Canya tell whut it is, yet?

So iMuslim did this post where she took some pretty cool macro shots of stuff in her room, and because I'm all about the cool (and also all about the lazy-blog-updates, and stealing other people's ideas), I thought I'd copy her!

Most of these are pretty obvious, but hey, try to guess what all this junk is before I tell you why not. This should be made considerably harder by the fact that the photography kind of sucks - I can't remember if I remembered to switch on macro for all these, besides they were all taken on a camera phone, and also my hands were shaking and aliens landed and the lighting was poor. 5 excuses in one sentence, I think that's quite commendable.



my teeth

penny for 'em

filofax

wallpaper

paper froggy

wooden puzzle

books

glass egg





Answers:
1. My rubbish dental toolkit. Rubbish because we had to buy it for like £50, even though it was only needed for 1 year, But cool because man, you never know when you'll need a wax knife.

2. A plaster cast of my teeth, as of 4 years ago.

3. Pennies. There's 21 in a wee wooden box, one from every year of my life. Some people are born great. Others achieve greatness. Still others collect pennies and photograph them.

4. My Filofax. I love this thing. The weird blue-ness in the background is some abstract Vista background.

5. My wallpaper, I haven't drawn on it, I promise.

6. Origami froggy! Needs no further explanation.

7. A cool wooden puzzle thing, from a set of 4. This one is the least fiddly, and the second most pretty.

8. Some books. They're not all just Oxford Dictionaries of Words and Phrases and Terry Pratchett. There may be a medical dictionary and a BNF in there somewhere too.

9. A glass egg ornament thing I bought from TK Maxx on a whim, then regretted as my arm near enough fell off as I carted it home. It'll be worth it when my glass chicken hatches though.

10. The wheel of my chair. Check that out.

11. My beloved stationery drawer. I feel blissful just looking at it. A clearer angle:

*drool*

Uhhh.. that's all for today, folks. Except for me telling you that I'm finishing this post a full week after starting it. Now that's dedication.

Awesome dedication. :D

Your room is the coolest. And your stationary drawer is so rad! It is now my life goal to have a stationary drawer as lovely as that. :D

Love, Falak

iMuslim said...

Coolio! That first photo is quite scary... looks like a tool of torture!

Falakk: Thanks! My room is a tip most of the time, you just can't see it because of the carefully angled pictures :)
But my stationery drawer is always tidy alhamdulillah!

Americanising Desi: Welcome! Stationery drawers are indeed awesome. I have a whole bunch of stuff my dad donated to mine, like old-school calligraphy pens and technical drawing doo-dads - no idea how they work but I keep them for the ambience :P

iMuslim: haha so it does! Don't worry though, it doesn't go anywhere near a patient's mouth (the patient stuff is way pointier!)

That's a beautiful drawer, if a little sparse.

amna fabregas: but if it's all over the place, you can't admire it all at once!

anonymous: I accept donations :)
