Objects, Places and Xmas

The word "geek" or "otaku" doesn't seem enough to describe who I am.  Yes I'm obsessed with objects, in particular stationery and photography related objects/images, but there are more beyond logos and I strive to escape from Plato's cave knowing how limited I am as a human being, so what you see here is only the shadow of my self, which is beyond description.  Anyway, corporeal objects are shadows of another existence, they (things I adhere to) often amuse me because they reflect the higher/true self behind in tiny little ways.  I enjoy reflections from objects.

Objects and Xmas

• a book given to me as a gift from a Japanese colleague - Love & Free by Ayumu Takahashi
• from 9 o'clock: Futurama tin toy figure acquired in September NY Gift Show
• a light bulb burned out for over 6 months in Times Square store and nobody aware of it.  Its a souvenir I need to remind myself to talk to them about operations issues.  I used a marker to write on the glass surface the story
• GTD Action Magnet: My own design, a set of 5 strong magnets designed to be used as reminders of the GTD practise.  It will be on production in January and arrive our store exclusively.  I shall post more about this once it gets more solid
• White Xmas wreath decorated with white LED light on the surface, blue LED on the background: a proud combination I did for this year's Xmas, it is now hanging on my front door
• Reindeer and slate: I love the white/red combination, so when I saw this display in Festival Walk mall, I took this moody picture right away
• Crabtree & Evelyn Xmas shopping bag: I love the drawing a lot!  Someday I will paint something similar but with my own twist
• Coffee at 9pm: after dinner, exhausted but motivated, a boost of energy for the rest of the night's work
• Antique Dymo and stamps: they are sort of same in certain sense - labeling.  All acquired as my antique stationery collection
