A wocket in my pocket

I'm not doing so well at the regular updates now, am I... Here, let me list the titles of the books on my desk right now. Some I'm currently reading; some are on the to-read list. In the back left corner (closest to my pillow) I have the Book of Mormon in English, the Book of Mormon / D&C / Pearl of Great Price in Thai, and the Bible. In the front left corner I have C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (a friend is going to borrow it), CSL's Letters to an American Lady, Douglas H. Gresham's Lenten Lands, Don Aslett's Get Organized, Get Published!, Aaron Hillegass's Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, Joe Zobkiw's Mac OS X Advanced Development Techniques, and Brandon Goldfedder's The Joy of Patterns: Using Patterns for Enterprise Development. In the back right corner I have Jeremy Vineyard's Setting Up Your Shots, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Teach Yourself Welsh, and Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. And finally, in the front right corner I have Boyd Petersen's Hugh Nibley: A Consecrated Life, Se-Ed's Modern English-Thai & Thai-English Dictionary, Harvey and Marilyn Diamond's Fit for Life, Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring, Eugene Savaiano's Spanish Idioms, the Random House Webster Handy Spanish Dictionary, and an Oxford World's Classics collection of five Chekhov plays. Other items on my desk include my lamp, a roll of tissue paper, a surge protector (into which are plugged my cell phone charger and the desk lamp), a pad of post-it notes, a piece of paper with the Thai alphabet on it for use in developing the cover for my Adventures in Thailand book (which I'm putting together for my CHum 283 class), my iPod, a 3x5 index card with design notes for an application to help me design other applications :), two of my scheduling cards, a post-it note reminding me to write in my journal and clean my hard drive up, and two letters from one of my friends who's a missionary in Thailand right now.

Heck, this is kind of fun. :) It's late and I need to get to bed, but here's a list of the contents of my pockets. Shirt pocket: notebook (3x5" pad with 75 sheets) and pen (I've been using The Dog pens from Thailand for the past year but I ran out and so I bought a Pilot Precise V5 Rolling Ball Extra Fine pen with which I'm pretty pleased). Left pants pocket: cell phone and chapstick. Right pants pocket: keys and wallet (the back pocket in this pair of pants is sewn shut so I keep my wallet in the right pocket).

Well, I do realize that this kind of thing is probably not interesting to anyone but me and my future posterity, but just humor me, okay? :)
