The people we bought our house from had a three-foot photo-oil painting of the wife in her wedding gown hanging above the master bed.
I didn't know Ayn Rand had owned a home in the Bay Area!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Up with the sun
I feel like I should remember when my brother was born -- I was three and two months -- but I don't. I remember a few things from being three and four, like preschool, and learning how to read, but I don't really remember my brother until he was old enough to play with.
Also, my work desktop is a repeating orange pattern that came as a default with the Mac. I keep meaning to change it, but I keep not doing so. Inertia rules my world. At home, I have a picture of All That You Can't Leave Behind-era U2.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My wallpaper is a photo of my siblings, at work. At home, it is still a photo from the Red Sox winning the World Series, because I have not gotten around to changing it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Changing my wallpaper is one of the things I can't do on my work computer. Restricted access, baby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Changeing my wallpaper is one of the things I can't do on my work computer.
In theory I can't. But I can replace the whatever.bmp it goes back to on rebooting with my own BMP file, and I do. First Legolas, then the Batman Begins poster, and now Wondie.

My current work desktop is the Lost cast silhouetted against a stormy sky with the title in big translucent letters.
Home desktop is an incredibly hot friend suntanning bareassed on a floaty raft.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I need a new wallpaper for my work computer. My old monitor only went up to 1024x780, but my current one's 1280x1024, and I don't like seeing the edges of my desktop image.

I've found that Windows does a pretty good job of stretching and compressing within reasonable boundaries -- have you given that a shot?
I can't find much that fills my entire desktop (2048x1536) without outside assistance. Or even gets close.

Work wallpaper is a picture of the kids all dressed up. Home laptop is a picture of *memfault* glacier I took last year on our cruise to Alaska. Both are pictures that I love, love, love and beat hands down the ugly work logo wallpaper that we're supposed to use..ugh
