Post a Picture of the Real You.

I'm behind on the new incarnation of the series. I'll probalby wait for the series to find some reasonble change-over point (either by concluding, or changing Doctors), and catch up on DVD; I like to get it all at once. But I've caught a few of the new episodes, and have been impressed! I look forward to catching up on them all.

I actually like most of the Doctors; just takes me a bit to get used to each of them. I kind of ended up growing up on Tom Baker; he was the Doctor when I started watching, and I always just loved his crazy style.

I wish they'd release all of the series on DVD; dunno what this "every other random episode or so" is available mumbo jumbo is.

Good fortune,

I respect my more Spartan brethren (and uh, sistren? WTF is the right word here?). Many folks around me have a couple of monitors, keyboard, mouse, and maybe a pen and pad in their office, and that's all. To each his or her own.

AND, when it comes time to pack up and move (as we must do from time to time), I'm a bit jealous of the Spartan folks; takes me the better part of a day to pull down and pack up all of my crazy crap. Having so much crap in my offices (home or work) can be rather a pain in the ass; I like my workspaces, but they can be cumbersome.

Good fortune,

Icarus the Encumbered

Haha I am not very nostalgic although I am in denial. I think my 1st grade excercise books are still in a box at my Fathers house. But really I don't enjoy being surrounded by many loose objects.



Here is my desk taken just then:

As you can see I am not completely free of encumberence, though I am somewhat free of embellishment. Not that I am purporting a particular stance on the matter. To each his own as you say

Hey! I can see.... me! Or my avatar, whatever.

Your office reminds me of my brother's. Looks good! My computer area is relatively free of "embellishment" as well.

Looks too utilitarian for my taste.

But different strokes for different folks.

Sorry, but:

1) The only picture of myself that I have is on my driver's license, which I don't think I should post.

2) I don't have a digital camera, nor do I know anyone who would take my picture and give it to me.

3) If I did have a picture of myself, I wouldn't post it anyway, because that seems sort of scary to me. I don't know why, but it does.

Mademoiselle_Cafeine, what's that grated window beside you? Are you in POLITICAL PRISON down there?

Brazil is in the rain forest so that is likely to keep strange creepy bugs out.

I've never been to Brazil or anywhere else in South America, but in Central America the windows are covered with metal grates for the purposes of keeping burglars out.

No, I'm not in political prison.
Well, for those of you who are just a little bit uninformed, the rain forest is miles away from my home and those who live there are mostly native americans (which are around 0,2% of Brazil's population).
I live in a big city, not in the jungle (there's something about my city São Paulo), I live in the 12th floor of an apartment building, my apartment has huge windows, I'm a sleepwalker and I have a suicidal dog. Those are all the reasons for my grated window. Happy?

I wish I had a grate like that, built in. I had to install gates over my windows myself, for safety reasons.

I actually had to go back and re-look at that picture to see what everybody was so concerned about with the windows and such. Before, I was, um, too distracted by the foreground of the photo, and admit that I didn't even notice the strange grates.

Good fortune,

They weren't built in. The grates were installed by my mom, they are made of thick nylon strings.

mademoiselle caffeine, you look really pretty.

and gwen, i like your new avatar. i was pondering for quite some weeks to offer you to ink and color your old one but you somehow fixed that yourself.

Ditto that! Very pretty.

And thanks for humoring us with the explanation. I get curious about all sorts of silly things.



Thanks! I didn't make it myself (except shaving it down), but I really like it, too. And wow... that's really sweet of you to think of offering something so nice. It made me happy to read that.
