Shiny as a tattoo, but permanent as party balloons

Obviously, I will not be at Readercon.

On the other hand, the majority of my DVDs are now unpacked into and onto the same quartet of milk crates, which is much more fun than boxes. (Excavations are still ongoing.)

Those are milk crates?! Nice!

They are vintage milk crates! My mother sidewalk-looted them in New York in the 1960's. There used to be a dozen, but the collection was whittled down over the years. My father repainted them recently.

All the kids at my college had milk crates for bookcases/storage but they were plastic and metal and heavy and ugly! Those look so nice.

I thought the same thing! They look fantastic.

They are wooden and oil-painted. I had them in my apartment in New Haven, where they looked more battered.

That looks great!

I wish it were possible for you to be at Readercon. (I've had to miss it a couple of times for health reasons, which is never fun.)

That looks great!

Thank you! We need more milk crates. (I do not believe there are more milk crates.)

I wish so, too. It feels very strange not to have my July revolving around it.

World's prettiest milk crates! And a fabulous collection of DVDs. Cherce.

It won't be a perfect Readercon without you. You light up a panel like no one else.

*hugs*

I will miss it. It just isn't possible.

I know. It makes me want to kick things.

That's a great DVD collection!

That's a great DVD collection!

Thank you!

Sorry to miss you at Readercon!

Was also thinking of you with the opening of Oppenheimer this weekend. At least one can catch a film in the comfort of one's home later.

Hope unpacking the DVDs brought reminded you of some neat things to rewatch!

I am sorry to be missed! Honored to be thought of in connection with Oppenheimer, person or film. I still can't understand why it isn't opening for the anniversary of the Trinity test.

It did, actually! Some of spatch's DVDs on the bottom shelf of milk crates, out of shot, are also appealing.
