Filler: Words That Go Between Picture Posts

[chronographia]

i realized today exactly how much of a nonfunctional adult i really am. taxes omg taxes today. or rather, i watched in a state of bewildered confusion as someone in a nicely designed green office filled out my taxes for me, and then i paid for the service. ummmmm. yes. i've grown up rather sheltered, and have been allowed to dwell in art-school escapism for far too long.

bless the people in the nicely deisgned green offices.

why do i understand economics and banking, but such basic parts of filling out little computer clicky forms for my taxes utterly elude me? at anyrate, i am informed that there is money. and it will be sent to me.

i made lime cheesecake tonight.

there are no more buckminster fuller stamps to be had at the post office. this is disheartening because i like bucky and was looking forward to putting him on an envelope.

i need new musical distractions. suggestions?

List everything that's on your computer desk. I know we all have messy desks, but try to get everything. You can tell a lot about a person from their clutter.



i have a separate desk for projects, which is upholding nature's law of abhorring a vacccuum. my computer resides on a series of shelves from ikea, so the rundown for each shelf is as follows:

shelf no. 1

• 1 bondi blue imac
• 1 epson perfection 1660 scanner
• 1 apple pro keyboard
• 1 zip 250 external drive
• 1 zip disk in the drive, contains backups for all of my icons i've ever made among other things
• 1 apple usb mouse
• 1 faux persian rug mousepad, because it seems to make the mouse happy. rule 28 of graphic design: keep the computer happy.

• 2 letterpress postcards from anti_cyclone: the Buggre All This Bible one and the I'll Do It Later - It Takes A Long Time To Run Out Of Later one
• 1 small padded box containing my baby teeth also sits atop of my imac. some of the teeth have cracked in half due to age. look, it's just better you don't ask.
