5. One (1) set of keys, including car, apartment, and student ID for riding the bus.

Not that I have any objection to large posts (duh) but shouldn't there be something in there to interest another living soul? I mean doesn't this thread approach some sort of singularity where posts consist nothing more than narrating every moment of your day: "I brushed my teeth. Left right left right left right on the front two. I farted. It was a dry one not a wet one, I noted with relief. Back to the brushing of the teeth, the left upper most incisor now....."
-
Reacting to that and as a joke I was about to start a "post what you are doing at this exact moment" thread to chronicle my moment to moment existence, but as my mouse cursor hovered over the New Thread button I realized that even as a joke that is way more tedious than I can possibly stand. I would post once and then regret everything.
-
Is everyone a whiner about new threads? Dudes, I'M saying people are whiny. That's saying a lot. I like this thread idea a lot, actually.
-
Rather than simply pictures of people's rooms, I think you all should post pictures of your sex toy collections. Haul them all out from under the bed and take a picture of them all arranged in an orderly fashion.

Liz your chest is amazing.

Stop staring at her chest, that's impolite

Liz your chest is amazing.
My my, I never knew you felt that way.
-
These pictures are making me realize my room is a mess.
I mean, you guys aren't neat, and I am way worse. God damn. Pics might come soon.
-
I'm going to do this a little differently because I'm lazy.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v614/barmymoo/desk.jpg)
This is my desk, where I do all my work and all my internetting. The noticeboard is now even more colourful and less informative, as the timetable was for Freshers' Week and the space left is full of cards and postcards (notably the amusing Your Future Husband card which Edith gave me). The little white box is for receipts so that I can keep track of my money but it is usually empty because I'm not as organised as I had hoped. Of all the things in this photo, the laptop is the most important but the water bottle comes a close second as there is no sink in my room.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v614/barmymoo/far_left_corner.jpg)
This is my bed. The picture is now hung above the fireplace thanks to a helpful and friendly maintenance man who used to be an archaeologist and decided he wanted to do something less stressful when he got a little older. The electric heater never gets used even when the room is freezing, as electricity is extra and it apparently costs a fortune. I do use the lamp, though.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v614/barmymoo/far_right_corner.jpg)
There isn't much to see here, but often my ice hockey kit resides in this corner. The dark box is referred to on my inventory as a "coffin" and also a "valuable antique item" and contains spare pillows and a cycle helmet. The bureau is also a "valuable antique item" and it contains all my clothes and toiletries. Some of the folders have moved to make way for a bowl of oranges.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v614/barmymoo/near_right_corner.jpg)
This is my bookshelf; there are now more textbooks (second shelf) and also a little collection of recycling which I keep forgetting to take out. The books on the right of the second shelf are all cookery books but I don't have the time or patience to shop for the relevant ingredients so mostly I just improvise. The pink ribbon was tied to my door handle when I arrived as a welcome from the Freshers' Committee.
-
mine has a computer, records, a bed, some dvds and video games, some textbooks, some novels. and now food
-
That is a nice dresser-type thing that you have. Very pretty wood.
Also you have a box of cereal on the floor.
-
I actually took a photo of my desk yesterday! It had to be very secretive because we are a top secret high security floor but whatever. i can't figure out how to turn off the sound on my phone camera so I took one shot and then moved quickly and it came out blurred, so i had to take another. Whoops.
Today I reorganised a couple things and decorated for Christmas, but you don't get to see that. Sorry.
Also I just realised I wrote two 16s. You can decide for yourself which is which.
(http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j125/allylester/deskannotated.jpg)
1- Primary Monitor. This is where I do most of my work. This includes, as you can see, my most important work document. I can also angle myself so that I am sitting directly in front of this screen and my manager who sits in an office behind me cannot see what is in the lower right.
2- Secondary Monitor. This is where my email goes! The white line between the monitors is a tiny tiny list of all the artists so I know who to send timesheets to in order.
3- Phone. I hate phones. It is my job to answer it when the receptionist is out. Supposedly I have a lovely phone voice. I hate phones.
4- Chair. I used to have a blue one but I stole this red one from someone because red is better.
5- Drawers. I don't really keep anything in here aside from spare plastic sleeves and sheets of gold star stickers.
6- Leave forms. I am in charge of leave. The top one is this month's leave and the bottom one is upcoming leave.
7- Phone numbers. I need these massive lists of phone numbers for all the people you need to contact to run an office.
