My desk [Aug. 8th, 2007|11:07 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
 

As suggested by megatronbomb, I decided to share photos of my desk. On the "extended desk" shelving closest to me when I took this photo, there's: a bag of spelt pretzels; a giant plastic bowl filled the remainder of a too-expensive vegetarian dish I got today at Thai Noon that, unexpectedly, had shrimps in it; speakers (hidden) connected to my laptop; my day planner (Quo Vadis); my journal; a notebook for the play I'm (half-assedly) writing; a couple of folders of info related to a dance project I'm helping put together; and my contacts, seldom-worn, in a case.




Zooming in, we swing right past my laptop, which was playing Alamo Race Track at the time, and we're at the Dell Dinosaur that lumbers on, nearing its second decade of life. To the monitor's right, unseen, is the hard-drive, topped with its speakers as well as some CDs that [info]skmo gave me, and a postcard she sent me that says "Le Merde" on it.

To the left of the monitor, there's a Pema Chodron book; my Spanish lessons workbooks; several copies of the latest issue of the Bear Deluxe (want one? let me know and I'll send it to you!); a list of the known Dablings; a collection of Portuguese colonial stamps from the 60s that I bought at a garage sale; a red stainless steel water botle with an orange sticker on it that says, uh, "hedda"; a CD of Gidon Kremer's version of Piazzolla's Maria de Buenos Aires; and a starry box/lamp-stand that contains various forgotten items.

Above my desk, there are two pieces of art, a "memory box/landscape" and a clock whose numbers are drifting around its face in a dream-hallucination.

Below my desk, in various piles and configurations, are a stack of old day-planners and journals; blank paper; various german/english and spanish/english dictionaries; a Hebrew alphabet stamping set that I've never found a use for; some Passover Haggadot; a large stack of library books and movies; and a pile of magazines, which I stopped reading three months ago and am now wondering if I'll ever be able to catch up (New Yorker, Tikkun, In These Times, NYRB, etc..).

On the floor around my desk are two broken ipods (I dropped one of them yesterday at Sheridan's, killing it), a box of coins, and a pin that says "Stop staring at my boobs."

Passover, uh, service books. Songs, instructions, readings, prayers...

Shrimp is yuk. Forbidden under Jewish dietary laws (which just means that I didn't grow up eating them), and not something I want to eat anyway.

Back in highschool I used to use an exaggerated bass to say:

Stop looking at my breasts >:(

Maybe it's a gay thing.

Now that you've cleaned your room, i can bring Marjorie and Lelanie Dabling over (they're full dablings, not halfs like some of them). You know they hate messes. They've both just gotten home from Switzerland! Maybe we'll pile alll the girls in and come down another weekend.

How awfully exciting life with the Dablings is! I can barely keep up. Thank god there's a journal for these things!

I hope Lelanie will have gotten rid of her typhoid fever before you drive down with her. Her constant coughing gets on my nerves, not to mention her boils.

awesome! i know it wont matter but i have to pretend that there's some way i can end up not having to pay for repairs, even if it's on some random quantum wavelength. ive had good luck lately - i didnt have to pay for a new phone, etc, but i feel shaky about this one.

i know you've been curious about your stamps and i heard some people on my bus talkin about a stamp collector's convention...at the place for conventions, the convention center, this very weekend. perhaps you could find someone there to tell you they're worth millions. :j

yay! thanks! that might be just the ticket.

i'm sorry about last night. i've been horribly burned out and i haven't had much energy for anything except eating snacks and junk food. yesterday was a particularly difficult day. i was going to call you today and explain.

what are you doing on sunday? patti smith is playing The Bite from seven to eight-thirty for, like, six bucks.

i had a dream last night that you were a buffalo. you looked exactly like an average buffalo except you had your blue eyes. you were eating some long grass and meandering towards a stand of tall pine trees. it was pretty and the light was from fall.

I don't know much about buffalo (except their hair falls out in clumps, making them spectacularly un-vain creatures), but it is entirely possible that these strange lumbering beasts are my animal spirit doppelgangers.

i love you and miss you!
