hollyking | What to do? (Reply)

Today cheesentoast signed the papers for her own apartment which will be available on Monday. So she'll be moving out next week into her own slice of the "American" dream. On one hand I'm going to miss having her close at hand. On the other our place is cramped with three people so having more breathing room will be nice. It's not like she's flying off to the wilds of southern California or another country... ;)

hollyqueen has decided to keep her desk downstairs which means I'll have the upstairs room mostly to myself. I've been thinking of what to do with the space and here are some of the things under consideration:

Move the games and puzzles under the stairs so they are easily accessible when we are ready to host some friends.
File all the boxes of papers into the filing cabinets.
Move a lot of non-clothing stuff in the bedroom closets into the office closet to give hollyqueen more room.
Setup the old PS2 with the dance pad and the alternate input on my monitor for some DDR goodness.
Dig out some radio gear and setup a small 2-meter station.
Rearrange the books on the shelves to sort the books by category.
Create a small crafting/project space and organize all my projects.

Basically I want to make a space where I can spend some time working on my existing projects and hobbies instead of going out buying new ones. One key thing I want to maintain is the ability for the room to be used for guests. It would be great if people could come for a visit and we didn't have to stick them on the floor in the corner.

I'll need a name for this area. I'm thinking about the cheesentoast Memorial Research Lab. CMRL for short. ;)
