I’ve been so busy playing catch up with everything else in life that I really haven’t gotten around to posting anything of substance since we returned from NOLA. That, and I’m still catching up with the blogs I follow.
StevieB asked to see everyone’s DVD collection. So here you go:
(click to see the library up close, if you dare…)
That’s our DVD/Blu-Ray collection. Mixed in with a more traditional form of entertainment: books!
Obviously this picture doesn’t include the (currently) 3 terabytes of movies and television series I have digitally stored on my computer, but who really wants to see a picture of my computer?
And before you ask, yes, the bookshelves are jutting out in to the middle of the room. My desk is located behind it at the moment. We’re toying with splitting the office into a closet and library, and the bookshelves are located on the line where the wall would be for the closet.
And as for the strange floating shape attached to the wall? The house has an unusually designed fireplace system. At least I think it’s unusual. The fireplace runs through all four rooms in the original part of the house, and then connects in the attic. From what we can tell, the two downstairs rooms originally had potbelly stoves in them. We’re not sure about the upstairs. The fireplace itself is currently unusable, so we covered the existing brickwork when we remodeled the rooms.
Here’s a simple front-view of the house and how the fireplace runs.
Weird, no?
Until next time...
I think you should keep your desk/bookshelf layout. That way nobody can catch you jacking off to Internet porn.
I don’t have a computer at that desk. It’s entirely used just for paperwork. The only desktop computer we have is currently in the cubbyhole area under the stairs in the living room.
That is a odd chimney design. It’s actually an exhaust system! … kind of cool. This weekend I finished ripping my entire CD collection (yes, I live life on the edge!) so that I may get rid of them all. I did the same to my DVD collection last month.
This past summer I donated all my VHS, which really opened up a lot of space. A little at a time so that some day I may downsize to roughly 800 square feet. Ha! We shall see.
I judge men on how many Calvin and Hobbes books they own. You have what looks like the full collection. Good going, Sir.
Oddly enough, I do the same. Both with Calvin and Hobbes and any book by Douglas Adams.
I even have a few repeat copies and some of the compendiums that contain duplicate content, but I keep those at the tattoo studio.
Yeah, it does look unusual. But it gives the room character. We almost have similar tastes in movies.
