I will now update my desk, since I made this post along time ago (man, if I were still working on the essay...)
The stuff beside the computer is more or less the same, and I haven't bought any new electronics. So all the miscellaneous junk on my desk is:

one clear CD case (no label)
one CD my sister forgot here (Melanie? Whatever)
two MiniDV tapes
a plastic Ewok about 1/2" high, with spear in hand
a calendar from 1999, pictures of space (galaxies/nebulae, etc)
one "Camp Foxtrot" Comic book
a strip of rubberized fabric (like LRFs)
one "Art of Animation:Master" manual
one Animation:Master box.
