Why is it that my personal space always looks like I've just been the target of a suicide bomber from the Salvation Army?

I guess because I'm a messy b@stard, or I have too much to do, or not enough space, or I have no one to impress by maintaining a clean work or living space.

My office is currently undergoing renovations in that I am trying really hard to get all my non-work sh*t out of it.

Because CUHK's colors are yellow and purple, that's why. That's Edison saying goodbye. Makes me happy to remember.

The papers on that cabinet are the ONLY work-related thing in this photo. Other than the DVDs.

Aluminum treadplate, arrowheads I made, wood binding strips for guitars, an old shower curtain (don't ask), guitar templates...

Wood, CDs, posters, garbage...

The shelves on the left house my non-HK movies. And all my music DVDs.

Kung Fu Hustle box set (unopened), air pump (pills get stuck in my throat and I have a stiff neck for 12 hours), more garbage, 2 umbrellas...

You know you're a film prof when 5/6 shelves in your office house DVDs and not books. Notice the wood and steel clamps by the door. And the black spray paint and asthma inhaler and the 2-month calendar arrangement since I am such an absent minded loon that I need to see at least 4 weeks into my future...

So my cure is to cart all this sh*t home...

Doesn't everyone have a toolbox in their spare bedroom?

And enough spare parts to open their own guitar shop?

With 5 guitar bodies waiting for necks and a neck blank for a sixth body on order?

And a living room already full of guitars with no room for 6 f@#$ing more of the f@#$ing things?

In fairness to me, that space is a mess because I am bringing all that stuff home while trying to work on some guitars and getting buried at work and having insomnia, etc.

Oh, and because I haven't cleaned it up.

The only excuse for that is that I have failed to muster the will to do so. But my asthma has been acting up again/still. With this kind of smog, why wouldn't it?

"On a clear day, you can see Tai Po..."

Today is not a clear day.

I should start a Weezer tribute band called Wheezer. Then I can show off my newest guitar:

Oooh, guitars caught in the reflection of a guitar!

Candy Tangerine... Mmmmmmm...

damn! that's a big-ass shelf of dvd's you got there, mister! and i thought i had alot of dvd's. so are you gonna start a collection of blu-ray movies anytime soon? there's actually a place in downtown toronto that sells bluray's for less than half price for new movies on BD. they even got a few hong kong movies on BD. managed to buy CJ7 on bluray for $15. i also got that region 3 dvd as well... sure, it may be a double dip but when the better version is being sold for cheap, you can't say no to that!

Actually, you're lucky to have such a big office.

My desk is barely 2/3 of yours, + a chair and a tiny cabinet, that's all of my working place. But I've used to it, I understand it's HONG KONG!!!

My home office looks like your work office and spare bedroom thrown together into a cuisinart. The only space I have left that is functional now is the space that my keyboard sits on. The rest, well, let's just say I have several weekends of work ahead of me before I'll see the wood of my desk, the top of my filing cabinet or even the carpet. I just hope I don't burn out the shredder or give the garbage man a hernia before I'm done. Every weekend I tell myself I'll start, just a few hours. Somehow it always come off like a drunk saying he's only going to have one drink, and then quit.