8- Optimus Prime. Because everyone else's desks are covered in action figures and he is all I have because I am poor.
9- KVM Switch. Switches my keyboard, mouse and monitor between my primary (networked) PC and my secondary (research and gaming) PC.
10- H20. Neccessary in an air-conditioned office. I keep lots of bottles because I am too lazy to go to the water cooler often even though it is pretty much right behind me.
11- My bag. It is full of junk. The white thing is probably a cardigan and the red thing my glasses case.
12- Folders. Full of paperwork including trademark issues, real estate (we are moving office soon), work manuals and game research printouts.
13- Cupboard. On top is my printer and photocopier. Inside are years worth of leave forms and timesheets.
14- Lists. My board is covered in them! These lists tell me what games are due to be shipped when, and what artists are doing what, and miscellaneous details of the games like what classes and stuff go in what order.
15- Llama finger puppet. From South America.
16- Sam (Animation Manager)
16- Max (Boyfriend)
17- Edgar the Destroyer Troll doll. You can just see the tip of his blue hair because Sam stole him back.
18- Prinouts of Big Numbers on the board! These are a mystery because I change them often, but actually they are the amount of cards we have left to approve the art for before our first release (we are still in the 500's).
-
Suddenly I want to play Sam and Max. Does anyone remember Sam and Max?
-
There is a reason I put them in that order (also Max's last name is Edgar)
-
Adam told me to do one, so here's my bedroom! Apparently the camera on my phone sucks. I have six pictures for you, and a lot of notes. Bear with me.
It was less tidy when I left my house, but apparently my mom tidied up while I was at work? My bed is usually never made.
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h76/captain_applesauce/room1.jpg)
1. "London Calling", original vinyl. I have a reissue, as well, for listening. I don't have a working turntable right now, though.
2. Danny O's "Fenway Park". Yay, collages!
3. Recliner that doesn't actually recline. It was downstairs for a while, used to be my dad's. Since I've moved it to my room (which has been over a year, now), the only person to ever sit in it was my ex. I don't know why I don't sit in it..it was my idea to put it in my room.
4. 8GB iPod Touch
5. Squier "Vintage Modified" Telecaster Custom (with a Lawrence Arms sticker)
6. Some distortion pedals sitting on top of my guitar amp (not seen: 1979 MXR Distortion +, or the amp itself). An EHX Double Muff (in box), and a Boss DS-1.
7. A pile of guitar cables, a power strip, and the red thing is a size 1 soccer ball.
8. Roll of bubble wrap
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h76/captain_applesauce/room2.jpg)
1. Concert poster. Next President (my friend Noel's old band) w/ special guests Morpholino. It was a pretty good show, and I love Noel's poster designs.
2. Hamper. Red t-shirt sticking out of it. I wore that to work on Saturday.
3. 30GB iPod with broken output jack
4. Alarm clock that doesn't really have a working alarm..
5. Weezer: Video Capture Device DVD. I use it to block the clock at night..I like my room really dark.
6. Night table. Bottom drawer is empty, top drawer has a pair of sunglasses, cash, and two cigars.
7. Funky stainless steel lamp. It's activated by touch, no switches.
8. Bed
9. Dresser. T-shirts and collared shirts.
10. TV
11. Nintendo 64
12. Playstation 2
13. Shelf containing an SNES, random controllers and old games
14. Wally the Green Monster
15. Random signed baseball caps. The 15 is over one signed by former Red Sox player/coach Johnny Pesky.
16. A penguin with a santa hat. I <3 penguins.
17. Postcard, signed by one of my all-time favorite hockey players, Patrick Roy.
18. A little scrapbook with ticket stubs from concerts and games that I've been to.
19. signed baseballs. The closer one is signed by Cubs 3B Amaris Ramirez, and the other by the entire 1949 Boston Braves team.
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h76/captain_applesauce/room3.jpg)
1. MacBook
2. Headphones
3. Desk
4. Chair
5. DVDs
6. Some random CDs
7. Where I keep shorts and sweaters
8. Here be underwear
9. Guitar stand, currently empty. Hope to resolve that soonish.
10. Tissues
11. My curious little radio. Because I'm kind of surrounded by mountains to the east, it picks up stations from NYC, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Montreal, and Toronto, but not Boston. I spend a lot of time listening to French-language news stations from Montreal, even though I don't understand 99% of it. I'd like to learn French though, it sounds really cool.
12. The Raymond J. Bourque memorial trash can.
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h76/captain_applesauce/room4.jpg)
1. Abbey Road, original vinyl. Kinda cliche, but I got it for a buck.
2. Fender Custom Shop calendar. November's guitar: a hybrid of a Telecaster and a Dobro.
3. The door.
4. Records. The bin's got stickers from record shops and labels on it.
5. The body, bridge, tailpiece, electronics, and pickguard from an old Teisco guitar. Maybe someday, I'll find a neck for it.
6. That brown case has some more CDs in it
7. Lightswitch
8. Actually, I dunno why I put an 8 down there. I can't seem to get rid of it, either.
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h76/captain_applesauce/room5.jpg)
1. MacBook
2. It's a window. I have a kinda cool view of downtown North Adams through the trees in my neighbor's yard.
