Stuff and Nonsense

George Carlin once remarked, "A house is just a place to keep your stuff." He also said, "It's the place you put your stuff while you're out, getting more stuff."

I woke up at four this morning, and decided to sort out my stuff, starting with the discs. Here they are, half sorted, on my laptop desk.


You'll notice there's no room for the laptop, which is on another desk.

Which is next to the third desk,

which no longer has room for the computer, because there's too much stuff on it. The computer now sits on a small, forth desk. With some stuff on top.

Incidentally, have you ever worked with a laptop on your actual lap, when there wasn't a desk available? Anyway, here are some of my shelves, which have lots of stuff on them.



And some more.



Oh, and this is the stuff on my bed,

put there while moving stuff off my floor.


Now, this piece of stuff

is the new, low cost, high-ish resolution camera that I first used to photograph the other stuff. But it absolutely refused to upload the pictures, So I used the old, expensive, low resolution affair instead. And the moral of this story is, don't throw away your old stuff, because half the new stuff doesn't work.

This is just one room, and I haven't shown you what's under the bed, in the sink or in the drawers. There's 11 other rooms in this house, so can you guess what's in them? I'll give you a clue: three of them are almost entirely given over to stacks of cardboard boxes.
