THE ROOM - Shelves, Shelves, and a Bit of Wall
So yeah, the layout of my page with the slightly large images kinda irks me, but I don't wanna shrink 'em too much . . . ah well. Anyway, let's do this!
So this is the complete bookshelf, sorted and ordered meticulously and . . . maybe anal-retentively . . . . . ahem. First shelf on top: novels on the left, comics/manga on the right. Second shelf: ancient/classic, medieval, and other early writings - Shakespeare, Herodotus, Vergil . . . CHAUCER . . . they're all in there. Third shelf: textbooks on the left, and miscellaneous stuff like Star Wars Essential Guides, War-literature, and Warhammer 40k rulebooks (second edition) on the right. Bottom shelf: high school motorboard and yearbooks on the left, old grade 8 piggybank in center (made it), and music-type stuff on the right like music stand and a trumpet harmon mute. Yeah, "How To Be" fits with misc. stuff . . . another funny story is that yellow book in the "misc." section - you can see where a nosebleed accident occured. Also of good fun is in the "textbook" section . . . Latin students should be able to notice a few certain colour-coded textbooks in there . . . hehe. Oh, all the books are ordered in alphabetical order based on author as best I could as well - just throwing that in.
On the left of the bookshelf is this shelf. This one doesn't have a clear-cut role like the other one . . . but it does hold some pretty cool stuff. I'll talk about the toys and models in a sec . . . now, that wooden boat that's holding all the hats was an art thing in elementary school, but it holds hats up really well (including the fedora [Indiana Jones costume bit #2!]). Under the hats is the shot glass collection, ordered alphabetically by the place they're from. Yeah, shot glasses are my preferred choice in souveneir item - parents have helped fill that out as well. Below that, a Canucks souveneir hockey stick, some pens (more on that later), a plastic boomerang, a couple broken pairs of sunglasses, a Boba Fett pez dispenser, a random basket of electronic things, a pack of Greek Myth playing cards, and behind that a toy cap gun (Indiana Jones costume item #3!). The books beneath that were not deemed "shelf-worthy".
This and the next pic were actually taken later than the original run of photos after I saw how blurry the last one turned out. Anyway, here are my toys and models and stuff. The stressed out Coke bottle is from Mexico (band trip), and the not stressed out one is from . . . somewhere. The knight on the left has a broken shield-hand, and that piece is lying next to the smaller William Wallace statue-thing. The Ringwraith and the Gundam Wing action figures were presents from "The Girl" during various points in time - the heavy arms was just a model I bought and painted. Beneath that are my Blood Angel Space Marines - my first large, expensive hobby. Back in those days I was a crappy painter and many of those are still unpainted. Ah well . . . yeah, some of my brother's Dark Angels are in there too, but meh. So yeah, all those "elevation platforms" are mostly Games Workshop boxes or cassette tapes.
Heh, I like to refer to this as "The Dead Pens Society" . . . okay, I only made that up a few days ago, but still. Anyway, the metal box was cut and spot-welded by myself in grade 8 (another Industrial Education project). Explains why it's falling apart now, eh? Hehe . . . anyway, what's important about this is that this pretty much sums me up as a writer and an English Major. Once I finally started paying attention, I started keeping all the Paper-Mate pens that I have ever used to completion. I don't know what that's supposed to represent exactly, but hell, I've gone through a lot of pens these past many years . . .
So now we're onto the west wall that faces our next door neighbours. Heh, from this angle you can see a large box filled with papers on that shelf on the right - yeah, those are all my university notes up until now. Scary, huh? Hehe . . . mostly, this photo is of my giant desk which technically supports two face-to-face people, but instead there's just boxes and crap under the other side of it. I'll have a better picture of the desk later, so I'll wait 'til then to talk about it along with the walls and stuff. Hehe . . . so, in the reflection in the window, you can see what my light fixture looks like. It's not a very powerful lightbulb in there, let me tell ya . . . . . oh, and about those NBA curtains, um . . . my grandma made them for my brother a long time ago (though none of us really like basketball to begin with). Now, well . . . I'd LIKE to think that they're temporary, but uh . . . yeah . . . . . oh, though I'll mention it later, you see that red binder on the desk? That is THE red binder - the one I carried around in my senior years of high school, writing my stories and stuff . . . so yeah, that's what that is. Neat, ne?
Jikai: A wall, a desk, and a very special shelf!
