See it is just 'pre-ordered' universe unto itself :) I like the shot. The light streaming in over the stuff gives it a real 'I could think here' kind of feel.
I love the shot and the dictionary entry to go with it. I can definitely relate. :-)
Love the desk and wish I had one. I do have drawers and closets that fall into the "chaos" category.
Nice photo of "real" life!