3. Seagate 500GB external hard drive.
4. Sufjan Stevens' "Songs For Christmas" box set. I just re-ripped all five EPs onto my MacBook.
5. Target team member handbook and Starbucks dress code brochure
6. BRTA bus schedule for routes 1 & 12
7. Notebook
8. Sock drawers. The upper one is colored/striped/argyle, the bottom is just whites.
9. Random crap. Mostly guitar parts, picks and packages of strings.
10. Pens, pencils, random documents and notebooks
11. Some more cables, mostly of the iPod charging variety
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h76/captain_applesauce/room6.jpg)
1. Upper bookshelf. Yknow..books. There's also some old Pats/Red Sox media guides and yearbooks down at the end. I love looking through them and being mesmerized over how much advertisements have changed since the mid-1990s. The amount of text in ads now is absolutely minimal.
2. Lower bookshelf. Old tab books, magazines, and some Calvin and Hobbes collections in dire shape. I need to get the bound sets someday.
3. A wool Red Sox 5950. I will not get rid of this. New Era switched from wool to polyester a few years back, and you can't mess with the sizing on the poly 5950s like you can with the wool ones. I also usually store spare change on top of the shelf, under the cap. There's $1.66 there right now.
4. A wool-blend flat cap.
5. My fedora.
6. Closet. Where my coats/button-up shirts/jeans/random sports jerseys reside. I never noticed how figured/trippy the woodgrain is until I took this picture.
7. An xmas gift from my dad a few years back. It's "Electric Guitars: The Illustrated Encyclopedia". Lots of pretty pictures, but it's lacking on a lot of information, and missing quite a few old manufacturers.
-
8. Sock drawers. The upper one is colored/striped/argyle, the bottom is just whites.
Racist.
-
To be fair, the top drawer is like 50/50. But all the colored/striped/argyle socks I have are in that drawer, mixing freely with white socks.
-
you are crazy organized, and have an awesome set of things. Good on you.
-
"crazy" is a way to put it. A lot of times, there are jeans on the floor. I have them in specific spots for certain reasons, but my mom just yells at me about it.
-
Man my mom hasn't tidied my room since I was 8, I am so jealous.
-
Shane, i would never have expected your room to be so clean. I'm impressed.
-
You've never invited me over, Tommy.
-
my dorm room!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/stifled_dreams/DSC_1555.jpg?t=1259619314)
work in progress on this wall, paint chips from home depot. you can see the door to my balcony and the mess on the floor (I went home for thanksgiving and haven't unpacked).
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/stifled_dreams/DSC_1557.jpg?t=1259619536)
desk that I rarely use (it has a ton of tea on it that used to sit on top of the fridge), sad empty wall with two posters (the books and the new year), huge drawing board and portfolio. now that we've moved the fridge I'm looking for a cheap loveseat.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/stifled_dreams/DSC_1556.jpg?t=1259619424)
coats and sweaters and bathrobe in the closet closet. the door to my roommate's room, where we stuck the fridge yesterday. yarn and mugs and perfume on my bookshelf.
yay <3
-
Me, too. Also, is that a single room? That's huge for a dorm single room, at least where I went to school. I'm starting to wish I had a camera, so I could take pictures of my apartment, but it would really be quite boring since I'm a rather tidy person.
-
you have a balcony in yr dorm?
bhhhhhhhhhhhh i wanna balcony i can smoke on.
-
Ally, that wall is absolutely amazing. It might even look cooler just leaving it like that.
Usually my room is pretty neat but considering the likely prospect of moving out soon, I've given up on cleaning up.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/PapasanAnnotation.jpg)
1) Candles
2) Hey I skipped two how did that happen well let's just say that two is on the ceiling where I wrote the word "GULLIBLE" in big letters on a whim
3) Rocks I've collected over the years
4) My lovely papasan chair
5) My teapot which I haven't used in a few weeks and need to wash out
6) A pinecone
7) The Hippie
8) Space heater because this is the only room in the entire fucking house that isn't heated
9) Hatch Show Print Poster
10) You can't read them in this, but it's the lyrics to Passing Afternoon
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/DresserAnnotationcopy.jpg)
1) My turntable which is pretty awesome actually but is currently covered in crap. Notably, a rock, two Hatch posters, a job application I never turned in, and an Atari joystick. And a Smothers Brothers CD.
2) From left to right: A painting by Joe Montgomery, a Celtic postcard, and a painting by Laurie Groth
3) My Fender Precision Bass that I love so much oh yes I do
4) More candles
5) N64
6) A stick I found that I like because it's a pretty stick
7) An Epiphone that a friend loaned me because it needed some adjustments that he didn't know how to do. I'm keeping it until he pays me the money he owes me, though. Ransom his guitar.
8) Plate. I'm usually pretty terrible about hijacking dishes.
9) Pencil drawing my mother did a long ass time ago. It's one of the few things I could never give up.
(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Zingoleb/DesktopAnnotation.jpg)
1) I don't drink a lot of pop but I just splurge and spent like 10 dollars on bottles of pop so that's my entire diet recently
