unbelievably difficult shit to become better and stronger and happier (or, possibly, to become happier by realizing how good and how strong he already is, whether or not he believes it), and a good kind strong grown-up person like that deserves to come home at night to a place with real, grown-up shelves displaying his books and action figures and Buffista boy tiara and photos and things, not milk crates.

Somebody stop me before I Queer Eye the poor lad.

I did get all crafty about it and bought wood-grain contact paper to cover the boxes.

See that's something that I wouldn't think of. I'd just throw a tablecloth over 'em and be done with it. I'm realllly lazy.

What's a Boy Tiara look like?

to make room for the cat hair.

Cat hair is like sand in a jar of rocks, it always finds a way to fit so you coulda kept the boxes!

(I'm supposed to be doing homework right now. Ssh!)

What's a Boy Tiara look like?

Regrettably, most of the boy tiaras the boy Buffistas got looked kinda like more-elaborate fast food or Christmas cracker crowns. If we do another tiara exchange, we should get all the boys something more like this.

Good point, Dawn, but my way I get to get MORE boxes.

(I'm supposed to be doing homework right now. Ssh!)

Emily's not here, move along

MORE boxes

That's the spirt! I'm headed to Target now...ugh! I'll end up spending way more than I should. Such is the way of Target.

EtA more stuff

In the gothy craft book Paint It Black, the author endorses just that thing. A black tablecloth, yes, or black fabric, but still. It works just fine.
