Yes, it's my daily road to work! Ahem. We begin with this scene, which I usually see upon opening my eyes in the morning (as usual, click on pics for larger versions, though I'm not sure why you'd want to in this case).. [url=http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/ceiling_big.jpg][img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/ceiling_small.jpg[/img][/url] This is the ceiling of my bedroom. You can see the edges of the curtain on the left and an edge of the lighting fixture on the right. See that darker line on the left? That's mold. I swear, Korea has to be the moldiest place on earth. My parents (back in New Yawk) live next to a swamp, and after heavy rains the basement used to flood all the time. Yet I never saw a speck of mold. I don't think our neighborhood here is any wetter (although, in all fairness, it is a pretty damp neighborhood, especially during the unbearably muggy summers), yet we have to fight this unwinnable war on mold. Honestly, I think I would have a better chance of single-handedly winning the war on terror than the war on mold. Uh, anyway, this is my ceiling. I am now semi-awake. [url=http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/kitchen_big.jpg][img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/kitchen_small.jpg[/img][/url] I have now gotten up, and I am preparing to wander out of the bedroom and into the kitchen area (we don't have a living room). Notice how one of the flourescent bulbs is out. I didn't actually notice this until after I took the picture. I guess I'll have to change that one of these days. Or not. We've gone long enough without it and no one has noticed until now. [url=http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/wc_big.jpg][img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/wc_small.jpg[/img][/url] Still only semi-awake at this point, I stumble into the bathroom, brush my face, and splash some cold water on my teeth. After waking up, I go back and do things the right way. [url=http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/mask_big.jpg][img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/mask_small.jpg[/img][/url] This is the mask dude that sits on the sliver of wall in between my bedroom and my study. I got him in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I have a thing for masks and nifty-looking stuff you can hang on walls. I exchange greetings with the mask and then venture into... [url=http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/study_big.jpg][img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/study_small.jpg[/img][/url] My study. As you can see, the view from my study is very... green. Especially during the unbearably muggy summers. Did I mention that the summers here are unbearably muggy? [url=http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/workplace_big.jpg][img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/pow/76/workplace_small.jpg[/img][/url] Finally I arrive at my rather messy workplace. I only have one monitor at the moment (and a CRT at that) because my LCD died, even though it wasn't even two years old. When the LG guy came to take a look at it, he said that the LCD unit itself was gone, which meant that we might as well buy a new monitor. So the LCD is sitting beneath the desk swathed in bubble wrap, waiting for whatever the future has in store for it. Anyway, this is where the magic happens. On screen is a pamphlet I'm translating (actually finished up this morning) for a cultural festival. Not my usual work, but that's what I happened to be doing today. Exciting stuff, huh? These photos weren't taken on the actual journey from my bed to my desk (a total of about a dozen arduous paces, if you include the detour to the bathroom), as it's usually dark when I get up. Except during the unbearably muggy summers, when we get this gray half-light before the sun rises over the mountains. ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/4837]Cell 270[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/5689]Sig Rotator[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/22173]the Fellowship of Sup[/url] [small](Edited by [internallink=2031]Suho1004[/internallink] on 08-02-2005 11:22)[/small] Loading...
