Someone asked me a while back if I really did have a big coffee maker. I took a picture of it, but I can't find the cord for my camera. Grr.
The coffee maker is actually a big 36 cup perculator I picked up at a thrift shop. We drink so much coffee that it was perfect and the cool part was that it was from either the 70's or 80's. The box had never been opened, the seal tape was all yellow, but the perculator was in perfect brand new condition. I love finds like that.
Just to let you know, coffee from a perculator tastes oh so much better. It can really sit there all day and never get that burnt taste like in popular makers out there today.
When the cord turns back up, expect more pictures. I plan to show you where I write from. I call it 'The Crypt'. My desk is a three tiered corner desk and I have black material draped from the cieling around it. There is a skull beside my right speaker, black roses in a wine bottle with wax down the sides, silver streamer things in front of the printer, and a pumpkin spice candle. Whoops, ThuggyBear (the husband) just gave me one of the Glade candles in French Vanilla.
Can you tell I like the macbre? I guess you could say I have a goth slant. While it is rare for me to dress the part, I loved the dark part of life ever since I was small. I started out writing horror before I ever got into freelancing.
Funny, that. A writer of nightmares turned family writer. I may post some of my evil fiction here for fun.

I would kill for a 36 cup coffee maker. I've never even heard of that. I can't believe you found one unopened at a thrift store! That is a good find.
It's great. If you ever have been to a dinner with one of those big silver coffee pots on a table with snacks, you've seen what I have. I should find one online to post.
That is so funny. I live on coffee too except my dr. says i have to cut back (to about 20 oz/day). It stinks but that's life I guess.
Love the description of your desk, sounds interesting...
