My "Desk"

I wonder if Haruhi loves that mousepad on my "desk" too... This is my desk. Well this isn't really a desk per se, but it is where I have my computer and where I use it. I don't have a lot of figures on it like others that have posted on DannyChoo.com for the May 2009 "Your Desk" giveaway. I don't intend to participate because I have won the big one last time, so it doesn't seem right. Plus I have no chance anyway. ^^;

Anyway... this is my "desk" which consists of an old CRT monitor box with a bunch of phone books to prop up the flat screen monitor. Two stool from Ikea; one for the keyboard, one for the mouse. Another softer, footstool or footrest from Ikea that serves as a "chair". Not the best setup for a computer. Painful on my back, legs and my behind.

BUT if you look at the above setup. It looks great doesn't it? I have the Sony 53" TV as a second monitor. The video card in the computer is set up so that we can connect what's on the computer to the TV. So I can download the anime and then watch it on the big screen! Someone can also use the computer while I watch anime on TV. Very convenient.

This is how I watch most of TV shows like Smallville, Heroes and 24. I'm on the computer while I can peek over to the left to see what's going on in the episode. Though at times I don't really pay attention to the TV since I'm focused mostly on the computer, haha.

I wasn't planning to post the "desk" at home and was planning to repost my desk at the office... I took pictures of them already though. So instead of wasting it, here they are.

This is my Mac at work. Yes, it's an old CRT monitor... Haruhi serves as a reminder for me. Somehow it lost the effect now since I totally do it all the time now. I've added a few more figures compared to the last work desk post.

Close up of what's above the monitors. Two Gundams on the sides and Death the Kid with the Thompson sisters in the center as the new additions.

Lelouch, Suzaku and Illya adds to the crowd below.

I also have a PC for my work. I get to use a flat screen for this one because somehow I've killed 2 or 3 CRT monitors at this spot, heheh. My SOS Dan hat is not there permanently...

A closeup of the figures in front of the monitors. I also added a Soul Eater 2009 desktop calendar. Umm... there's this figure of a girl from Fate I added that I don't know the name right now... A little help? Kallen is a new addition and uhh... a Cinamoroll rolling stamp... We all needed stamps for our work recently, so I brought my own.

Seems like my desk at work looks better right? But it IS at work, so I have to make it as fun as possible. If I had a 53" TV at work and able to watch anime on it then it'd be perfect! Of course I wouldn't have any work done that way.....

My Workspace

My Mac workstation! This is the spot where I do most of my work. It's a very old Mac. It says PowerMac 9000 or something on the tower. I was going to be given a widescreen monitor, but the computer could not handle a widescreen resolution... Sad. Ramune bottle from Japan Powell Street Festival that my brother brought for me. It's glass, so I can't just throw it away. Most of the figures are duplicates that I get when I buy the random trading figures. They're listed below.

Close up of the figures on top of the monitor. From left to right: PSE Figure from Range Murata line, Li Shaoran from Tsubasa, Maya Ibuki from Evangelion, Hazuki from Tsukuyomi, Son Goku from Dragonball Z & something from Snow Fairy Sugar.

Close up of the figures on top of the desk. From left to right: Rikku from FF X, PSE Figure from Range Murata, Flay Allster from Gundam Seed, Lunamaria Hawke from Gundam Seed Destiny, KOS-MOS from Xenosaga, Illya from Fate/Stay Night, another PSE figure, Suzaku from Code Geass, and a bootleg Max Factory Haruhi Suzumiya that I use for note reminders. Yea, I guess if it's too good to be true, then it is.

I AM IRON MAN. Yeah, if I'm bored enough I play around with the Iron Man action figure and that "repulsor blast" actually shoots. Also an old desk calendar featuring the loli-rific Ichigo Mashimaro cast. It's on "Lost", but I can switch it to "Lunch", "Absent" or "On Vacation". The Clone Wars card is given to me by a co-worker.

My shelf. Calendar from Newtype and it's got quite a risque picture here... but so far no one complained ^^; Incredibles keychain, a Christmas gift from a co-worker and my Anime Evolution 2008 badge.

My PC workstation. Using Windows 2000 Pro... Explorer is slow as hell. Lacus, Tifa, and uh... sorry, somebody from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, but I don't know the name ^^; And my hat I got from Hobby Search. Love the design/logo but hate the style of cap that they used. This was taken after Halloween where I'm still using an orange wallpaper, art by Range Murata.

People at work give lots of souvenirs after they come back from vacation, so amongst Rei Ayanami and the angel are trinkets from around the world


The two mugs I got from Daiso for $2/each. This isn't their usual position, but it's a much better display. And um, yeah people borrow my highlighters and don't return it, thus the sign.
