Sort of both. I love my room actually. It's far longer than it looks and it's always dark and forbidding, which makes me feel as if I'm ruling over some medieval hall...sort of serious here...although the walls are covered in Titian posters...so quite Renaissance. (Not to mention Venus of Urbino desktop)

While the view is a bit, ah, austere, the window's also got access to the roof and I can hear anyone coming in by the boy's entrance if I want. If I were to conquer my boarding house, this would be the place to start...

And the housemaster's kitchen is close by for possible raiding.

As Mith pointed out by PM, a painting commemorating my recent murder of Glirdan can be spotted left of the window, ho ho...

But Glirdan was not a pheasant.

Anguirel · 05-25-2006, 01:47 PM

Actually I think it's a grouse. Though that's a fairly uneducated guess...not flamboynt enough for a pheasant, too fat for a quail or partridge...

Nice photo, Ang. Where did you get your costume, if you don't mind my asking? It looks awesome. I wish there were medieval banquets around where I live, but we don't usually get that kind of thing.

Once my dad gets his roll of film developed, you might actually see some pictures of me...I don't have anything recent at the moment.

That is one cool outfit, Ang. And, if I may say, you remind me very much of one of the men of ancient times, of the line of Túrin you may well pass for.

My dressing up cupboard at home. As you can imagine, I spent my entire childhood as a knight (with occasional interludes of gentleman piracy...).

Another update done today, June 12th. It looks like this one per month update trend may be the way it ends up going. So, allow at least a month for your picture to show up, depending on when you email it to me.
The good news... we're on to page 3 now!

I may have fun photos to share in a few weeks... I'm going to Toronto to The Gathering of the Fellowship (hopefully... assuming it still goes... which it probably will) and to see the musical! I'm excited!
