How do I install a curtain rod that will hide a floor to ceiling bookcase?

I’m moving into a smaller apartment and I’m trying to be creative about storage space.My solution is to use a cheap bookcase from my parent’s garage and cover it with a curtain. I figure that I can hang the curtain rod from the 8" ceiling but my challenge is how to cover the 24" sides. I basically need a rod that is shaped like |_________|. Do they make that?

Need tips for painting a bookcase?

We bought an unfinished alder bookcase and are painting it white. We are using latex paint.

We used a latex primer to start with and now we’re putting on the paint. We’ve been using a roller for larger areas and a 2" angle brush to get into small areas and crevices.

It’s mostly working but we’re getting some brush marks and some gloppiness and some areas feel very rough.

Maybe sanding and doing another coat will help?

Also, I saw Osh selling foam brushes 2 for a dollar. Are foam brushes a good choice or should we stick with our synthetic brushes and roller?
We’re using an Easy Living semi-gloss latex paint, which was recommended to us at Osh. Hmmm. Would an oil-based paint be a lot better? Can we do another coat of oil-based paint right on top of the latex or do we need to strip this baby down?

What is a good chair for a computer desk in a small area?

I have a desk in my room that I use my laptop at sometimes. I have it hooked up to a 22" LCD that is on a swing mount, so I am not always at the desk, sometimes I just use my laptop elsewhere. I am looking for a decent small chair that I can completley slide under the desk, as my TV is directly behind the desk, and there is about 3 feet at most between the two. Just soemthing small, doesn’t need to be incredibly comfortable, as it would likely only be for small periods of time. I was thinking along the lines of a tri-pod chair for camping, but obviously not something that lame. I cannot seem to come up with any nice ideas. The room is in a technology-driven atmosphere (5.1 speakers, 37"LCD, 2 22"monitors, PS3, stero, etc), so it needs to have a decent look to it as well that fits the style. Most everything is black.
