>>>>>The kids live in the heart of darkness<<<<<
It probably depends on your point of view. I was wondering what other people would think if they saw the kids' room. Maybe I should take a picture with the digital camera and post it on the web somewhere, and we have it halfway cleaned out. I think I'd rather clean out the Augean Stables. Maybe if I used a pitchfork turned around, and tried to clean with the handle, it would go easier?
They have Sega, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Atari, Game Boy, Game Gear, color Game Boy, virtual Pikachus, Sega CD, Sega 32X, of course games for all the above, none of which seem to stay in a box; a TV, with a VCR, and tapes, none of which stay on a shelf; a computer, with maybe 100 CD-ROM games, all of which seem to be strewn everywhere; a scanner and a color printer, which generates papers which are all over the place; chemistry sets, microscopes, a telescope, a couple of guitars, recorders, penny whistles, model rockets, model airplanes, models of science fiction stuff, plastic soldiers, WarHammer models, war games, board games, plastic models of dinosaurs, plastic skeletons, cards, dice, poker chips, marbles, balls of every size, shape and description, kites, boogie boards, tennis rackets, skateboards, magic sets, rock collections, coin collections, personal memorabilia, and books, books, books. Every Dilbert book, every Garfield book, every Calvin and Hobbes book, science fiction, fantasy, Penn & Teller, Star Wars, astronomy, shelves and shelves of books, comic books, and game books. Magazines, like Nintendo Power and Disney Adventures. And art supplies: water colors, oil paint, crayons, pastels, markers, colored pencils, chinese calligraphy ink and brushes; plaster strips for making masks; feathers, felt cloth and sequins for making objets; modeling clay and tools for same; the mind reels.
I repeat, "the horror, the horror." |
