Hi guys.

Great to meet you all. I'm Carmel's other half.

I've been told that I'm a geek and I'm not too sure how I feel about
that. I don't think I qualify. But perhaps you can help me. I'll
describe the room in which I sit as I type this...and you be the
judge.

Working clockwise, from the left.

A large (original) framed print of an Atlas booster launch from the
early days of the space program.
A bookcase, which is supposed to house all the books which are NOT
SF. Nevertheless, there is a certain amount of Orwell, Asimov and
Crighton as they just don't seem to fit anywhere else.
Reaching my desk, we have two plastic dinosaurs next to the keyboard
in memory of Wash (Serenity) a large brass telescope, a space shuttle
pencil sharpener, and sitting on the printer is a cool battery
operated Spiderman who climbs up a string in his chest.
Behind the desk are two genuine NASA PR photos from the Apollo 16
mission, framed, and autographed by Charlie Duke. Who I met in, of
all places, Grovedale.
Above the photos is a shelf with 9 robots on it.
Moving to the next wall is the H.R. Giger wall. Two posters, Two
framed album covers for which he provided the artwork, and a glass
shelf supporting a couple of Aliens. Shoved next to the filing
cabinet is the 2005 Star Wars Poster calander - it's happy there, and
is only on standby in case we suddenly, inexplicably find another
place to hang something on the walls. I hope Giger doesn't mind.
Turn the corner and we hit the bookcase - more a book-wall.
Top shelf - Two computer game boxes on display (Starship Titanic and
Ubik) three more robots, a Star Trek TNG talking moneybox, a Planet
of the Apes snap-together model kit of Caesar, a hat which says 'do
not use this brain - abnormal,' and a large wookie.

Working through the bookcase from top left to bottom right, we have
How To Win at Space Invaders... actually, I can see that this could
get out of hand. Lets just say that the SF DVDs are in their own
quarrantined area, as are the SF books. The books are arranged
alphabetically with the exception of Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut,
Philip K Dick and Michael Marshall Smith, coz there are just too many
of them. In the non-fiction section, I suppose you'd have to say
that books about Science Fiction, the space program, and robots have
disproportionate representation.

Turn the corner again, and you are at the door. The door has a white
towel on it - limited edition Hitchhikers Guide towel. Look out the
door and you can see two robots on a shelf, because they have spilled
out of the study and are taking over.

Help!
