Thursday Thirteen: 13 Objects on My Desk

6/12/2012

Ciao a tutti! Thanks to a busy day yesterday, and preparing for a brief visit from a guest today, I hadn't quite prepared anything for this week's Thursday Thirteen. So here's a glimpse into the chaos of my surroundings, at the moment, instead.

Please allow me to present to you:

Thirteen Objects on my Desk!

1) A Concise English Desk Reference Dictionary.
Picture
2) A 3-Disc Collectors' Edition of Spaced.

3) My eyeglasses cleaning cloth.
4) My camera.
5) A packet of tissues. ('tis the season for runny noses, eh?)
6) My old day planners from last year and the year before. I have no idea why.
Picture
7) A book bag with this image and saying on it.
(It says: A cat would never sleep on a mediocre book.)

8) My Kindle ereader.
9) My denim purse.
Picture
10) My Paddington Bear keychain (from London).

11) My medicine for my itchy skin rash.
12) My mobile phone.
Picture
13) A copy of 501 Italian Verbs. I really need to study. ...sigh...

And there you go. A fascinating glimpse into this writer's life.







I sincerely hope you've enjoyed it.












It's form of anthropology, in a way, I suppose.

















Maybe not. I dunno.










It's getting hard to think, as it's cold now and I want a cup of tea and a book.









Or maybe getting active is the best solution?


















Hockey, anyone?

Ciao for now!

Love your list. I wish I could even see the top of my desk. I am not very organized and prefer to write while sitting on my couch.

Thanks, Caridad - but believe me, my desk is anything but organized. These selections are from the top layer of stuff. LOL!

Sadly, 8 out of any 13 desktoppers I named would be coffee cups...

I think those are called "Paperweights", Ron.

Hey, check it out! A Doctor Who mug! :D

Cool! I love these. It's amazing what we keep beside us, right?

It is amazing, indeed! And a little disheartening, too. LOL!

Oh wow ... Paddington Bear. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. I used to love reading those books when I was a child. Good memories! Happy Thursday, Kimberly!

Interesting - maybe. Varied? More likely. LOL! Thanks for dropping by! :)

Maybe I should try a denim purse next. These fake leather ones don't hold up at all.

I've had two denim purses from Walmart (of all places) in the last eight years. They last a long, long time - especially compared to synthetic leather (or real leather, for that matter).

Then again, I'm pretty brutal on purses.

I'm dying with that hockey picture. BLESS YOU! I think I might steal this idea for next week's TT... My desk will be cluttered enough by then. ;)

Why, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Shawna! :) And it's a fun idea, when you have strange stuff on your desk. Heh.

I don't know whether I'm alarmed or excited over that photo. It's a fine line! The oddest thing on my desk is a handmade golden crown with the word "Words" on it.

Go with excited. I know I did. ;) And please-please-please tell me you wear the crown when you write! :D

I wonder what it is with the planners. That intrigued me second of all! The photo at the end intrigued me most of all!

I gotta tell ya - I'm not really sure what is about the day planners. I tend to collect that sort of stuff and I don't know why. LOL! It was a rather intriguing photo, no? ;)

I love #6 because my desk is covered with crap and I have no idea why.

PS You're the first/only one who has made me sorry that the NHL season is in jeopardy.

It's good to know that I'm not alone - and hey, take heart: That's the Great Britain National Team from the Olympics! :)

I find your book bag the most interesting thing on your desk. That must be very nice to have with the saying on it. And oh... hockey. I've never seen that kind before. Thanks for sharing a photo ;p

Thanks! My hubby gave that to me as a gift a couple of years ago. I love it! I bring it to the US every year to use as my shopping bag in bookshops. :)

As for the photo - it was my pleasure to share. Heh. :)

(I'm not sure if my comment got in) I was saying I found your book bag with the saying on it the most interesting object on your desk. And thanks for sharing that hockey photo. I haven't seen that kind of hockey before ;p
