Good ole Metric.
My desk is so crowded we've started calling it "The Nest." Which is a mocking title it (I) richly deserves.
Things living in the nest:
repaired triplicate lamp
small painted octopus
a box of beads
xeroxed photos of my brother's art
lip balm
books. so. many. books. all partially read.
a miniature merry-go-round
a box of story ideas
a recorder
mascara
three letters
a bottle of tylenol
a sewing kit
the list just goes on forever, I swear.
