Today’s BlogFodder asks for 11 objects in your immediate vicinity.
The sad thing is, I could quite honestly take the easy route out and give “Eleven empty Dr. Pepper cans” as my answer. Good thing that more housecleaning is on the schedule for tonight.
- My camera, waiting for me to empty out the last round of shots.
- A stack of pictures from Prairie from our last trip to visit her family in Woodland.
- A Rush Hour DVD that I need to watch to see if it’s scratched badly enough to be unwatchable.
- An ESPN keyring that I got from Chilkoot Charlie’s bar in Anchorage (this amuses me, because in true sterotypical geek fashion, I couldn’t care less about sports, and because ‘Koots was one of my least favorite hangouts).
- A novelty cigarette lighter shaped like a penguin that I saw at 7-11 and couldn’t pass up.
- A stack of CDs that, for one reason or another, I’ve discovered haven’t been ripped into my .mp3 collection yet.
- A stuffed penguin from Prairie that sits on top of one of my computer monitors, keep watch over all I do.
- A printed copy of the W3C’s CSS Level 2 specification, which I’ve actually read cover-to-cover.
- Beginning PHP4, which one of these days I’ll actually start digging through so I can learn a bit more about what I can do with PHP on my website.
- My checkbook, which these days I use only to pay rent with each month.
- Clear packing tape that hasn’t been put away since I was mailing DVDs out to the world.
Fascinating, isn’t it?