2) My overtly phallic speakers (They're like fucking dildoes (http://www.whiteswanmusic.com/images/detail_images/soundsticks.jpg))
3) Measly record collection. Used to fill this entire shelf but I've been selling them off. I think the majority of it is Jethro Tull and Moody Blues now.
4) My computer that was pretty awesome back in 2000 when it was brand new. You can't see it, but I fished out my old Sam and Max game from 1993 and it is now on top of the computer, waiting to be played.
5) CD's I've yet to put on the computer (There's way more than my pathetic 10 gigs left can handle. I need an external drive hey I can get one now that I'm working a good job)
6) A painting my father did (http://www.arthurbarnes.com)
7) Original rayograph by Jim Orr
8) My violin
You can also tell where the ceiling leaks in this one. Ack.
So, there you go. If you rob me, leave the Hippie
Edit: Oh shit those pictures are kind of massive in retrospect even though I sized them down like a fifth of their size should I resize them down further?
-
wow those look tiny. glad ive never had to live in a dorm.
-
I had posted a couple pics of my new apartment after I moved in this summer, to show off how massive it is (for a two bedroom apartment anyway.) Here they are again:
view looking straight down the central hallway
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/DSCN0652.jpg)
(I'm standing in the dining room facing the front of the house, in order you can see the kitchen, the bathroom, the two bedrooms across the hall from each other, another goddamn dining room, front door, living room, office.)
back porch
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/jhocking/DSCN0651.jpg)
maybe I'll take a pic of my office later, I dunno
-
wow those look tiny. glad ive never had to live in a dorm.
It's not a dorm, it's a bedroom, but it's like 10 foot by 10 foot. It's a jail cell.
-
Ally, that wall is awesome!
I wonder if anyone would guess that my room was a girl's room. I suppose maybe some of the little decorations would give it away, maybe.
(http://img.skitch.com/20091130-x7iu4958gudqndjgy7ccqq94ie.png)
1. My jackets and sweaters that are too big to fit in the closet/can hang.
2. Door to my bathroom, which is so tiny that I'm fairly certain you could sit on the toilet, take a shower and brush your teeth/wash your hands at the same time.
3. DVDs.
4. About half of my hats, gloves, scarves etc. The other half is in one of the bags in point 5.
5. Laundry that I will get done as soon as the fucking laundry system will accept my payment and give me a positive balance on my laundry card.
6. A flower pot, in which three flowers have died. Now my juggling balls reside there.
7. Vacuum cleaner that is supposed to be in the my storage unit-thingy, but this place produces dust like crazy, so I use it so often that I never bother moving it there.
8. Door the hallway. Yes, one door is orange and one is dark blue. Yes, it's ugly.
(http://img.skitch.com/20091130-n9hcbmhmcqe443ajgig2aa7rg6.png)
1. Serving tray that usually serves as a laptop table for me in bed.
2. Verner from Ikea. I wanted Markus, but he was sold out and I only had a car available for one day :(
3. Monitor connected to my MacBook Pro, with a DVD player underneath that I never use now that I've got the new Mac
4. External keyboard. Oh, and apparently I have two fours, the other one is my new MacBook Pro.
5. Clementines <3
6. Christmas decoration that is mostly hidden behind the monitor, but that is visible from outside and cosy.
7. Bodø/Glimt scarf and flag. Yes, the last time we won something was in 1993.
8. Threadless prints that look out of place, and I'm still not sure I like the one on the right, but the one on the left is awesome. Fingernail biting power!
9. Mess of cables that I can never find out what to do with
10. Pepsi Max, iPod touch, cellphone, mouse, more cables.
11. Closet. Another dark blue surface. Oh, and yeah, the desk is blue too, as you can probably tell.
12. Drawer full of old school stuff, blankets, cleaning supplies and some other stuff. Also blue.
(http://img.skitch.com/20091130-betb383fdkqju6cfiet8m9mdfu.png)
1. CD collection, which almost hasn't increased any at all the past couple of years, since I have no more room.
2. Some old music magazines I find it useful to keep, and some school-related magazines.
3. Knitting stuff. Mostly needles and patterns etc.
4. More knitting stuff, specifically yarn and things I am working on.
5. The very limited amount of fiction I have here. If you turn the table-thing around there are a bunch of older school books that I don't need often.
6. Floor cleaning stuff, also needed often.
7. Some decorations, one of the little, purple candle holders is broken :(
8. Neil Patrick Harris <3
9. Cooperation Technology compendium, which I should be studying.
10. Old MacBook, which sees very little use these days.
11. Photos of parents and me and my siblings.
12. Photos of brothers at their confirmations.
13. Map of the surrounding forest-y area, because I once got lost. Lost enough to get pretty worried.
14. Threadless print again.
15. CDs, DVDs, more cables, camera stuff, hadphones, iPod stuff I don't currently use, pens and pencils, coloring supplies.
16. Most relevant school stuff for this semester.
17. Older school stuff, which I still need sometimes. Mostly computer science-related books.
18. Tools and hand weights/dumbbells.
I wonder almost every day who thought dark blue furniture in a relatively small dorm-ish (student housing complex that isn't quite a dorm, but sort of like it) room.

