My house

So I borrowed a digital camera today so that I could use it to take some pictures of my house, because my house is awesome and you want to see pictures of my house taken with a borrowed digital camera. Accompanying the photographs is helpful and possibly amusing commentary explaining just what the hell you're seeing. Enjoy.
IMG_0799.JPG - What you see when you enter my house: the kitchen and part of the living room. Behold my couch in its glory! It is a glorious coat rack. Behold the bicycle I have not used for six years!
IMG_0800.JPG - The inverse view of the previous image: a view of the front of my house. Behold my television and Sock (the laptop on top of the TV). Behold the magnificence of my Nintendo chair, and my Nintendo.
IMG_0801.JPG - A view from out of my hallway toward the kitchen table which is secrely a recycling bin. Is that a Galilean thermometer? Yes. It is.
IMG_0802.JPG - I think this image focuses on my telephone. Its batteries aren't as good as they used to be. That sucked. :(
IMG_0803.JPG - When kitchens attack, they do not leave any part of their prey behind. The noble kitchen, using its knives, surgically removes the head and places it into the white trash can in order to appease its god.
IMG_0804.JPG - This is where it all happens, when all := sleeping. In situations when all ≠ sleeping, {all} ∩ {sleeping} = ∅ ∀ all ∈ {all}
IMG_0805.JPG - Pianos that play Moonlight Sonata are different from normal pianos, because their owners are significantly more baroque.
IMG_0806.JPG - Upon entering my study, you see that I am awesome. This is awesome.
IMG_0807.JPG - The best image of my study. You can see Chives in the corner under the wooden desk. Its monitor is the CRT. Jupiter is the PDA on the wooden desk. Diaeresis is the black thing behind the chair under the metal desk. Ron is the Xbox 360 next to Jupiter. Diaeresis and Ron share the widescreen LCD monitor. You can also see my favourite book, Caps and spelling, on top of my subwoofer.
IMG_0808.JPG - A more direct view of Diaeresis and my metal desk, as well as my cool space posters. My mouse has eight buttons. That's five more buttons than your mouse has.
IMG_0809.JPG - A closeup of Jupiter and Ron, as well as my subwoofer and my favourite book, the Canadian Oxford Dictionary.
IMG_0810.JPG - I took a snap or six of my book case, because it holds all of my favourite books like Contemporary Abstract Algebra. Also in view is the +20 crushed Coke can of computer science. Bitches don't know about my +20 crushed Coke can of computer science.
IMG_0811.JPG - Part two of the book case saga. This time you can see my Samurai Jack and Harry Potter DVDs better. Last time there was too much specular lighting in the way. Caustic!
IMG_0812.JPG - Part three of the book case fiasco. The last photo of the case before the two-photo hiatus. This one focuses on my DVD collection. That's anime at the top, and regular stuff on the bottom. I'm missing House season 3 and Rescue Me season 1 from that, since I have them lent out right now.
IMG_0813.JPG - This shot looks suspiciously like IMG_0807.JPG. I think this is a rerun. Let's take this opportunity to admire my chair. Isn't is awesome? Yes.
IMG_0814.JPG - This image shows off a great deal of caustic lighting the real world is so famous for. I mean, wow. Those graphics are amazing. This looks just like a photograph. I think those wires have something to do with it. There are so many, so they must be really, really important.
IMG_0815.JPG - Back to the book case, part 2: electric boogaloo. I like this one 'cause you can see my favourite book, Snow Crash, on the third shelf from the bottom.
IMG_0816.JPG - The first of the two-part book case finale. This one features my favourite book, Old Man's war.
IMG_0817.JPG - The final and arguably best photograph in the epic book case miniseries. This one features my favourite book, Calculus, as well as my favourite book, Physics. And let's not forget my favourite book, The Klingon Dictionary.
Thank you for your wasted time.

Allium schoenoprasum - Okay so thats there (In the room anyway), but I cant help but noticing that your book case is utterly lacking in the department of Douglas Adams.. Thats a real shame you know, especially if you go hiking, you might not know of all the bright sides of bringing a towel, or think about it: You vs "Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal" no chance, least you read the guide. So get at it. And if you have (Gone at it)... then where is it. ?

I have never read the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy in five parts. Lots of people have told me to do it, but no one as gone and bought me the books, so how am I supposed to read them? You don't honestly expect me to buy them, do you?

Well there you have it - a brand new Kurisumasu wish.
Make sure you make it for "the ultimate", or if you have friends/family [people who give you presents] lack in cooperation or coordination skills you might want to choose the (in all cooperation cases) dominated strategy of making wishes for the individual books apart from each other - but beware the continuity might be lost between the books, at least for some versions. Or you could chose a mutant strategy of wishing for individual book with a note that you want to be able to return them to the store(implicit message "FOR CASH"), along with a wish for a gift coupon for the cheapest bookstore/onlinestore. That would give your friends a possibility to individually buy a book that suits their "present debt"/"present expectation" - and give you the possibility of buying the ultimate version of "Hitch Hikers ..axy".
That is if you have friends that buy you stuff - only valid if they haven't already bought them.... And you are willing to substitute in any lacking funds for the final reshuffle buy.
How this is readable - if not... i created a dead weight loss in your life of about ... 5 minuets of your time - and for that I am sorry.
