Select books that I brought to my dorm room, that gap on the left shelf is for The Lord of the Rings which I loaned to a friend.


And the view from my window:

The building circled in red is the Angolan Embassy, which is pretty cool.

oh god so since i'm in the middle of moving, all my shoes were packed away.  to take this photo i just grabbed the ones that were most easily accessible.  there are at lease 5 more pairs that are still packed away/lent to friends at the moment.



i uh... i think i may have a problem.

and to continue the shoe theme i want to see sam's, kieffer's, andy's, shane's, liz's and ally's favorite pair!  (although anyone who has particularly rad shoes should also post theirs)

These shoes have basically disintegrated, Mai, but I still have them.

Okay Mai, so I scrutinized and thought about it.. And here is the shot



Are my favorite shoes for various reasons.

Red ones in the front: most expensive shoes I will ever own, handmade red italian leather, 700 dollars, a present? God damnit give me that money for school auntie. Still, sexiest shoes alive.

Purple one: super comfy and cute, also hand painted by me because I love peacocks

Black ones in the middle that you can't really see: Great things happen every time I wear them, too bad that there is so much ice that makes them unfeasible

Flowery Birks: I painted these and they are the most comfortable things ever.

Bowling style chucks: a close friend sent these and the 6 inch T-Bars from Brazil

Black 6 inch T-Bars: Make me around 6'2 tall, enough said

Shoes in the back that look black but are actually reflective Navy: A present from my father, they're Carlos Santana, who doesn't want Carlos Santana Shoes. Jesus.

These are not the shoes I wear the most, just my favorites. :c

Also, because everyone else got to do it.

Part of my book shelf(I have a lot in storage):

EDIT::

I forgot to mention those are my grandfather's ashes on the shelf. I don't want you guys to think I have random jars of dust. I really am trying to find the perfect urn.

So....here are my books that I have in my dorm room. They represent a decent percentage of the books I actually own but there's a good entire book shelf or two still at home that I couldn't bring up. I like having lots of books with me, even though I've read most of these and the ones I haven't read I won't have time to read, for the most part, until the summer when they're all back home. The ones on top of the book case are mostly art history, film theory and human rights theory, the top shelf is some more history/human rights writing and then all my Pynchon, Faulkner, McCarthy and Garcia Marquez books while the bottom shelf is my Roberto Bolano collection, some of my favorite books of poetry and the various novels. Overflow goes to the windowsill.




While I have some of the "classics" of various genres (No Logo, The Aeneid, Moby Dick, Brothers Karamazov, Discipline and Punish and so on), most of my non-novels are fairly nerdy and cover Latin American colonial history and the psychology of torture and a bunch of mostly leftist thinking on subjects of modernity and war and such.

I'm going to go ahead and assume the reason you have an Ayn Rand novel in your bookshelf is the same reason I have an Ayn Rand novel in my bookshelf: because your dad gave it to you in a haphazard attempt to convert you to his worldview.

Someone earlier asked for pictures of workplaces, and I seem to be the only one who is going to oblige:



My bench is the one on the left, my desk is just past it (of course I have the only desk without a nice, big window that our building is covered with)

It's amazingly clean today, normally it's cluttered with plates, flasks, beakers and a gel rig or two. Unfortunately nobody was in the lab when I took it, so no bonus points for me

All of these images can be clicked on for larger sizes (yay detail!)

Here are my movies and books:


And my desk:


The only thing hanging on my walls (thank goodness it is rad). It looks crooked because the picture is taken at an angle. I actually had to stand in my dining room and take the picture through the doorway to get the whole thing in the frame!


Aaaand my shoe collection. :-D

Athletic-type shoes (they don't get worn very often). Favorites here are the lime green and plaid pairs.


Flats! The leopard print ones are the best. So comfortable!


Boots, sandals, wedges (the "etc" group, if you will). Black boots and gold sandals are favorites here.


And my heels. Oh I love them. It is hard to pick one favorite, really. I love the purple fuzzy pair, the white wedges, the ridiculous bright colored pair, and the turquoise and brown pair.


And last but not least, Halloween costume!

Your dad wanted you to believe that rape is an acceptable form of expressing one's individualism and will be seen as such and even respected by the victim if in fact she is also a fully authentic person who recognizes the value in individualism?  Ayn Rand is utterly ridiculous.  The Fountainhead is unintentionally valuable for its philosophy of aesthetics; barring that everything she ever wrote was tripe in terms of being a valuable way of looking at society at large, individual interactions, or even as just a general piece of fiction.  Ugh...  But I digress.  Nice bookshelves.

Here is  my desk! My iMac is the one on the left of the picture (aluminium one) and the bf's one is the white one on the right. It's generally a little bit more cluttered than it is in that picture.



Here is one for interesting things on the walls:
- Hard drive platters, which are pretty cool mirrors, QC poster from a couple of years ago and a whiteboard/pin board with a bunch of postcards from some of you guys and other cool things I've collected. (you can see the old desk here in this photo, that's gone and is replaced with the new desk in the photo above)

So basically the only thing I have that is rad enough to post in this thread is my record collection. I guess it is still pretty small but I just started it this past summer, so I think I am doing pretty good.


