I’ve moved since my last desk post, this one’s in a considerably smaller bedroom but fits neatly into the corner. External monitor isn’t always in use, so it’s nice to have it off the desk and able to sit on the floor when off (don’t look at the floor too much I know it’s messy). Lil mobile above my head while I work, Sun Ra is still taped to the wall.
I’m thinking about putting some shelves on the wall(s) to add storage and minimize clutter.
My office is a lot more exciting looking. The trunk at the foot of my bed belonged to my grandfather and I take it with me everywhere I move because it’s so sturdy/my dog Benny uses it to hop up and down from the bed because he gets scared jumping on the slippery wood floor lol. I actually nearly broke my toe stubbing it on the corner in the dark recently 🤡 Probably getting a new bed frame with a headboard soon… and a rug and new nightstands. Work in progress 🚧
I just quite like the way my desk looks with the Austin skyline in the background. It's by no means a clean desk, but I like it very much.
There is a target bag over the lamp because when I record videos for my YouTube channel, it acts as a light diffuser. And I just never take it off.
basement desk, but i’ve tried to jazz it up as much as i can. 80s garfield plushes on the floor, halloween posters on the wall, in-progress pop tab chainmail in the corner, double stereos, it’s definitely... a place to do things…
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