7: Various ornaments and bits. Lots of beer bottles (I collect ale bottles) and some other bits like a matrioshka doll of Russian political leaders with a tiny lenin in the middle, and a model tank made entirely out of Natio 7.62 ammo. In front hang two bullet belts of varying quality.

2: the comfy chair

Part 2 coming in a bit!
-
That dragon in number 10 was on the boxed set of original D&D I got when I was 8. That is the Velvet Underground of nerddom.
-
I waant your shelf space. Badly.
-
Agreed. I could actually put most of my books, movies and CDs not in boxes if I had that many shelves. Unfortunately, shelves are currently very low on my list of things to spend money on.
-
Good grief some of you have mega clutter. My brain, it melts.
Also, I will post my room when I get home and clean it up a bit.
-
*ahem*
Tidying up is not allowed under any circumstances.

We want to see your clutter!

3: Alchemy Gothic poster with a vampire lady looking in the mirror and in the mirror she's a skellington. I think it's called 'Rites of Undeath'.

5: Various gig and festival tickets.
6: A poster of Ackercoke all dressed in tweed jackets and smoking pipes, from an old Terrorizer.

9: Fan: A device for recirculating air.
10: I can't for the life of me see 10, I must have left it out by accident. It was supposed to be the miniature chest of drawers next to the fan, which is full of fossils, and the decorative box on top, which is full of novelty playing cards, including the Iraq war wanted cards where Saddam Hussein is the ace of spades.
11: An 'abstract machine' built from Meccano. It is oddly shaped and has three inputs and no output.
12: Old computer that runs DOS
13: Newer computer that doesn't. Broken.
14: DVDs too nasty to be in the sitting room.

19: some more little flyers and photos and crap.

$20 Canadian dollars for the first guy to photograph his desktop with the lights off after spraying it with Luminol. I've got the bill right in front of me ready to be mailed. C'mon, it will totally be worth the embarrassment.
-
Good grief some of you have mega clutter.
Is this like, a feng shui thing? I have possessions.
-
No I'm not. I'm a boy.
-
I can show you my boo-boo if you like.
-
Then maybe you can show me yours.
We'll make a sort of party out of it.
-
Hang on let me check.
-
Oh shit there's a hair on it.
-
Okay now it is.
-
*ahem*
Tidying up is not allowed under any circumstances.
Pffft, it's not clutter, it's washing. The internet does not need to see my piles of clean washing and I need to put it away anyway.
I will do before and after shots.

I have a two room double, so my roommate has to walk through my room to get outside.
bhhhhhhhhhhhh i wanna balcony i can smoke on.
pretty much all we use it for.
-
I have the same problem with a 'home home' Tommy. People who have lived in the one room all their lives bewilder me.
-
"Boo boo", "ding dong", "home home". Can't you people use grown-up words for your genitals?!
-
Like "perineum." Incidentally, never, ever google "perineum."
-
I have a two room double, so my roommate has to walk through my room to get outside.
In my undergrad school, the rooms containing only one person (whether they were part of a suite or a slightly sillier arrangement) were approximately the size of the biggest closet in my last apartment. My current apartment does not have a walk-in closet and that makes me a little sad.
-
Like "perineum." Incidentally, never, ever google "perineum."
I definitely just did.
Thanks.
-
Word google, or image google?
-
They are both horrifying each in their own special way. In related news, there are words you never want to see after the word "pre-natal" and before the word "massage." I learn new things every day.

room update: we're having a big party thursday night so we put my bed into my roommate's room. we collapsed both of our beds and she has a futon so her room is effectively a giant bed and my room is effectively a dance floor. it RULES.
-
Some of you have very busy walls. I have clutter all over, but the walls are mostly balanced space. I couldn't deal with covered walls.
-
I have the same problem with a 'home home' Tommy. People who have lived in the one room all their lives bewilder me.
This, yeah. I've moved...24 times in the last nine years, and 10 years before that in one house (which I'm incidentally living in again!). But those first ten years I moved to a different bedroom like, every year. Yeah, I've had seven different bedrooms in this house.
-
How many bedrooms are there in your house?!
-
I guess he lives in Hilbert's Hotel.