(from left to right: thursday/envy split 12", sparrows swarm and sing - untitled #2, a silver mt zion - 13 blues for thirteen moons, mono - walking cloud..., a silver mt zion - this is our punk rock..., the pirate ship quintet - s/t, a silver mt zion - he has left us alone..., a silver mt zion - horses in the sky, mono - you are there)


(mogwai - a hawk is howling, matthew robert cooper - miniatures, jakob - solace, gb!ye - f#a# infinity, faraquet - anthology 1997-98, dirty three - horse stories, do make say think - & yet & yet, dmst again - winter hymn..., daturah - reverie)


(mono - memorie dal futuro, elder - s/t, lcd soundsystem/arcade fire split, monument - a 3 song 7", peter & craig/i have no idea who the other band is split, a lily - i dress my ankles with god's sweetest words, indigenous music of the village of nongnaad part 2, harry and the potters - scarred for life (only thing that predates this summer), shipping news - flies the fields, the pax cecilia - blessed are the bonds, the summer we went west - following the holy moon goddess, i would set myself on fire for you - belief in patterns)

So that is my record/other music collection. I wanna see your music collections now, if they are cool. Especially Tommy's and Paul's (if you want to.)

I know this one is sad because its self conciously odd, but its the only one I can reply to thus far, also Camera is crappy, can provide you with what the words say if you like:







The line around the top reads "we must TAKE out TABLETS or else we will GO MAD"

The circulat poke-ball bill says "this one helps me not to scare the postman", the yellow one below that says "I love this one so much it HURTS. one day it will understand my SPECIAL POWERS and love me too". The others seemed just about legible, but as I mention, do say if a translation is required.

hey daz, i don't actually have a pokemon squad, but maybe this counts? it's been on my fridge whiteboard for weeks because i had it stuck in my head for a while.


and my favorite drinking receptacle, with bonus teakettle in background.


some of the art on my walls... we got these prints at APE in san francisco from some guy whose name i forget. (yes i know they are poorly framed.)



no picture of my desk, since i don't have one. and no picture of my workplace, since it is secret.

hey guys, show me the contents of your pockets. the things that you carry with you every day.
here is what i always have with me: a good clicky pen, chapstick medicated (i've gone through 2-3 tubes per month for the last 10 years), and my cell phone (lg rumor).

Yelley I have never seen one person go through Chapstick quicker than you. My dad goes through a tube maybe once every 15 years (it is one of his most noticeable cheapskate habits). My sister and I once bought him a 5-tube pack for Christmas telling him that he would die before using it all.

I always have my wallet, some Burt's Bees, my house/bike lock keys, a little cloth for cleaning my glasses, and a pen of some sort.


I also do not like to leave the house without 1 toonie, 1 loonie, 2 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 2 pennies.


I'm a little late to the party on this one, but here is a poorly taken picture of my bookshelf. The only light in my room is inconveniently on the wall instead of the ceiling. I organise my books by their height. It's not a very rigourous system, really. Tall books on the top shelf, medium height on the middle, and tiny books on the bottom. The middle shelf is also divided into books that are mine on the left, books in the middle that I am currently re-reading (No one belongs here more than you and Tropic of Cancer for what is probably the twentieth time or so), and to the right are two books that seem to be hiding that I have borrowed (One Hundred Years of Solitude from my friend's girlfriend and the Yiddish Policemen's Union from my brother). If it were a better picture you could see my little dinosaur figure, my airplane that spins and the neat cylinder filled with goo that is like a more interesting hour glass to watch.

I like how that copy of Mein Kampf or whatever stood out even more.

I wanna see your music collections now, if they are cool. Especially Tommy's and Paul's (if you want to.)

I have only kept the LPs that still have some value to me now that loads of stuff is on CDs.  But I still have a hundred-odd, most of which are recordings not otherwise available, but also of little interest to most people.  And you don't want pictures of a couple of thousand CDs!

Here are a few LPs. 



The Tavener is probably the most valuable (it can fetch a couple of hundred pounds).  Sgt Pepper is just there to show I still have the cutout sheet, untouched - but I didn't buy it early enough to get the coloured inner sleeve.  The White Album has the original sleeve design which opens at the top instead of the ends (it was bought on the day of release).  The picture book is called "The Beatles Get Back" and came with the original release of Let It Be (also bought on the day of release).

And here I present every recording of Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle ever commercially released anywhere,  plus a few bootlegs.  All but two made it to CD at some time:

That is the most awesome thing I've seen all day. What is it made of? It can't really be snow.

There's this really handy "other thing" I'm going to write as a footnote to my abstract that I can probably explore these issues in. I think I'll call it my "dissertation."

Because you gave us the awesome snowmanpunkband, I'll indulge you.
If that's okay with the rules. Is it?

Whenever Paul posts, the rest of the thread is people trying to catch up. And failing.
