"Chez le fatal picard" no more, but still the same

Today`s there is an old end to a new day. Looking around, this room feels more and more like home. The table is full of clothes, and one book, no, two books, if you pay really close attention. There are exactly 6 pairs of shoes on the floor (12 shoes, but not sure if they make up 6 pairs or 5 pairs and two unpaired shoes), and exactly two piles of clothes on the floor, near the laundry basket (one of the piles may still have wearable clothes). The bookshelf is used as laptop support (very lateral thinking) and on of the shelves for feet support while sitting on the bed. The purple "painting" of a road we bought when we moved here would probably fall from the cupboard if it weren`t for my clean underwear (the dirty underwear is tossed all over the upstairs room) and some other t-shirts plus a small broken lamp. Most of the time, drawers should be kept shut, but not here. In this world, drawers are wide open. Ours are full of papers, cables, socks, and huge amounts of various nothings that we will never use in our lives. The night stand (a converted table) has a belt on it, an external hard-drive, a watch, and a book titled "The devil`s bible" which I always intended to read, but never got around to, a pen, a DVD (we found it in the room, so it must`ve belonged to the previous tenants), and a pair of socks. The bed is covered in blue and golden sheets, the golden are mine, the blue are Bolo's. Any stranger could see inside this room, if they bothered to take a peek through the crack in the curtains, but that doesn`t bother me - never was much of a private person.

This is my environment and it`s as cosy as is chaotic.The lights are dim. Bolo ordered online a lamp cover, which does not fit and blocks most of the power of the light bulb. We decided to install it though, but it does not look as something that should be standing on the ceiling, it looks like something that should be standing on a desk.

None of this matters, it`s the way things are done around here.