$20 Canadian dollars for the first guy to photograph his desktop with the lights off after spraying it with Luminol. I've got the bill right in front of me ready to be mailed. C'mon, it will totally be worth the embarrassment.
Send the cash first so I can buy some Luminol. And a blacklight
-
'Net crashed just after I typed this all out. Thankfully I compulsively copy/paste everything I type just in case.
This house was built back in the early 1800's if that tells you anything. Let's see.
Right now there are...eight bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, two kitchens, and a 'sun room' which occasionally gets converted into yet another bedroom (but it's unlivable in winter). We've sectioned off half the house now to rent the other side. It could be a really awesome if it was fixed up proper but as it is it kind of needs a new roof, new siding, and an exterminator because we have a termite infestation. Bleh.
Wait, no, nine bedrooms, I missed one
-
I doubt my desk would need luminol to look dodgy under a blacklight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_water).
-
I just figured out what you were talking about. Considering a) this is a student room, b) this desk is antique and c) I get frequent nosebleeds, I don't even want to think about it.
-
7. Bodø/Glimt scarf and flag. Yes, the last time we won something was in 1993.
Nice, Mari. I've been trying to think of a way to hang up my Man United scarf, but in a way that looks kinda arty and classy instead of "RARGH FOOTBALL SCARF!"
-
I doubt my desk would need luminol to look dodgy under a blacklight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_water).
Tonic water... is even cooler than I ever knew. Wow.
-
Yeah, my spectroscopy professor actually used tonic water when trying to illustrate inner filter effects!
Ok, here's some awesome work/bedroom synergy (excuse the shitty cell phone images):

6 (part 1). Wadded up lab coat that I only use when I teach (so hopefully never again)

2. Laptop (yes, I actually do use both my laptop and my desktop at the same time, I'm wasteful like that)
3. Boring, empty wall
4. TV that never gets used
5. Laundry basket/bag containing dirty clothing. Unusual in that my clothes are folded for once and not just sitting in the basket
6. Surprisingly clean floor
Not pictured: Stack of posters and diploma that I am too damn lazy to hang
Note: My room is significantly cleaner than usual since I cleaned it Sunday night while I couldn't get to sleep.
-
I'll do it if you buy me the Luminol.
-
I doubt my desk would need luminol to look dodgy under a blacklight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_water).
Oh crap. I've spilled all sorts of gin and tonic on my desk (my mouspad is still a bit sticky from one particularly nasty spill).
-
Argh! I want to find Luis Royo and give him a little slap for the amount of time I've spent staring at those posters whilst being tattooed. I Share a whole house, There is not much in my room, but I like this thread I think Imma gonna post pictures in a bit.
-
(http://i47.tinypic.com/vzg3di.jpg)
My bed, my bedside table which includes two electric blanket controls, my phone charger and a lamp but all you can see is the lamp and a sewing machine that doesn't work right now. I'm still working on it. Of course, my poster of the joker.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/chs13.jpg)
From left to right: in the crack between bed and table, we have a collection of plastic instruments, then, the playstation, the xbox, the stereo i use for my DIY stereo sound system and last, my television with gamecube and and external hard drive on top.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/25ggyn6.jpg)
My living quarters. The computer is a Powerbook G4. The red blobs are bean bags, if you couldn't tell. On either side of those are speakers that connect to the stereo in the second picture. This picture does not include my bookbag. It almost does but not quite.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/1ekneu.jpg)
My old laptop, on a desk, hooked to a monitor for no reason. The chair in front is currently holding my entire wardrobe except for the little bit on the back of the couch. In the bottom corners of our picture, we have a trashcan and a clothes hamper.
That is all.
Apologies for bad quality phone pictures.
-
Xbawks, PS2 and Gamecube?
wut
-
Are you going to say something? The most recent thing I have is a Sega Saturn.
-
What is an electric blanket controller and what does it do?
-
Oh crap. I've spilled all sorts of gin and tonic on my desk (my mouspad is still a bit sticky from one particularly nasty spill).
Sir, I'm giving you an award for "Worst possible use of gin & tonic".
The only acceptable useage is "DRINK". Not spill.
-
Well, if you spend enough time with any beverage, some of it will get spilled. I've spent lots of time with lots of gin and tonics. I'd say 99.9% of the ones I have when at my desk end up drunk by me, but 0.1% is still pretty significant when you're talking about spilling something made with high fructose corn syrup.
-
The only acceptable useage is "DRINK".
(http://bshistorian.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/father-jack1.jpg)
DRINK!
-
What is an electric blanket controller and what does it do?
It is a thing that controls the electric blanket? Like, with mine it is connected to the blanket, so I can turn it from 1-9, depending on how hot I want it. The label recommends that if you have it on super high that you turn it off before you go to bed though. I do that anyway because I overheat during the night on my own body heat, I don't need any extra heat helping out.
-
Hm. I...did not know electric blankets were a common thing, I think? When I think about it, I've heard about it once or twice, I suppose, but didn't realize they, well, existed. For regular people. If that makes any sense.
We just, uhm, add an extra blanket, I suppose. But I rarely use anything more than my duvet and one fleece or wool blanket if it's cold.
-
room update: we're having a big party thursday night so we put my bed into my roommate's room. we collapsed both of our beds and she has a futon so her room is effectively a giant bed and my room is effectively a dance floor. it RULES.

