This painting is almost five feet (1.5 meters) long and three feet tall, and it hangs on the wall above my dining table. It was in my great-grandmother's house for about fifty years--my great-grandfather purchased it somewhere sometime (I wish I knew the whole story, but I don't). Last year, my great-grandmother fell down some stairs in her San Francisco house and everyone realized that her Alzheimer's was too bad for her to continue living there, so she was moved to a facility and the house was cleaned up and rented out. My mom called me and asked if I wanted anything from the house, and I said, "Y'know that painting, the one of Venice that lights up..."
'Cause what's really cool about it is that all of those little shiny glassy bits have lights behind them and you can turn them on...
...and it's pretty magical.
I want to see your workplaces, guys. Bonus points for surreptitious shots of coworkers.
David_Dovey:
Elizzybeth that is almost as cool as a velvet Elvis painting.
I am at work right now but I do not have a camera/a way to upload pics from my phone :(

SHUT UP, IT'S CHEAP
I'm poor. I could be drinking Extra Dry. Is that what you want? I do know how to drink good beer. I love good beer. If you can find me some good beer that is cheaper and more abundant in dodgy Sydney pub bottleshops, I will buy it and drink it with relish yessirs.
Tom:
Everything in Sydney is more expensive than it should be.
ViolentDove:
Tell me about it!
I just got back from my "local". They fucking charged me $6.70 for a schooner of Coopers. Bloody highway robbery.
Makes me glad I've started brewing my own beer.
Also, here are my bookshelves...
My own personal shelves:
And where the rest of my books live, along with my housemates' books:
The non-fiction has been dewey decimal-ised, and the fiction is alphabetised. You know, just in case anyone was worried. Funnily enough I live with a librarian, but she wasn't the one who organised them.
