Thanks, JFS and Count. Soup and a song can make anyone feel better.
Here's what Link and I have going for our room at the moment:
I put a Muppet cast poster on our door. Every time Link looks at it, he sings "Memories".
In our room, the first thing you will probably notice is our wooden lofts for our beds. It now looks like we have two sets of bunk beds, though both sets have only the top bunk. We now have a whole lotta floor space. I have the left side of the room, Link has the right. I have utilized the underside of my bed for two bookshelves, both 13"w and 21" tall. Each has four shelves. The first unit contains my required literature (The Sun Also Rises, The Grapes of Wrath, The Catcher in the Rye, The Odyssey ) and an early draft of Link's autobiography, The Importance of Being an Attractive, Good-Looking and Handsome Pig . So far, at 12,297 pages, it is still a work in progress. The other shelving unit contains my Palisades collection (though, strangely enough, my Captain Hogthrob figure is missing).
Next to my shelves is a thirteen inch color television on a small stand. Under this stand is my Playstation 2. Link and I take turns playing Spider-Man 2 (by the way, if anyone ever wants to stop by and play, just let us know. We love having people over). I keep a box next to the television with a part of my DVD collection (only the necessities: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Boondock Saints, Kill Bill, Tombstone, Evil Dead, Indiana Jones and Star Wars trilogies, various Disney classics and of course, my Muppet DVD collection). The last bit of space I use for clothing. I have to stack my clothes there because Link took up the entire closet (which is located to the extreme left when you first enter our room).
At the foot of my loft is our computer desk. It is a basic brown desk with drawers that we keep knick knacks in. I used to leave my laptop on the desk but had to hide it away after Link got peanut butter all over my keyboard. We now have a cheap, generic-brand PC that gets the job done with web research, report writing and checking out Muppet Central. Under the desk is a dictionary, thesaurus, rhyming dictionary, almanac and Writer's Market book.
At the end of the room, right in the middle, is a small table where we keep a hot plate and microwave, and a mini fridge underneath. We keep our groceries on this table (you will normally find cans of Spaghettios w/ meatballs and Swiss Cake Rolls here).
Under Link's bed is two beanbag chairs and two fold-up stadium chairs. This is where we hang out and watch movies (the only ones we ever seem to agree on are the Disny flicks. Link cries at the sad parts. Of course, the sad parts for him are his laments that Prince Charming got cast in the role instead of him. I explain to him that it is all animation but the discussion always goes over his head). Link has sheepskin blankets and an extra fluffy pillow (wait a tic...I can't believe this...I just found my Captain Hogthrob figure under his pillow!)
Me: "Link, you took my figure!"
Link: "I couldn't help myself, there's just something about it."
M: "Could it be that it's an action figure of you?"
L: "Yeah. That's it."
M: "Well, get your own. You can get it extra cheap just about anywhere online."
L: "Ouch. That's hitting below the belt!"
Sorry about that.
All that is left to describe are the walls. I have my Muppet posters, my 2004 Muppet calendar (which I often find has been turned back to April), and my 8x10's on my side of the room, and Link keeps his Pigboy Pigmate 2004 calendar on his side of the room.
That's our room for you. As I said earlier, we both like having people over so if you ever feel like stopping by, please feel free!