It is certainly sweet.
My room in the apartment I shared with a few friends junior year of college (I just realized that was three and a half years ago).
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e8/BastardousBassist/Room/Room1.jpg)
1. A picture of Igor Stravinsky to inspire me
2. Tools of the trade
3. I will never go back to a single monitor
4. Receiver hooked up to the speakers on the desk. Has since been replaced with a legitimate surround sound receiver. Behind you can see my old computer (barely).
5. Assorted detritus including my awesome, wireless joystick, a wang hanger (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2000/5/5/), the remote for the receiver and a w00t priority puck containing items for school.
6. Drawers with useful supplies in them, such as notebook paper and printer paper. On top resides a printer.
7. Other assorted detritus including my battery charger (which very recently died) and a bunch of CDs that I probably had to listen to for class.

3. Awesome car blanket.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e8/BastardousBassist/Room/Room4.jpg)
1. Bicycle. Since stolen. I now have a nice, white one intended for road use rather than off-road use.
2. MMW hat. It's nice and warm, but now I have a Redskins hat so it rarely gets used.
3. Fan sitting on top of speaker boxes in front of my air conditioner because the fan in the air conditioner was so weak that it couldn't circulate the cold air by itself. Also, the insulation was so bad that the air needed to be moved quickly to where it was useful so it didn't have a chance to warm up to outside temperature.
4. Steamer. Useful for getting wrinkles out of large numbers of shirts at once.
5. Laundry. Large is awesome since we didn't have on-site laundry.
6. Dresser. There are clothes in here.
7. Assorted detritus including alarm clock, my awesome lamp, a bear playing upright bass and the beginning of my Bombay Sapphire bottle collection (I have since collected all sizes).

9. Trash can. There is trash in there.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e8/BastardousBassist/Room/Room5.jpg)
1. Door to the outside. There is duct tape around to substitute for the door actually filling up the frame.
2. DVD collection. I've only added two more shelves of DVDs.
3. Books. Mostly for school, since I didn't have space for anything else.
4. My binder of 200+ CDs that I no longer have since it was in my car when the car was stolen. I'm still sad about that, since I still haven't replaced any significant percentage. Luckily most of my classical recordings were in a different binder (my Beethoven was not).
5. Wardrobe to hang things up in since I didn't have a closet in my room. Mostly work clothes, i.e. nice shirts and suits and stuff like that.

6: Star Wars Legos
Ooh, do you have the original Y-wing model? I wanted to get it because the Y-wing was my favourite Star Wars space-ship when I was a kid but then I didn't because it was, like, A$70, and then when I finally decided to get it they'd discontinued it and now they've got some crappy new model but it's "Annakin's Y-wing" or some bullshit and no way am I buying that because I refuse to endorse the prequel trilogy in any way and even though I can find the original model on Amazon none of the stores that Amazon sources it through will ship it to Australia and it makes me sad.

going to go read some loli, bbl
Andy isn't a loli.

Yep! I've got an X-wing, Y-wing, B-wing, 2 A-wings (they were cheap), 2 TIE fighters, 1 TIE interceptor, 1 TIE Bomber, 1 Droid TIE, Darth Vader's TIE Advanced, a Bespin Cloud Car, and Boba Fett's Slave I. Ditto on none of this crappy prequel trilogy stuff.
The TIE Defender gets released in January and I'm totally going to get it. There's also a mid-scale Millennium Falcon that I might pick up, if I have the money (because I definitely can't afford the full-scale, $500 set).
Star Wars Legos are basically my super-nerd guilty pleasure.

They are self-portraits, Joe.
:-o
:evil:
:|
-
Joe that is how my creepy uncle would respond to that, you're like the same age as my boyfriend. Don't respond like an old man >:CCC
-
Oh man Joe you are supposed to be old, my boyfriend is like your age.
God damn what the hell no Joe you are actually like 54.
-
fine serious answer:
I hope you aren't that girl who makes black and white movies of herself naked for class assignments. That's one of the stereotypes you encounter at art schools and it's totally transparent, like girls who make out with each other in clubs.
-
I have done this. I don't mind. I am pretty transparent.
Actually basically everything I do is a nude self portrait somehow.
-
Between that last post and your comments in the Dov Charney thread, I am starting to think that you are the sort of girl who dates married men and insists to your friends that he loves you.
-
Ew gross, love is for posers. I go for the money.
-
everything I say is exactly who I am and what I am all about, always

Woman #1: It's really small, you know, but the sex is wonderful.
Woman #2: You mean he's rich?
Woman #1: Yeah. Exactly.

