Packing Up the Office

Spike and Giles... Together at Last

I am back from C2E2. Back from Mo*Con. Two new releases are debuting shortly, and I’ve got more in the hopper — but my free time is now occupied with packing, working out (after airport debacle starting a running program titled “YOUR CONNECTION IS IN 15 MINUTES”), and not getting burned by the day star. (Also, sending “Thank Yous” and other manners of social importance, for I am pre-occupied with many things that have nothing to do with the human space, but everything to do with story-based obsessions.)

To make light of this move, which requires going through my books and comics and games and toys and important worldly possessions? I shall post pictures of THINGS IN MY OFFICE.

To be super-timely… This poster of the Millennium Falcon has graced my walls since I first HAD a personal space to write. Yes, this is the original Star Wars Insider poster from longer-than-I-care-to-admit-ago.

1993 Star Wars Insider Poster

I have many other things on my walls, but as I am lazy with Real LifeTM matters, decals allow me to avoid this thing called “painting.” Keith Haring is one of my favorite artists, and I picked up some wall decals from IKEA a few years back. Here are some iterations that are currently available for sale: Apartment Therapy’s Keith Haring Decal Recs. I can, however, vouch that IKEA’s Wall Decals do in fact stick. The space invaders kinda rock; although I’d like to see Tim Burtonesque scrolls on my walls.

That’s it for today. But yes, the next few months are FLASH! WHOA-OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

    Mood: I’m back in the saddle again.
