now hear this


so, once - a long while ago - the baron's good friend jennifer was talking about her decorating aesthetic as compared to that of one of her housemates. the bottom line was that jenn liked things tidy and put-away, while her housemate (the owner of a lot of STUFF) liked things out and not-put-away.

the baron falls into the tidy and put-away camp, but she's starting to realize that the husband might be more of the LET ME SEE ALL MY STUFF persuasion, as evidenced by these cds in the photo above.

now, it's true that the baron does appreciate having those cds out and available - it's easy to pull one out and listen. it's also true that some of these cds belong to the baron - the modern lovers and modest mouse cds are hers, but not much else in the frame is. and, what you are not seeing is the record collection, huge and dusty, that's lined up just below this shelf of cds. and in both cases there's more inventory than shelf space, so the husband has taken to stacking surplus cds and records behind furniture. the baron is, of course, delighted by this.

delighted.
