I have been exceptionally busy this week on two fronts. Not only did my classes start up again (quite a hassle), I also have the new Harvest Moon to keep me busy. There's probably aren't going to be too many posts until I get settled down. All I can offer you today is a few pictures of my apartment that I took for my family. Enjoy! (Click pictures to enlarge)
Where I spend most of my time. I used to have a TV on the wooden entertainment center, but I had since purchased a new one that wouldn't fit. Now, it is the resting place for several of my gaming systems.
My other favorite place. The home of my computer and about half of my library.
My eating table. With a delightful view of the window and TV, this place is fantastic for the epilogue to a Cooking with Jimbo episode.
This area is zoned for food heating procedures. One important note is the startling lack of oven. Clearly, I do not bake, only fry.
View one of my sleeping area. This view shows my makeshift closet and manga collection. Not much to say, really.
My bed and the remainder of my library. This is probably the closest to being "made" that my bed has ever been since I moved here.
A final, all-encompassing view. It's a small place, but it does what it needs to, which is protect my stuff from the elements. Oh, and I have a bathroom, but it's a bit too small to get a good picture of it. I also didn't bother taking a picture of the laundry machine.
Until next time, Jimbo is on hiatus.
Well, I'm feeling a bit better. My nose is still stuffy and my muscles are tired, but otherwise I am functional. I am now 100% capable of hobbling around the house as if I aged fifty-three years in a day's time. Hey, I live alone, so I'm allowed to be melodramatic. To be fair to my tired muscles, I did sleep almost three-quarters of the day away. About half of that fraction was asleep on the couch, which is great for a chiropractor's retirement fund. I actually had to break down and stomach a Tylenol just to sleep more (this time in my bed). I hate taking pain medicine. It's like admitting defeat.
What is the deal with the magazines in waiting rooms? I had to go to the dentist not too long ago, and there were tons of magazines. The only problem was that they were primarily women's magazines. There were shelves of Good Housekeeping (an oxymoron), Parenting (one thing: cattle prod), Cosmopolitan (how to turn on your man: get naked), and Everyday Food (pizza). I only survived by finding an old, wrinkled copy of Time magazine from a year back (Huckabee's gonna make a comeback). In hindsight, I realized that this was true for most of the waiting rooms I ever visited. I suppose I can understand the reasoning. The longest waits would likely be for mothers bringing their kid(s), hence the copies of Parenting magazine designed to arm them with more weapons in their psychological war with the children. All I am asking, and here I am asking nicely, is for more magazines oriented to the Y chromosome. Maybe some Field & Stream (balance out that Parenting crap with a healthy dose of gun training), GQ (fashion tips!), Golf Digest (most boring magazine in the world), and Game Informer (ZOMG, Fallout 3!!!!11!!one!!). There wouldn't need to be any pornography, of course, simply because it's hard to burp the worm quietly in a dental waiting room. It would probably be better if the pamphlets next to the magazine rack weren't so depressing. Apparently bad breath is one of the first stages of death, and the only way to prevent it is to brush, floss, use mouthwash, and die anyway. Also, to the TV companies, could you do something about daytime cable? It sucks!
What follows is a list of just a couple of my favorite books. Before I begin, let me just write briefly about what I omitted. First, I removed all of my humor books, which would otherwise dominate this list. George Carlin, Lewis Black, and especially Dave Barry was excluded. I highly recommend all of their books, mind you. I also excluded all of the books from my favorite author, Michael Crichton. Lately his books have been lacking in quality, but he's still great. The list is also not in any particular order. I tried ordering them by how much I enjoyed them, but failed. I just listed them randomly, but you can make whatever order out of it you wish.
