   More Pics! ^o^
Ugh, I had a really long and thought-out comment typed into the comment box for EAMR's post today, but right before I finished it I clicked the wrong button in Media Player (I was listening to music as I typed), and my genius computer changed the comment box window to some stupid promo for a CD. Naturally, I frantically right-clicked for the "back" command, but my typed comment was long-gone.
Grrrrrr! I hate when stuff like that happens! Anybody else ever have that happen to them?

Anyway, I'll re-type my comment later tonight for ya', Elvezy, and I'll also get to commenting on anybody else's site I'm yet to do so on (again, like my dumb self usually does, I've read your posts but just haven't commented ^_^').

So, are you guys liking the new song on my site? Or, maybe I should rephrase that: How many of you are actually able to listen to the song on my site? Is it working for anybody but me?
In case you were wondering, Apocalyptica is a group of classical cellists from Finland who do covers of classic metal songs (how's that for unique!? :D). At first they only covered Metallica songs, but they've also started covering Rammstein and Pantera (sp?), along with a few others.

OK everybody, since you said you wouldn't mind me showing you my work-space and room, I'll go ahead and show you those pictures!
(By the way, just so you know, I'd actually be very, VERY interested in seeing photos any of you took of your room or house. I know that makes me sound like a stalker, but I'd love to see what the day-to-day environments of the artists I love and respect are like.)

Here's my room (as you come in through the door):

It's pretty, ain't it? ~^_^~ I love my room. My parents actually designed the lay-out (and they did a damn good job to!).



This is my book-self and the door out of my room. If you look closely, you can see into my little sister's room (or as we like to call it, "The Pepto-Bismol Palace" XD).
Any who, here you can see my TV, my stylish office wall-clock, the bank I'll never use (because it doesn't work XP), and the Kirby mug I made in 7th grade art. (I am and always will be a fan of that loveable little pink trooper! *tear-drop*)



This is the particle-board I have behind my door. That ticket in the top-left corner is from when we got to go see President George W. Bush live and in person back in 7th grade (that's right, I saw the president speak in person!).
The goofy-looking poster in the top-right is a picture of "The Big Schwag" from Monster Garage, signed by "The Big Schwag" himself (I <3 Monster Garage!). Josh and I got to see him as well as some of the actual cars they built on that show when we went to the Auto-Show earlier this year.
The receipt in the bottom-left is from Cheap Joe's Art Supplies, and the artsy diagrams of black holes are things I saved from a National Geographic magazine from middle school when we were cuttin' em' up for collages (I'm such a nerd!).



Ah, my scanner. *caresses sweet Microtek ScanMaker 3600*



Here's my desk and computer. This is where I do most of my drawing (I ditch the blue thingy and skootch back the key-board).



The left-side of my desk. As you can see, I have a wireless router at my house. *smugly raises eye-brows*



The right-side of my desk. Kirby is good company when I'm on the computer, but he's usually too focused on riding his little Warp-Star. Do ya' like my model ship?



The top shelf of my desk. I love my little wooden drawing models, but they're a little tough to get into the positions I want (after all, ya' don't want to snap any of those delicate internal springs or hinges). The small one was given to me by Josh last Christmas along with my current set of colored pencils (I love ya', man!), and the big one my dad got for me at Cheap Joe's in May this year.



Here's the dresser in front of my window. It's mostly for holding all my sister's extra clothes, so I don't get much extra dresser-space. *rolls eyes*
I love my lava-lamp, though. My dad gave me that hat when he went to Nashville, by the way. ^_^



Here's my bed, and the 3 lovely Escher prints above it.
Ever since I was a little kid, M.C. Escher was probably my favorite artist. Those are probably my favorite prints by him (which are, from left to right, "Reptiles", "Concave & Convex", and "Relativity").



Here's my bed-side table.
Now I know that bottle of lotion looks really, really suspicious sitting there, especially since my tissue box is just slightly off-screen, but I can assure you that's not what it's there for! I have a perfectly reasonable explanation!
You see, my hands get really dry and ugly during the winter because they get dehydrated. So, I have to put some lotion on em' every once and a while to keep me from looking like zombie-hands.
Sheesh, you people and your dirty minds! ;P



The Gamecube, my TV, and the horribly unorganized space below it. I really need to clean that space out. It's mostly just my super-old archives of my art from elementary school and early middle-school (meaning it's mostly drawings of Poke'mon and super heroes).



Behold, THE CUBE.
*sigh*, sadly, I may have to say good-bye to Ol' Cubey soon, because my undeserving brother may be getting it back. Just when I was getting to enjoy RE4, to!

OK everyone, did you enjoy that? I hope I didn't bore you all to death with that. ^_^'

Before I go, I'd like to tell you that Miyoko-chan has also posted some pictures from her house, and though she doesn't have any kimono photos yet, she does have some lovely pictures of her adorable kitten Kiko! You can view the cuteness as well as Erin's impressive anime-slathered walls by clicking the proceeding hyperlink.
Ya' know, I may be imagining things but I don't remember Kiko being described as a calico kitty. I could have sworn that Erin said she was a gray kitten at one point. Kiko's full name, "Yukiko" means "Snow-Child" after all, doesn't it? I could have sworn I remembered Erin-chan explaining that a few weeks ago when Kiko first joined the house-hold.
Ah, whatever, this is going to be REALLY awkward if I'm wrong. ^_^''

Woooo! This post tool a WHILE to type! I think I set a new record!
OK everybody, I'll see you tomorrow!
