[Shakespeare]

inside or outside - show us your natural habitat.

Outside:


Inside (my teeny studio, and reminding myself that I HAVE to fix the date stamp on my camera):

[trackfan]

1. Two shots

[Shakespeare]

3. That table looks set up for a heckuva party.

And love the Spanish style house--you in LA, too?

[trackfan]

17. Yes, we're in Highland Park

I think that was Thanksgiving. (We were giving thanks that the Liquor Store was open).

[billyskank]

5. Bedford, England

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. That is a well-stocked bar.

:thumbsup:

[seemunkee]

11. Looks like a nice party

[seemunkee]

13. This is all I got

my bar


And my gym

[LostinVA]

25. I would love to have a squat cage at home -- JEALOUS!!!

[lyonn]

75. I'll be right over with my toddy. That is cute nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Your house looks wonderful! Here's some of mine:

[Broken_Hero]

68. Wow...

Just wow...puts my weak ass Superman room to shame! Very beautiful home Peggy...:) I am jealous...I envy your bookshelves! I always need bookshelves, I never have enough...In my back room, I got a closet full of books, probaby 1,000 plus...just sitting boxes, collecting dust....but man, shelves are so spendy, even the cheap knock offs, are expensive...

[av8rdave]

4. oops...hafta try that again

[Trailrider1951]

7. Well, I used to live in Houston

but not anymore:




http://austin.about.com/od/photogallery/ss/loop360bridge.htm

[fleabert]

50. I can't count how many times I have launched from that very spot!

gotta love austin!

[ohiosmith]

8. Vegas baby!

[av8rdave]

15. Going there tomorrow for a couple of days

[Crazy Dave]

9. Jacksonville, Florida

Looks nice but it's the reddest city in a red state.

[Shakespeare]

28. Hey, Jax isn't all that bad--my sister lives there.

And Pensacola is WAY redder than Jax. I know; I lived there. :scared:

[hotforteacher]

10. Up here in 10,000 lake land...

[Reciprocity]

12. This is our one claim to fame this time of year.

We used to make oil well equipment. No so much anymore, but look what you can do with the leftovers.

[Shakespeare]

19. Lufkin? One of my best friends grew up in Diboll!

It's been so long, I'm not sure I'm even spelling that correctly.

[KitchenWitch]

14. MMM, you a Judge Marilyn Millian fan?

;)

[Shakespeare]

18. Heh, no the KCAL-9 noon news had just gone off.

And I think that's what comes on next. My mom LOVES her, though.

[KitchenWitch]

21. LOL - Isn't KCAL 9 essentially all news all the time?

:rofl:

At least when they are not airing the Dodgers!

[Shakespeare]

23. News with intermittent crap, pretty much.

:7

[KitchenWitch]

26. I am loving some of the names of these news personalities.

Weather men:

Dallas Raines
Johnny Mountain.

Weather and Traffic man:

Rick Dickert (are you KIDDING me?)

And apparently I arrived just in time for Rick Dees' return to the radio waves :eyes:

[idgiehkt]

16. very beautiful, Shakespeare.

no pics of my own to post, but wow, that is a gorgeous appartment, I love the futon, and the red together with the hanzi/kanji or whatever it looks really pretty.

[Shakespeare]

20. It's actually a regular bed made to look like a futon/couch/non-bed.

I hate to think what my poor back would do to me if I slept on a futon every night.

And thank you--those are all original Chinese watercolors and calligraphy scrolls (the stuff on the opposite wall are all Calder prints).

[Deja Q]

22. Nice decor, you've got!

Hat tree, tv, multimedia PC


Living room area opposite tv - need to clean some stuff up I'd brought out of the storage closet


Side view with dvd collection


Far end (took me MONTHS to drink all the wine, don't worry)


In bed, so alone...


Bad hair day.

[cwydro]

79. I love your place

love the pics on the wall, especially love that you have Roseanne on...that is my favorite show in the middle of the night...:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

24. My house:

My city, Austin, TX:

[Shakespeare]

27. ooooh....pretty shot of Austin!

Is that a crepe myrtle tree in your backyard? I never see those out here; have to wait till I go to my parents' house to see 'em.

[GOPisEvil]

29. Yep! I've got two in my side yard.

They're a little out of control, so I need to prune them a bit. But I have to admit they are pretty to look at.

That is a nice shot of Austin, I tried to show a shot without the Capitol.

