    Why does he have so many tvs? Do people really argue that much over what to watch when he has these posh "dinner parties"?

    Obviously each game console must have it's own big screen tv.

    It's so he can offer different genres of 'entertainment' at his 'dinner parties' - gonzo, twink barebacking, rape r/p etc.

    Ha ha ha! Stale, why do you still have so many TVs in your living area?

    I don't anymore


    the 56" is in the bedroom


    and I haven't used that 42" plasma in at least 3 months, if not 4. It just sits there.

    Next time I visit I'm taking it. I figure that after a few more months of you being there enough shit has piled up where I can start stealing from you like I always wanted.

    I think I like that style. The only thing I have ever seen is the ones for old movie posters about Alcatraz, or that old Guiness poster with the bird and the man with big noses.
    Also Metropolis and The Rocketeer. I'm pretty sure the style falls under Art-Deco.

    Oh man, I would kill for a sweet Rocketeer poster in my living room.

    My living room is always a mess though. The kid is 6 months old so I just put some blankets down and he rolls and crawls all over. So usually there are 3 blankets and a crapload of baby toys everywhere.

    actually, thats exactly what the setup was before moving here.


    The 360 was on one, the ps3 on another, the wii on the third.

    Thats when we had two living rooms and a game room.




    I kind of miss that setup.

    if it's just one new thing i usually end up setting it on top of everything else in roughly its alphabetical home and then redo everything once i get five or six such floaters

    Once I tried organizing about ten years' worth of National Geographics. The pile worked about through 2001, now it looks something like what was described above

    My sister has some posters of NYC and Grand Central and other things in her place to remind her of home. I think my brother's only piece of wall art is a print of "Nighthawks" by his dinner table, and it's about 4 inches, not including a thick black border around it. You can't see it unless you're eating, which is pretty smart, if you think about it. His DVDs are in sideways milk crates, and his entertainment center looked like a collapsible picnic table.

    I only hope I have their ingenuity if/when I move out. But as a jobless student currently living back at home, I feel like I've lost a few years on them.

    Our apartment now is smaller than any of the houses I've lived in in the UK, but somehow we've managed to store so much more

    My apartment is like 650 square feet has a completely disproportionate amount of closet space. The bedroom is also kind of big.

    I'd rather have a bigger living room - if I can clean it up here and get some pictures you could see why.

    Do you people ever just go crazy and toss out everything when you move? cause I'm trying to figure out what I'd do with all my shit if I moved out. My friend says sell it all on the CraigsList, and be sure to include "interesting trades considered", but I'd just be afraid of getting gypped. I have no sense of value regarding how much something is worth.

    It's probably why I suck at TPIR.

    When I moved I threw out about 95% of what I owned. Pretty much everything out of a 3500 sq ft house.


    I filled a 20-yard dumpster because no charities would come pick up furniture and household goods. So, it all went in the landfill.


    Hey, I tried.

    The missus and I have the greatest coffee table in the world. It is huuuuge and stout, most likely of Dwarven design. If there was an earthquake or nuclear explosion, you would be safe under this thing. We actually stand/walk/dance/jump on it all the time, since the floor is more likely to give than it.

    What I'm trying to say is, our coffee table is awesome.
    Except for stubbing toes D:

    You're considering throwing it away just because you don't want to take it, but are afraid you'll get ripped off if you sell it via craigslist. Thats a pretty silly thing to worry about man.

    on the rare occasion that my room requires cleaning I'll just fill and entire garbage bag with shit that I don't care about anymore and throw it all in the bin

    I did it so frequently for a while that I don't have anything left to toss out

    this is a great time for this thread!

    I'm just about finished redecorating my bedroom.

    room1.jpg

    Here is my new desk, you can see my Mac Mini sitting ontop of those baller studio speakers

    room2m.jpg

    This is where the magic doesn't happen enough. Note the signed, framed Penny Arcade "Day at the Beach" poster, it's only a place holder until I get a nice piece for that feature wall.

    room3d.jpg
    My new bookshelves, taking the place of the ugly, old busted shelves I just threw out. These ones are half as deep and make the room feel so much bigger. That little spot on the floor where the shoes are is, as of next week, going to be occupied by this

    photoeqk.jpg

    Which opens up and I'm gonna put my shoes and bags in it.

    I've moved at least once a year for the past eight years. I throw a good amount away but I've also retained quite a lot.

    When I came over to the US I thought really seriously about what I'd have to take as obviously I had to pay to ship it all over. I was stern with myself and gave away all the books I didn't think I'd re-read (about 120 or so), but as you can see from our shelves (90% of the stuff on the white shelves is mine) I kept quite a few books and DVDs. My justification was it'd take more effort and money to try and sell things and then re-buy them in the states than it would to pay for the shipping.

    I also brought over a nice set of plates, which fortunately didn't break, a box of important personal papers, and about half a box worth full of small, miscellaneous items (things like incense and incense burner, jewellery, photo box, etc.). But notebooks/sketchbooks, various small ornaments I'd received in Christmas stockings or as presents, stuff that had little monetary value and was bulky, went.

    For about 180 DVDs, 200 books, and the above mentioned items, I paid ~$500 shipping, which I didn't think was at all bad. The price of a flight, basically.

    I get the idea, but I had literally one objective for today other than not dying and that was to clean my apartment. It's almost 10:00 and I just finished the first part (shredding junk mail and sorting out stuff I can recycle).

    Step two is cleaning my fucking coffee table. There's like 4 soda cans and a mountain of papers on it.