Explain yourself.
-
Yeah. The Y-wing was the lamest fighter there was.
-
Dudes the Y-wing was the B-17 Flying Fortress of the Star Wars world.
-
So, basically the lame version of the B-Wing (B-29 Superfortress)?
-
Thank you, Harry. I thought that I was the only one that was a big Y-Wing fan back in the day.
-
You're welcome. Always a pleasure to meet someone of discriminating taste.
So, basically the lame version of the B-Wing (B-29 Superfortress)?
If by "lame" you mean "infinitely less ugly", sure.
-
Okay, but have you seen the loadout on a B-wing? If you're going for a bomber, you've got to go for super unglamorous but crazy effective and the B-wing checks all of those boxes. If you want to talk about attractive, then it's just the X-wing and we're done.
-
Okay, but have you seen the loadout on a B-wing?
No because I'm not a massive nerd.
-
I see. For some reason I thought I saw the word "moderator" under your name :-P
This conversations about Star Wars spacecraft was far too in-depth. We now need to chug beers and arm wrestle.
-
Can we sip whisky and play chess instead?
-
Harry... I feel like we have reached a new level of understanding. Islay and Ruy Lopez. Let's be bffs man.
-

That is probably a better way considering neither of us is in a fraternity.
-

Boyfriends with fisting? Man, I'm not so sure . . .
-
Ewww, there ain't no amount of Lagavulin in this world that would make that a good idea.

You'd be surprised, that stuff's above 40%.

I *don't* live in a dorm. I'm not planning on attending college for another year (gotta save money)
Anyway, here goes my narcissistic display of my messy bedroom:
(http://imgdump.org/fVTspgPAs7/CfeSA223.jpg)
1: French poster of Laputa: Castle In The Sky (laminated)
2: Computer Monitor, cleverly turned around in order to watch movies and avoid use of chair
3: Empty bottle of Schnapps from gift shop in Salzburg salt mine
4: Turntable with Al Di Meola live album which I bought for ~5 dollars
5: Recording of Mahler's 6th Symphony. I can't remember what orchestra or conductor.
6: Some books and CDs
7: Lavalamp and alarm clock, currently not in use
8: Ghost In The Shell poster. Came with DVD
9: Zildjian Sweet Ride
10: Stereo speaker with plate on top. Possibly related to the unseen cheapass receiver and the other speaker up higher
(http://imgdump.org/fVTspgPAs7/9s3ttdMojLevGQ.jpg)
1: Les Miserables and The Judgment of Paris (I sense a theme here)
2: Pro-Ject Headbox II headphone amp, shitass subwoofer
3: Speaker sitting on top of hand drum
4: Receiver sitting on top of spare drum throne (I sure am cheap aren't I?)
(http://imgdump.org/fVTspgPAs7/9yxmeugEADXyPF.jpg)
1: Books? In my closet?
2: A very shitty cymbal
3: A floor tom
4: A very old computer
5: Acoustic guitar. Given up in favour of old upright piano not pictured
6: Rear computer speaker, other 4 not pictured
7: Clothes?
(http://imgdump.org/fVTspgPAs7/QhEyHxtUKR3cNE.jpg)

5: Watchmen button thingy; stolen from movie theatre
6: Book on Indian Cuisine, Call of Duty World at War, and bottle of tylenol
7: My monitor and desktop
-

I like to put a little distilled water in the cask strength whisky. I have this pathetic love of walking, and also not waking up on a park bench in fishing waders and a ladies bonnet.
-
I like A-Wings!
zoooom
-
hey how bout we just list every single ship in this picture
(http://gamezig.com/images/star-wars-ships-swtor.jpg)
-
X-Wings, A-Wing, Millennium Falcon, Imperial Star Destroyer Mk II (You can tell because it has a smaller sensor on the bridge), TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, Y-Wing, Death Star II, Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, Imperial Shuttle. Incidentally the only one of those that doesn't have an official Lego model is the Executor.
Bunch of shitty Star Trek stuff.
That ship from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Uh, Red Dwarf
-
This thread is doing wonders for my self-esteem.

The scale makes it confusing. There's a borg cube, and I think three enterprises (NCC1701-A, NCC1701-D and NCC1701-E if I'm not mistaken)
That ship from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Discovery One.
Phillistine
A close examination of the picture also reveals Starbug, Darth Vader's personal TIE Advanced prototype, and several other objects I could not identify.
This image, however, is too small. I shall repair to my photoshop layer and make a large image of many spaceships that shall provide a true challenge.
-
oh my god I was kidding
-
I thought so. In my defence, I was mostly hoping to produce a Star Trek vs Star Wars argument with my "Bunch of shitty Star Trek stuff." comment. Clearly my forum manipulation skills need improvement.
Wait, that's not a good defence.
Damn.
-
Wait a minute, if this is a councillor ship, where's the ambassador?
-
Man I am having so much fun making a big dang ol picture full of spaceships.
I just remembered the one in the bottom right, it's the ship from Last Starfighter. The Gunstar?
-

That is probably a better way considering neither of us is in a fraternity.
Funny story, I'm actually in a fraternity...
-
I play in a band with a guy in a fraternity, and one of the guys in my year of the PhD program was in a fraternity. I know not everyone falls into the stereotype, but it's still a good joke. Hell, I don't have to tell you about stereotypes judging by your user name.