How 'bout them Aggies? :woohoo:

[Shakespeare]

30. We're FINALLY ranked this week!

Now let's just hope we can hang on to it. :woohoo:

[GOPisEvil]

31. Oh, you know I'm headed out that way later this year, right?

Since I can't roll over my vacation time (:eyes:), I decided to head back out to LA. We can toast our successful season. (:crossesfingers: ) :toast:

[Shakespeare]

33. Hey, I already said we need a big ol' LA Meetup.

There may not be a Cowhop or a Dixie Chicken in LA, but there are plenty of other great places we can toast the Ags. :toast:

[GOPisEvil]

34. Oh, I plan to eat my way across LA on this trip.

I figure the healthiest thing I eat will be sushi and Thai. First weekend in December (1-5). :bounce:

[Shakespeare]

In-N-Out burgers, Fatburger's onion rings, the Apple Pan....

...Musso & Frank, Miceli's, Empress Pavillion in Chinatown (best stateside dim sum), Pink's.....I can keep going, you know...

on edit: OH OH OH....best sushi is at Hirozen, in a little strip center on Beverly Blvd., near the Beverly Center. Once you step inside, you forget you're in a strip mall. And oh my god, the sushi is amazing.

[GOPisEvil]

37. Are you auditioning for tour guide?

:salivating: You're the leader in the clubhouse with that list. :D

[Shakespeare]

39. Hey, you wanna eat well, I can tell you where to go.

LA is highly, highly underrated as a food town. LA and DC are my favorite food towns (and yes, I've spent considerable time in NYC, and still rank those two over it).

Great Vietnamese food in the valley, an assortment of great places in Little Ethiopa on Fairfax...it just never ends.

[GOPisEvil]

40. I'll make sure to bring comfy clothes.

Nothing that clings. ;)

I actually agree with you about LA. I've been there many times and have always just found good places to eat. Even the local chains there are damn good.

[Shakespeare]

41. Los Tacos!

The nastiest, greasiest, cheap-ass Mexican food in the city....and OMG is it good. I'm pretty sure they use lard in their beans (which makes them taste SO good).

They're all over Hollywood, and they're open 24 hours. The ultimate drunk/munchie food. The chile relleno/beef taco plate is my go-to meal there. Or, if it's breakfast time, the chorizo and egg burrito.

Benito's taco stands aren't bad either, if you like your tacos fried taquito style.

Damn. Now I'm hungry.

[GOPisEvil]

42. I haven't had dinner yet either!

My stomach is rumbling! I can tell when a Tex-Mex place uses lard in their beans. They just taste so much better. You can taste the porcine goodness. There is a reason I was damn-near 300 lbs. at one time.

[LSK]

32. ok

Notice whos on the TV :D

[Left Is Write]

35. I like your digs!

This is my living room, decked out for Christmas last year:




The dining area of our kitchen:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. My natural habitat:

Outside:


Back yard:


Inside, looking out:


Actual photos of the inside do not exist because it's too unspeakably messy to be photographed.

[Shakespeare]

38. OMG what an adorable house!!

Will you adopt me?

[greatauntoftriplets]

43. Main Street, aka, Madison Avenue

Sorry, no interior photos.

[Aristus]

78. Cool!

[Karenca]

46. One of the exits in my building. (from the inside).

[Karenca]

47. My building:

[Shakespeare]

53. Aw, I just love the hell out of NYC.

I need to get back for a visit.

Gorgeous building!

[Karenca]

54. Thanks so much ;))

It's even so much prettier in person.

[fleabert]

I'm a texas ex-pat living on the coast in northern CA- it's great! But it looks a lot warmer in that pic, and the sand is much lighter...

[fleabert]

49. California!

[bridgit]

[Broken_Hero]

I got mine lit right now...first fire of the fall....Tammy couldnt' take the cold nights anymore....but more importantly...she couldn't stand my cold hands/feet anymore!...:) I'm so evil with my ice cube hands/feet...:)

[flamingyouth]

62. Thanks

It's just a gas fireplace and we don't use it too much. I always have ice cold hands and feet too - while Neil is the exact opposite. :D

[Broken_Hero]

63. ours is a wood burning...its a good sized stove

actually...been collecting wood steadily the past month or so...got a good load in today actually...

[Shakespeare]

64. oooooh....LOVE the screen over the fireplace!

My House

My city in Arkansas


I LOVE the Fall!!!

[begin_within]

66. I think GWB himself must have taken this photo:

[ForrestGump]

71. My 'hood, of late

I live a few miles away from all that -- maybe seven or so (I've walked it a few nights, during my strolls-without-end) -- but I work right on the Strip again these days as I did last year, within the compressed field of view of this picture.

Viva Las Vegas, and all that...

[ulysses]

74. great apartment!

Here's the batcave...



More recent view, with sleeping baby in the foreground...



The outside, as it was when we bought it last year...

[Shakespeare]

77. I like the batcave!

I also love the exterior--all those trees are just perfect, and is that a big front porch?

[kwassa]
