Weekend notes and room tour

[effex]

Saturday was busy - I went to the pro-choice rally in downtown Dallas (good turnout, poor organization), swung by the Libya Solidarity rally, saw Unknown with a friend (it was as boring as the trailers suggested), went out to dinner at a Cajun joint (ate alligator for the first time), and went out clubbing with my roommates. I'm making up for it by doing absolutely nothing today. Other than taking some photos and making this post. And maybe some laundry.

Speaking of photos: a...while ago zanzado posted photos of hir piles of stuff room and I said I'd do the same once my piles of stuff place was presentable.





Detail shots: The art going up the wall (yeah, I gave up on buying frames for everything pretty quick). The art over the bed. The books on the nightstand. The left bookcase: one, two, and three. The central bookcase: one, two, three, and four. The right bookcase: one, two, three, and four. (The 'smart' books are out in the living room.)



Detail shots: The small bookcase and pile of toys. Closeup of the small bookcase (plus cat). Top of small bookcase. Closeup of buttons (look, what else was I going to do with my graduation cap?). Closeup of chessboard. Closeup of jewelry stand. My giant window (yes, I live in the middle of Dallas).



The area to the left of the door (if you're inside the room, anyway). More toys, the cat fueling station, my doujinshi collection, and the bathroom door.



My dresser with even more toys, including Daniel (one of my BJDs). I saw the original of that Monet when I was in Japan (it's much smaller than the print) and it's been one of my absolute favorites since.



Bonus shot: Susie napping.

First of all: that entry was back in September! HA!

Second of all, what a lovely lovely window front. I adore that you have your bed right under the window. <3

I'm going sort-of backwards through the images, so disjointed commentary NOW:

RUNAWAYS!
CAT!
I want that Yoruichi pin. And the Mythbusters pin. And is that a Lee pin? WANT.
Mmm art. I don't have anything other than calendars on my walls right now. #thismustchange #twitterevidentlyinvadingmylife
I recognize way too many of your books.
FROM EROICA WITH LOVE. <333
KATO. <33333
RENO <33333
Please tell me you have more than 2 volumes of Saiyuki and 3 of Vagabond. HOW COULD YOU ... STOP?
O HAI, JAPANESE MANGA. <333
Wodehouse, Beowulf, The History of Jazz .... *flees* (although admittedly my non-fiction bookshelf is like "Fractal maths! A whole bunch of books on the Crusades by Arab historians and also Bernard Lewis! Critical commentary on Lessing's Laokoon! Etc.")
Aaah, that screen background. J'adore.

[winces] Yeah, I figured it was about that far back.

* RUNAWAYS! I do love me some Runaways.
* CAT! Susie is a good cat, if often cranky.
* It is a Lee pin! Lee is my favorite.
* I need more art myself, there are too many empty spaces on my walls.
* <33333333
* I don't own half the manga (or books in general) I wish I owned. I've read further, if that makes you feel better.
* I've fangirled halcyonjazz for an embarrassingly long time, that desktop wallpaper is a permanent fixture. My roommates are very understanding.

I feel reassured re: Saiyuki & Vagabond.

Have you read the last couple of pages of Sfeer Theory? [Redacted for enthusiastic spoilers]

[effex]

I twitter!stalk her, so I'm reading the pages almost as soon as they go up. I am up to date and it is shiny.

Seriously, so pretty.

And did you see her update re: her new pro comic thing?

[zanzando]

We are joined in twitter!stalking then. And yes I did! Still occasionally *___* about it.
