Saturday Stuff

On my bedside table:

iPod
3 Moleskines
3 Sharpie pens (blue, black & red)
1 regular Sharpie - (metallic silver) (you NEED a metallic silver Sharpie)
1 heavy Faber-Castell pen
2 cheap ball points
1 pencil
1 container of orange scented hand cream (what? it smells nice)
3 books - Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie, Juno by Ted Barris and John Adams by David McCullough
1 Vtech cordless phone
1 crochet needle (huh?)
1 Nikon Zi6 (thanks Amy!)
1 Lego pistol
Benjamin Moore paint chips

A Saturday post, I know. Anyway, if you're here you get to check out this cool picture.


It's a city made of staples. Cool, huh?

  3. Under other circumstances I would say the crochet needles were weird, but no kidding, there's a pair on my nightstand as well (no kidding).

  4. I have wound care equipment, incense, and a clock on one night stand, and diabetic testing materials, 5 books (How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the first Chopping
    Block collection, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a Bloom County special, and a book on Voodou), and an ink pen on the other. W00t!

  6. Lots of pens! I think I'll purchase a metallic silver Sharpie today. :-)

    Benjamin Moore paint is the best, and what bedside table would be complete without a Lego pistol, or any other Lego piece? Have a great Saturday!

  7. Looks like a post to steal. Also, you're keeping the new video camera in the bedroom? I may have to bribe Connor to get hold of that little gem.

  8. All I can say is Connor and Liam must not have the same fascination with Sharpies that my kids do because that would be a recipe for A DISASTER OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS in my house. And yes, it would be so bad as to require all caps. Those suckers have to be kept under lock and key around here.

  9. Nothing better than a bunch of journals and some really good pens.
    Happy weekend! :)

  10. Sharpies are the coolest. It's like a drug.. once you use them you cannot stop.
    I fell in love with the extra fine clicky ones. Makes me all giddy.
    Not sure how a metallic silver one would make me feel.

    Lego pistol is mandatory for maximum bedside safety.

  11. You make the baby teeth in my bedside table seem common place.

  12. John Adams has moved from bedside table to the floor. (to put a fan on a couple of weeks ago).

    That is one cool stable city.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Although the sharpies kinda make your posts make that much more sense, why did they make you make a city out of staples? Also, is your office actively searching for the culprit jacking the office supplies?

    Is there a reward for information?

    I mean..I'm just curious.

  14. Is the staple city made by this person?

  15. I Love the staple city! Also Silver Sharpies Rock!!! I have never had one I didn't love and use dry! I actually wrote an entire term paper in Silver Sharpie once... Then I turned it in because I though I had rewritten it... the teach laughed until she tried to read it then I had to rewrite.

  16. Do you have like a dining room table for a bedside table? How is it possible to fit that much stuff?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Can you actually see the table underneath all the writing tools?

    Just wondering...Sharpies in general are pretty much the best things evah though.

    ReplyDelete
  18. So, what exactly do you do with all that stuff while in bed?

    ReplyDelete
  19. a staple city? somebody has WAY too much time on his hands...

    ReplyDelete
  20. Love the staple city!!

    Why do you need moleskin by your bed?? That makes me very suspicious....

    ReplyDelete
  21. That is a kick arse city!!! Veddy cool. Now I'm off to figure out where the heck I've been to have been 5 posts behind on ye blog, sheesh!!!

    blessings!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wait...there is someone with an actual last name of Abercrombie?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Your bedside table must be a desk. I'd be picking things up off the floor on a regular basis.

    Cool staple city.

    ReplyDelete
  24. that is an amazing picture! and an awful lot of things beside your bed!!:)

    ReplyDelete
  25. The staple city is awesome! How clever!

    Pens, pens everywhere on your bed side table. I'm also a pen person, there has to be at least 100 around the house. But, alas, I only have a black Sharpie. I think I'll go look for other colors now . . .

    ReplyDelete
  26. The crochet needle is for writing invisible notes.

    Cool city scape indeed!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I get all that other stuff, but why, pray tell, do you have the Zi6 by your bedside? Hmmmmm? Inquiring minds want to know, sir!

    ;-)

  28. Still trying to break me with the "Amy chose me over anyone" Nikon thing, huh?

    Bastard....

    ReplyDelete
  29. That is so cool with the staples! I will have you and your sister linked in my next post, probably Sunday night!

  30. A metallic silver Sharpie is a must on any bedside table. I sign all my paintings with one.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Whoever made that staple city has way too much time on his hands. Yes, I'm assuming it's a man.

    And you need a Pentel Sign Pen. Just sayin'.

    ReplyDelete
  32. So you have kids and you keep Sharpies next to your bed? Isn't that just looking for trouble?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Been doing some late crocheting? You are really a bad ass.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Whoever made that city of staples stole some major office supplies from his job.

    ReplyDelete
  35. hey, is there a backstory to the Staple-City?

    that is SO cool! :-)

  36. The knitting needle is fascinating... my table also includes the hammer of justice...

    ReplyDelete
  37. That is a wicked cool picture. I love staples. I just put more in my stapler today, in fact.

    ReplyDelete
  38. That is a very cool picture.

    I love moleskin. That stuff rocks. (Uh...presuming you are talking about the stuff you use to prevent blisters - not the real skin of a mole.)

    ReplyDelete
  39. my oh my, some of you might just as well be my own imaginary friends...and well I LOVE IT...

    I think I have fixed the comments box again! shezzz
