On 2004.12.28, I got fed up with the messy condition of my apartment and especially my bedroom. This is the the first set of pictures I took during the process of cleaning. They were taken 10 days after I started because I couldn't find my camera before then.
 


The Cheat is wearing a Corona Extra hat I bought in Cancun, Mexico. I don't like beer, but the hat looks good on him. You can see my wall scrolls from Lain, Ghost in the Shell, and Sailor Moon, as well as my shokugan sailor senshi posing on top of an old record player I haven't used in 4 years.


Not much here now. I had all of these boxes and others stacked on this shelf. I got rid of a lot of them.


The other side of the shelf above.


And below that shelf, more boxes, some cardboard that's too big for me to move out of the room (until I clear some space), two mattresses, and some hangers I would use if I was more organized!


Believe me, I had a TON more boxes before I started cleaning. These ones I kept because of size, shape, and good condition. I will be storing things in them. The larger one will store empty video game boxes to keep the dust off of them and make it easier to move them around all together.


The stereo and boxes to the left of it aren't mine. I'd probably throw them out if they were. The stack of boxes on the right was an unorganized mess before I went through them. Believe me, this is MUCH cleaner than it once was. In the center is a box filled with blank VHS cassettes. I was going to tape some TV shows, but I never got around to setting the timer before they were taken off the air.


Just some computer Items I haven't found a place for. Actually there are a lot more of these elsewhere in my room. Yes, that's a Seagate 20MB 5.25" hard drive on the left. It probably only has 10 good sectors by now. I wonder what's stored on it.


Two power supplies, professionally labeled with a Sanford King Sized marker, some instruction booklets and other junk I'm going to put into a box with other manuals and things. The blue 5 drawer.. um.. storing thingy you see on the right has replaced about 8 boxes of wires, connectors, phone equipment, and a butt load of other crap. I detangled everything, wrapped it up properly and organized it into different types of cables. If I need a cable for something, This is where it will be.


On our way out of the closet, we run into the things of evil I like to call "stuff in a trash bag." We will not be seeing what's inside, for to look into the trash bag is to flirt with bad, bad, icky things.


Escaping the closet, we now see my desk. It's littered with CDs, Tapes, and a whole lot of other crap. Oh, and don't forget all the boxes and papers underneath!


Yeah, um, that's supposed to be a bed, kind of. I can't really explain the mechanics of it, because I don't understand them, myself. I just find a way to sleep on it when I'm too tired to keep my eyes open. Oh, and that blanket on the wall blocks out the EVIL SUN.


Panning to the left, we now see an area I'm in the process of cleaning. Hey, look, boxes. Who would have imagined?


Remember that stack of boxes in the 6th picture? This is close to how it looked, except that this is about 1/3 the size.
