When I arrived at the train station this morning, I found that due to a computer malfunction, there'd be no trains in the direction of Amsterdam. We were advised to travel via Utrecht, but, quoth I, "Sod that for a game of soldiers", and turned right round. I put my unexpected holiday to good use, in that I finally took the time to properly acquaint myself with my mp3 player, organising my music files into several playlists, converting all the m4a files on my hard drive to mp3; and somehow managing on top of that to index all my cd-s online as well (at Recordnerd.com), except for the bunch of classical music cd-s which I have still to sort out. Plus, I made a dent in the mountain of laundry waiting to be ironed.
Anyway, I need to de-nerd for the rest of the weekend, and I think this meme offers the perfect opportunity:
Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about - it can be anything, from the house I live in to my favorite shoes.(ETA: please no, not my favourite shoes again!) Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them asan LJ entry a reply. That way you get to know a little bit about my life.

And I don't know what I'm curious about...bookshelves, maybe?
These are just a few of the bookcases I have in my home. The're in what used to be my study but is now a kind of all-purpose rubbish room, and hold my more scientific literature on art, architecture, archaeology, philosophy and theology; plus my college notes, papers and articles. There is also, incongruously, a shelf devoted to my BtVS-tapes and my dvd-s.
My bookcases holding ordinary reading materiallook like this:
I don't wear jewelry much. Partly because I can't (being allergic to most base metals), and partly because I'm always losing or misplacing what little jewelry I do possess. E.g., I bought a pair of pearl drop earrings last year, but I have no idea where they are.
When it comes to rings, I only have the one:
It used to be my stepmother's, who passed away 6 years ago, and I wear it as a remembrance of her.
