As some people might know, I just moved house a few days ago. I finally finished unpacking today and I decided to take some pictures.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nThe entrance to doom and horror<\/p>\n

Warning<\/strong>: Pictures may be extremely disturbing to the uninitiated.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nRei and Mana<\/p>\n

Turn right (although no one in the right mind would do that since you’d be facing the wall) after stepping through the door and you’ll see two large Evangelion<\/strong> posters that identify me as a level 12 Eva fanboy. Mana is hawt. That’s a not-for-sale promotional poster for the PS1 version of Girlfriend of Steel<\/strong><\/a>. I found it at Mandarake Shibuya<\/a> for \u00ef\u00bf\u00a5200. Yay.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nThe lair<\/p>\n

Right across the door is where I spend 90% of my waking hours, excluding school.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

Generally I do my stuff on the main monitor. The secondary monitor is mostly for IRC, Winamp and some misc. widgets.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

The rig below is a Pentium 3 with a dead HDD. I was using it to run Linux, but it’s dead now. At least until I move a HDD over.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

A Coolmaster case. It’s so cool that the PVC figures above it have not melted yet. In fact, it’s so cool that there’s a penguin sitting on it.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

Louise stands above my Creative subwoofer.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

Behind is the promotional poster for Maaya Sakamoto<\/a>‘s “Kazemachi JET” single. I have the one for Yunagi LOOP too, but it was damaged when I took it down during the packing. I failed as a Maaya fanboy. orz<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

I have no idea why the penguin is there. It just is.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

My wallet’s coin compartment has a huge hole, so I took out all my coins. That’s a Mahora<\/a> school crest on the keychain.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

When she’s not on a holiday<\/a>, Saber sits on my desk. Gao.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

Behind Saber is a wallscroll of Tama-nee. It’s a promotional item from Messe Sanoh<\/a> that came with the limited edition copy of ToHeart2 XRATED<\/a>. I bought it from Lashinbang<\/a> in Ikebukuro for \u00ef\u00bf\u00a52,000.<\/p>\n

And now we come to the interesting part…the shelves…<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>

\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

The storage area belong Kasumi is where I dump everything that can’t be displayed. I should invest more in displayable stuff, like posters.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

I seem to be missing some books. Oh well. Maybe they got lost in one of the bajillion boxes during the move. Hopefully they’ll turn up one day…<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/a>\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

My “study” desk. Do you see any studying materials around? I think not.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

My laptop. It’s trying and failing to boot Linux off a Live CD. Sigh…<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

My phone charging. HARUHIISM FOREVER!!!<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a><\/p>\n

My HP printer and, uh, some CDs… Okay this is getting lame. Let’s wrap up with some shots of the posters and pencil boards that are haphazardly pasted all over the place.<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a>
\nMelons are nice<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>\"Otaku<\/a>
\nThe princesses<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nThe girls with guns<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nSetsuna-chan!!! Too bad the game sucked<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nThis phone card costs more than any single poster<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nSo…uh…yeah, I like Lacus<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nA brave issue of
Megami<\/a> gave up its life<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nPretty bad picture due to the poor lighting (that or I just suck)<\/p>\n

And finally…<\/p>\n

\"Otaku<\/a>
\nFEEEEEEEEEEENA!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Everyone knows that I have a thing against displaying posters with folds, but Feena is an exception. :3<\/p>\n

BTW my room is defended by a USB missile launcher<\/a>. So don’t even think about it!<\/p>\n
