The mind tends to wander enough during finals week. It's so vogue to put off studying that you have to do till the last possible day. But combine that with the restlessness already present during a late night cram-fest (the exam's on Thursday, so not a real cramfest), and you have these photos I took around the apartment.
Stuff around the house right now:1. Around any finals week you'll find scribblings on the mirror. Not the ramblings of an axe murderer..per-se. Equations...maps...pictures..just stuff that someone (me) has to memorize at this very moment. Not having a big whiteboard (as there are many littering the office) leads me to write on any glossy surface available to me.
2. To say dishes go by the wayside is an understatement.
3. Chinese take out and/or pizza begins to accumulate in the fridge as the act of cooking becomes a major thorn in one's side. I usually go the pizza route, just cause it lasts longer.
4. I've turned my personal laptop almost completely into a work laptop. It works out well for commuting by bike and especially during these hot hot hot summers. I need to put in a request for an actual work laptop though so that this may go back to being a party laptop. For...laptop parties. I've also found that having multiple monitors can severely diminish one's productivity. Having this one screen is not only awesome looking for it's elegance, but is also very functional.
Though it doesn't compare to someone's massive Apple behemoth. Not naming names Garry. Though frankly, a screen as big as that would scare me more than arouse me.
5. It's the gang of mini figurines I've accumulated since the start of college. Their poses will vary throughout the year, ranging from promiscuous to not so promiscuous.
6. We(Thomas, technically) owns an xBox 360. Too bad every game we have for it is severely flawed in one way or another. Halo 3 is NOT FUN. It's singleplayer is trivial, and its multiplayer matchmaking system is
INFURIATING.
7. If you see this cat in your house, you have to ask, why is James living at my house.
8. I recently came into owning a complete Shimano 6400 Ultegra grouppo, with wheelset and crankset. Unfortunately, for lack of time/energy, these wonderfully functional and cosmetically pleasing road bike parts go by the wayside.
9. I recently came to own these very very orange shoes. The surprising part is that they're Steve Maddens! They also give me a 1 inch lift. That's right bitches...5'8".
10. My latest of bikes. No name, just the 'other' Trek. Shimano 300/400 mixed Exage group. It's my commuter and she does a fine job of filling that role in my life. I'm sad to say I've logged more miles on this bike than Betty for the last month. Sigh.
11. Thanks to Mr. Mykytyn (younger Mykytyn's pop), we now have reading material of slightly higher class than the regular Maxim...or Cosmo...You can find stacks of them here in the living room, and in the downstairs bathroom.
