It’s been said that a messy desk is the sign of a sane mind. If that’s the case, Hannah Simone is the most stable person we know. Here’s a look at our intrepid MuchNews/NewMusic host’s workstation, as broken down by Hannah herself.

1. FATBOY SLIM RECORD
I like records. What you can’t see is that behind the Fatboy Slim record is a really old record by a female artist that looks like my mom when she was young. I won’t say who to save her the embarrassment, but she is beautiful.

2. WATER, RED BULL
I like to be hydrated and energized. What more can I say?

3. FLOWERS
I have a habit of getting flowers and leaving them in the vase until I get new fresh ones to replace them. That sometimes takes months. My deskmates have had a few words with me about the dead flowers.

4. COMPUTER
My computer is adorned with labels that my best friend made for me with her label maker. The one on the top is my favourite line from The Departed courtesy of Alec Baldwin. The one on the bottom is a saying from my friend. It says “Just for the halibut.” She is from Nova Scotia.

5. CDs
Every morning when I come to work there are a couple new CDs on my desk. Which is awesome.

6. BOTTLE OF WINE
A gift from the host of Where You At Baby?. It is adorned with a stuffed Japanese anime cat. A gift from his producer. They like to taunt me with the fact that they travel the world shooting for their show while I am locked up day in and day out at 299.

7. NARDWUAR DVD
Nardwaur is one of my favourite people and was recently in Toronto and gave me his kickass DVD.

8. BABY IN A JAR
Last Halloween Liam from Cancer Bats and I made alien babies. This is mine. The water has evaporated halfway and it freaks people out. I love it.

9. CARICATURE
During our Be Loud live election results show, CP24 was broadcasting their live elections results show across the hall. Except theirs was a party with a caricature artist and open bar. The moment I got off the air at Much I was pulled onto their show to talk about it and while I was being interviewed the artist drew this of me!

10. HEADPHONES
My beloved Sony headphones, that I have had since my Ryerson days, broke. So one day I fished a pair of WestJest headphones out from my purse from a recent flight and haven’t bothered to replace them. They get made fun of. A lot.
