Fireside study.

Fireside study., originally uploaded by Chaddicus.

I am taking a break from studying fireside to write this. Our basement is a wonderful place now. It had fallen into disuse after our old CRT projector broke last spring, and has since been used as a sorting grounds for all the junk that has been stockpiled in our house over the past eighteen years. I was able to convince Dad to buy a new projector a few weeks ago, and the basement has since been cleaned and rearranged. The projector sits on a unit about two thirds of the way back from the screen and behind that is where I am currently sitting. There is the unit and a table to my right, a stool for my feet in front of me, and the fireplace to my left. This is my new study area. For the past few nights I have come down here, lit a fire, put on the cable box's digital radio Chamber Music station, sat in this comfortable chair, and studied. I love it here.

Note: In the picture above, I have turned so that you can also see the fire.
