Look down..

[Tricky]

.. and turn your head. Tell us what else is on your desktop next to the keyboard. Woohoo! It's crazy.

- empty 'Congratulations!' mug
- tea sieve with Verveine in it
- three dictionaries (Dutch-English, Dutch-Norwegian, Dutch)
- bag of tea leaves
- bottle opener
- scissors
- Nivea skin lotion
- antihistamines
- cloth brush
- belt sander
- calculator
- post-its
- soldering iron
- AAA batteries
- box of Sony CD-R audio discs
- pocket guide to our minor program
- epoxy syringe, with dried container
- black comb
- bandaids
- printer with on top a newspaper and an empty plate
- a thick wad of cash I got from Dragon Wench for not making fun of her for buying Oblivion

I looked at this pile a minute ago when that weird movie Apollo 13 suddenly crossed my mind. What kind of insipid contraptions could a room full of MIT graduates come up with if I gave them an hour?

[Claudius]

- pieces of paper (small)
- business card
- coins
- sharpie (permanent marker)
- coffee cup
- discs
- game manuals
- spoon (I'm dirty!)
- top to a juice bottle

[Lady Dragonfly]

You forgot your meds today?

Alright, here is what I see next to my keyboard right now: a few unopened letters that will remain unopened, four game boxes, a 'Financial Footnote' that tells me that I should compare my funds to their benchmarks, whatever that means, a Seiko digital alarm clock, a bottle of cognac and a cup of coffee.

I want my share of dough because I kept DW's secret up until now.

@Tricky,
lol! Er... I always said I would give Oblivion a try once the GOTY edition was cheap and there were plenty of mods to deal with the excessive dumbing down


My desk area consists of a 3D (non electronic) address book, a couple of games, my son's Ipod box, computer speakers, a small replica of a Japanese Buddha, a miniature gargoyle and a variety of papers that need to be sorted.

@LD, it was no secret, anybody reading the Oblivion forum could have seen my posts on the game

It is true. I always type blindfolded there.

And, awww, I can't edit that minor error out of the poll.

[Kienan]

Hehe, great thread.

My desk is, miraculously, clean at the moment. There is nothing next to my keyboard. However, this is only because I came back from a LAN party yesterday and, while resetting up my computer, relocated my desk junk somewhere else.

Also, I love the roll-eyes emoticon, it's just so cute!

[DesR85]

Aside from a small stack of papers, I have a headset, a pair of speakers and a backup hard drive.

[Vicsun]

i don't have a desk - my laptop is on my lap, burning away any and all hope for future progeny.

[Moonbiter]

Home PC: To the right, a large stack of DVDs, two packs of tea. Some old photos that I scanned months ago, a spray can of gun-oil(?) a nail-clipper, the "Dawn of War" collector's pack, a dirty wine glass, two cd's with no markings.

To the left: A monster scanner. An empty wine bottle, more DVDs, a stack of papers, an antique beer-stein filled with pens and pencils, a book on trout-fishing, two shotgun shells, an amputated action figure of Aragorn with both arms chewed off, the "CS3 for Dummies all-in-one", some pieces of Lego.

Center: Keyboard, the worlds most humongous hand-made tea cup.

oh, and there a speakers everywhere.

It's only temporary Viscun, after 36 hours you're as good as new.

Looking down, I only see my laptop and my legs. I have a desktop computer both at the lab and at home, but at home I prefer lying comfortably in bed with my laptop.
