THE ROOM - Entrance, Wall One, and Weapons . . .
Now technically my room is only lit by a single hanging bulb during the night, though the open window does stream in a LOT of light . . . but that's later. Here you can see the side of my bookshelf, and the tangle of cords that runs to my gigantic desk that I never use - no plugs on that wall, it's very frustrating . . .
And around the corner, and here we are. Massive floor space. And yes, I am a slob in many ways . . . though this is just the day after laundry day, so that's only 1-2 days worth of clothes, including the Superstore uniform which had to air out a bit for the next day . . . I decided to intervene and bury the underwear under the other stuff - y'know, it's just decent that way (boxers, there). The belt on the left is my black "work" belt, and the one on the right is my brown "casual" belt. The basement's cold, so I have two blankets. Other than that . . . I'll elaborate on everything else - especially that one bookcase - when I close up on them later. Of interest are my black dress pants for work on the left. See how they're crumpled straight down? Basically, that's how my pants look at the end of the day - I drop 'em, step out of them, and go straight into bed. Fun image, ne? Nyah hah hah . . .
I backed myself right up against my headboard to get this shot of my . . . north wall. As you can see, I'm missing two movies from that wall (RotJ will probably have to go under ESB, but that's fine). I think that might be my leg in the blinding light at the bottom, but that's not important . . . so yeah, middle case is bookcase, left case is . . . random stuffs and things I need to get out of the way, and . . . yeah. Between the cases are a thing of devil sticks (kinda fun to play with, though I rarely do) and a carnival mallet from that "test your strength" game. Heh, I lost. Anyway, let's get to swords now . . .
Of the five Chinese straight swords (or giem/geem in Cantonese, which rhymes with "seem") I found in the basement, these two were in the best condition - and even that was a stretch! The blue-tasseled one on top is the better-balanced one, though the grip is really loose; the red-tasseled one is longer and front-heavy. I put them against the bookcase there because I felt bad for them being in the far corner of my room with the spear-like device . . . I needed them to be closer to the other weapons . . . . . but yes, for the record, I'm not very good with a geem because they require finesse, of which I have none. Oh, extra fun little note: see the school assignment sticking out sideways on the shelf second from the bottom? That is the ORIGINAL, handed in hard copy of "How To Be A Chinese-Canadian" which I am so proud of!
The weapons!!! So yeah, that wicked stand with the two Chinese broadswords (do, which rhymes with "toe") was also hidden in the laundry room with the other weapons. Once I had room space, I felt I needed to liberate them for my own gain. Hehe . . . they're also front-heavy, so I don't think they'd be too good for a fight either. Ah well, they look cool. That said, I can fight with do a lot better than I can with geem. Under the swords, from left to right, are my slingshot (bought on a band trip to Idaho [more on that later]), two things of nunchaku that my dad AND older brother left behind (rusted chains not visible), and my . . . collectable Indiana Jones bullwhip. Heh. That said, I'm gonna point out all the bits of my wonderful Indiana Jones costume as we go around the room . . . so yeah, under that is the top shelf of modern-ish novels and comic books, divided by some moose-plushie I got during Dry Grad. And yes, that is Peace Maker Kurogane volume 1; it came with the first DVD. And yes, there are two Star Wars novels - my younger brother has the rest.
So this is how I'm gonna go about this, I think. Hopefully the pictures are of a decent size given photobucket's resizing restrictions. Tomorrow, shelves, shelves, and half of the west wall!
