What's on your bedside table?

[Nate Dogg]

My CD alarm clock, four remote controls(!), cell phone(charging), a flashlight, telephone, and caller ID box.....

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

now if you asked me what I kept piled on my bed, the list would grow to include magazines, clothes, and a whole bunch more stuff that I'm too lazy to move..


Foray - have you read A History of the world in 10 1/2 chapters - Julain barnes? I can't remember if you were the one that reccomeneded it, and I'm looking for something to read.

 

[adamswildhoney]

I dont have one but next to my bed on the floor is my lyric sheets and U2 NME Uncut magazine, and on the widowsil next to my bed is a glass of water and the remote to my cdplayer.

 

[brdemi]

I don't have a table but here's what's on my desk: cordless phone, empty water bottle, textbooks I need to sell, pack of chewing gum, remote controls for tv and stereo, pictures of friends and family, Hard Rock Hotel/Casino plastic cup filled with loose change, stereo, biology dissection kit (only used once to dissect a starfish I think), and high school grad tassle hanging on a trophy I won a couple months ago.

we recently had a re-arrange, so no longer a great bulky portable CD player woohoo,so

I now have a lamp that doesn't teeter over and threaten to unexpectedly clobber me in the middle of the night, just a neat, stable LITTLE one., with it's switch in an ergonomic position.

And more room for...BOOKS!!A pile of books that do teeter, but they fall on the floor , not on me...phew!

[Giant Lemon]

I don't really have a bedside table, but I use part of my dresser as one. Here's what's on it:

alarm clock
CD player
remote control


not exciting at all

 

[Diemen]

My table has two shelves underneath the top...let's see, I've got a lamp, my watch, a stack of cds, a cd changer, amp, a couple pairs of headphones, the LOTR trilogy-in-one-book (just finished it again a couple days ago), and a picture of me and a good friend.

 

[Cleasai]

Hmm, well my dresser (which is next to my bed) has my tv, vcr, alarm clock, 3(?) remotes, various scraps of papers, cologne, book (walk on: spiritual guide to U2) picture of a girl I've had a crush on for awhile now , label making machine, headphones, walkman, and I think some batteries.

Now that I think of it, I dont think I really have any clothes in the drawers either The first two are filled with cassette tapes, and the rest are filled with more magazines, books, and random junk.

The top of a bookshelf serves as my nightstand.
On top: Alarm clock, Jewelery box, lip balm, remote.

My favorites (Irish theme going on ) are on the 2nd shelf:

3rd shelf was my Christmas theme with books, and trinkets. I haven't figured out what to put there for the new year.

4th shelf = tons of self help type books covering everything from raising boys to dieting. I don't ever visit this shelf, but I had good intentions.


Now the bench at the foot of my bed has books, magazines, calendars, bills and more bills.

Foray - have you read A History of the world in 10 1/2 chapters - Julain barnes? I can't remember if you were the one that reccomeneded it, and I'm looking for something to read.

YES that was me and it is fantastic. Bite-sized, even, cos of the separate yet cohesive stories. Wait til you get to the chapter about art & Gericault's "Rift Of The Medusa"... Anyway the entire thing is genius, nuff said.
