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

I work in a Factory that makes medical tubings out of silicone plastic.
some days are quite slow so i make little guys out of the raw silicone.

I really love that drum set

I am also a little late with the theme but I have a picture of my office at college, complete with friend:


And also my favourite shoes:



I was going to show you my bookcase but the photo I already have only has about five books on it and it's not very interesting, and my room is very cold today so I'm not venturing in there.
Guys, I would like to see your favourite thing. I'd prefer it if this didn't cross over with another category (for example not shoes, or books).


ETA: I just realised my first photo also works for the "rad things on walls" category. I will see if I can get a close up...

Ok it isn't great but it is a series of postcards with cats on them. They are very cute and I'll be taking them with me when I go to university (providing the cleaners haven't stolen them before I go).




ETA ETA: Paul those are both incredibly beautiful objects. I wish I still had a real piano at home, although playing the college's baby grand is a semi-compromise.

Favourites?  I dare say they can change from time to time, but of what I own this is currently riding high -

Broadwood "Small Grand" 1894:


If you look hard, the music desk spells the name "Broadwood".  The wall behind is going to be fixed soon.

My favourite thing in the whole house is owned by my wife -

"Dog One" by Frink:

So my favorite thing is probably this:



I call it my Channukitty since it was a Channukah gift.


I used to have this excellent bottle opener that was vintage (probably 1920's). It had a handle that was a naked woman made entirely of iron (seriously, you could bludgeon someone do death with the damn thing) that I lost when I moved out here to Ct. I still pine for my poor bottle opener

i have a few favourite things, here is one of them -



i got this tablet for a pretty sweet 30% off discount on account i was working for a computer parts distributor at the time. unfortunately, not even a year after the purchase (and just when i was starting to get the hang of it!), my desktop died and i'm back to my old laptop which is far too decrepit and slow to be able to run either photoshop cs4 or illustrator. i just use it as a mouse now but that's pretty fun too. one day, macbook, one day.

you can see also some chips on the floor that i am eating. i like chips but they're only okay, not really my favourite or anything.

I have that exact same tablet. I bought it one time thinking that I could use it for all kinds of stuff, then I realized I can't draw. Also I don't have photoshop, and I don't really want to spend the time learning GIMP right now... not that I could draw anything if I did know how to use it.

I have a desk. It is huge because my computer is huge.



Things you can see, left to right:

Pringles, a light up skull that is facing away from the camera, Monitor 1, toothpicks, headset, dice bag+dice(and a hanging mummy), monitor 2, PS2 controller(best thing ever for ROMs), computron 9001, flashlight, calculator, two of those metal thought puzzle things("Can you seperate these two twisty bits of metal?), calculator and part of an hourglass.

Also I really need to dust, I guess.

As above, my desk.

From left to right: monitor, awful keyboard, mouse, cd player, amp, speaker propped up by some books, cans of diet coke caffeine free, and some drawing pins.

Here are some of the albums that were close to my seat:

Some time ago, a request for smoking implements was posted.
I said I'd indulge if it wasn't against the rules.
I hope it isn't.

Pic 1: All of my smoking stuff except the big shisha goes inside this bag.
It used to be a first aid kit and I like to think it still serves that purpose.



Pic 2: The goodie bag in its full glory. I didn't label it too explicitly but you can imagine what goes where.



Pic 3: The current pipe collection.

I thought Shisha was the term for the molasses soaked tobacco that you smoked out of a hookah?

Depending on where you are and where you buy it from, a glass water pipe can be called a Shisha, a Hookah, a Nargileh etc.
The first time I smoked one, people called it a shisha. I stayed with it.

Around me, the substance is definitely the shisha/romman tobacco and the machinery is the hookah.

likewise.

i don't bother with the stuff though. i'm an avid smoker of several other things so smoking shisha is pretty much just like breathing regular air for me.

Back in Egypt the word is pronounced more like "shoe-shah" than "shee-shah" but regardless it was the huge water pipe. My mom used to have one made of gold that she kept in our home's entranceway; I don't think she realized what it was.

Last tidbit on water pipes:
In Iran and Afghanistan, it is also called a "reilun". Bonus points for confusion, Middle-Eastern countries!

If I may request - can I see a proper shoe collection? While I was traveling, my mom threw out around 10 pairs and now it saddens me to look at mine.
