"Hey, check this out," I said, grinning.

"What?" replied the voice behind me, unamused.

Unphased, I walked down to the living room, smiling the whole way. We came to a stop, in front of it. My grin widened.

"Isn't it great?"

My friend followed my gaze, "what, the bookcase?"

"Yes! Isn't it great? I got it today, brand new mahogany bookcase." I gleamed.

He nodded, a weary look crossing his face as he looked at me. "Uh, huh." he paused. "There is only fourbooks on it?" he continued, looking at the lonely books in the corner.

"Yup," had it for a day and I already have books on it!"

He nodded, silent.

"Oooh! That reminds me, I've already cataloged everything. Can't be too organised now!"

"You cataloged four stories?" He looked at me as if I'd grown an extra nose.

"Yep," I walked over the coffee table in the center of the room and lifted up a large folder and swung it open.
