From success to significance

Untimely ripped

St. Michael's Church, Aberystwyth, has the current slogan 'from success to significance', to focus its efforts on being more than simply a popular, slick, well running operation. The same words can convey a rather different thing though. My bookcase.

At around 8:10am I was lying in bed, contemplating the day. What may happen in this next period of daylight and night-time, I wondered. Didn't need to wonder for long.

!!Chhhhhrunchkk!

Hmmm. I wondered how long that might take. Going from successfully mounted to significantly unmounted. It looked a little dodgy when I moved in here, in September. The screws were slightly out of the wall when I loaded it up with some satisfyingly heavy books and various sundries. But then, it's been here for years, it's meant for putting heavy things on. It'll be ok.

The design of Delirious?'s CD case being a metal box now doesn't seem so superficial, being as it's one of the few ones that didn't suffer shattering consequences on becoming forcibly acquainted with the floor, shortly followed by the weight of a remarkably solid piece of wooden construction.

Thank God that I was still in bed though, or 3kg of sharp-cornered, hard-backed Systematic Theology may likely have sent me straight into the realms of glory.
