Good grief, I don't know what I can do for Thursday Thirteen today!
How about what's on my desk? That's on my mind because the darned thing needs a good clearing off.
1. Tums, two bottles of nasal spray, and Rescue Remedy.
2. An empty bowl, a spoon, and an empty glass.
3. My evaluations from my most recent course I taught at the community college.
4. My Nikon Coolpix P500 and my Nikon Coolpix S3200 cameras.
5. A small pile of Fincastle Heralds, the local weekly newspaper that I sometimes write for.
6. A notebook listing the things I purchase online.
7. My journal.
8. A print-out from the 1902 edition of the Tazewell Republican.
9. Instructions for a video game.
10. Three ink pens (Pilot G-2 (05), I only use the extra fine) and a pencil.
11. A blank yellow tablet.
12. A Gateway netbook.
13. Binoculars.
Thursday
Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list
here. I've
been playing for a while and this is my 289th time to do a list of 13 on a
Thursday.
Ah, inspiration can come from anywhere.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the state my desk is currently in, I could do my next five or six Thursday Thirteens listing objects on it - and not repeat anything. Eeep!
ReplyDeleteAnd hey! Coolpix cameras are awesome, aren't they? :D I have two of them, too - a Coolpix S8000 and an S4300. I love them!
I think your desk's clutter makes you sound like the interesting person that you are, Anita. Alas, I'm afraid the dreadful clutter on my computer hutch simply makes me look demented. :-)
ReplyDeleteOnly three ink pens? I've got two cups full.
ReplyDeleteMy desk is almost clutter-free. The dining room table on the other hand...
ReplyDeleteI started cleaning mine off last week (a mess!!) and I got stuck in the middle, so now it looks worse than before. How about 3 plastic frogs, a bottle of ginseng, a mug made by my son.
ReplyDeleteInteresting list. Re that Pilot G2: I usta be a fine point kinda guy. Now that I'm aging I use a 0.7, and (more and more frequently) a 1.0
ReplyDeletemy desk is a massive mess at the moment. your list reminds me of GK Chesterton, "Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past."
ReplyDeletebut yes, sometimes a list is harder than others.
ReplyDeleteI like your list. It's a bit like mine-quick but good. :) Thanks.

You must have a big desk :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Beth. Interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pens.
I suspect there's a story behind the binoculars. Right now, at this very moment, my desk is empty of just about everything because within the next three hours we're all moving offices.
ReplyDeleteI need a bigger, better desk. Mine is a piece of.... No matter how many items I have on it.
