The Tory Party

In My Roo-oo-oom…

My love interest got me a Webcam! When I took this photo to demonstrate the awesomeness of his gift, I experienced an unexpected snapshot of my living space:

• 1. Pearl Jam poster, circa 1992 — now half as old as I am
• 2. Rosary prop from film that I must now keep forever because there’s no proper way to part with it. Also have aspergillum and liturgical stole. Anyone need to do some sprinklin’?
• 3. USMC mink blanket from Korea? Not real mink. But real red and gold OO-RAH
• 4. “Beware of Dog” sign ironic
• 5. Nude painting from life drawing class I must now keep forever because there’s no proper way to part with it. Model has bizarre story about encountering a couple of teens defacing one that had somehow been discarded from the same class in which this one was made
• 6. Models of sets idling until portfolio day
• 7. River Run Film Festival 2006 refrigerator magnet
• 8. ALDI pit stick classy
• 9. Vintage Mickey Mouse coffee mug gift from art department partner in crime
• 10. Paint-By-Numbers Otter completed by Dad Hoke and described as one of the hardest things he’s ever had to do
• 11. Tiny table from love interest’s parents, from India by way of Bahrain. Must ask what it is for. At the moment I use it to put my iPod on so I don’t lose it
• 12. “Mari Muerta” wardrobe to be returned to the actress Friday, a full two months after shooting. Double classy

Since this photo I’ve since started… kinda… redecorating. Not with new acquisitions, because I’m about to graduate and anything that comes up the stairs just has to go back down in six months. But tidying and organizing, because I am totally almost thirty.

But the Pearl Jam poster stays.
