Of Solitary Lamps and Music

My study table is a mess...

Unfortunately, it is not because I am in the midst of this painful string of events called 'examinations', but really because I am always in this orchestrated and organised mess...

I like to put, on the wall in front of my table, the things that I really like and enjoy. Say for example, J bought mini-muffins for us the other time and I have the shop label from the muffin box up on the wall. I also have a small self-printed 'poster' of Elmo in a Labcoat.

I have photos, of my parents, my sister, Mr S.O and myself. I have post-it notes from my housemates wishing me good luck for my examinations.

Then I have the geekier stuff... say notes that remind me what an 'auxotroph' is. The 20 amino acids and their DNA codes. I have the periodic element from webelements.com too...

Then I have a label saying; 'The solitary lamp of my soul, they dye your feet in music'.

I think it has been there since March... Those were the words that I wanted engraved on the ipod that was meant for Mr S.O. for his birthday this year. Too bad I did not give him an ipod, so no engraving for him.

Maybe it can go onto the new mac, when his current mac runs out of breathe?

Yes Mr S.O., you can thank me now... =) But it does not mean that you can practice euthanasia on the current one.
