The Epic Study Spring-Cleaning Ordeal of 2011: Not All Is Hyperbole
Posted 31 August 2011 in Life, the Universe, and Everything by Catriona
While documenting the epic study spring-cleaning ordeal of 2011, I’ve made mention, on occasion, of my spare room now looking as though a disreputable secondhand bookstore had exploded in it.
And I thought to myself, “Hmm. What if people think I’m being hyperbolic? If only there were some way to demonstrate that such a description is not merely hyperbole!”
It’s not hyperbole.
I cannot wait until this marking is finished and I have time to start moving these books back into their rightful home.

It’s not hyperbolic so much as inaccurate, in that the appearance is less of a disreputable bookstore exploding and more of a quite possibly reputable one tidily arranging itself in a corner. :)

Well, someone just volunteered to come and re-shelve all the books.

I kid. You’ve probably got a system or something terrible like that.

Ha! I could sort them numerically by ISBN if you like.

I was going to say, “But then I’ll never be able to find anything!” Then I remembered that I can’t actually ever find anything now.
