I missed a meme...

...where I was tagged by Boudicca with "The Bedside Table Meme". I don't know if she will be disappointed or not, because I don't find what I have on my nightstand nearly as interesting as what she has.

Here's the list:

1 glass of Port wine I'm drinking before I go to bed

1 halogen desk lamp I'm using as a reading lamp (I read a lot in bed)

1 indoor-outdoor wireless thermometer with hydrometer and clock that I use as my alarm clock (and it tells me how damned uncomfortable I'm going to be when I go outside...)

1 pair of sunglasses

my watch

my wallet

car key

the token that generates the 6 digit code I have to use to get a VPN connection with my work

coins adding up to approximately 2 euros and 60-some odd centiemes (aka "cents"), much of which is in these damned two-centieme coins that I can't get rid of. They are worse than pennies, it's like having a two-cent piece in US currency. It's completely idiotic to have a two-centieme piece.

OK, I feel better now. Back to the list.

my apartment keys

6 books:

Orcs - The Omnibus Edition, by Stan Nicholls (apparently only available in the UK, the first book is Bodyguard of Lightning)

Breakfast at Tiffany's/Petit déjeuner chez Tiffany by Truman Capote (a bilingual edition with the left page in French, the right the same passage in English, sold here to help folks learn English, needless to say, I'm using it to learn French)

The Catholic Church : A Short History (Modern Library Chronicles), by Hans Kung

Slapped Together: The Dilbert Business Anthology, by Scott Adams

Beyond Fear - Thinking sensibly about security in an uncertain world, by Bruce Schneier

Christianity and Paganism in the Fourth to Eighth Centuries, by Ramsay MacMullen
