What's in your closet?

I was browsing Craftster a while back and someone made a thread asking:

What's in your costume closet?


How do you organize your costume closet?

I built a lava-heated onsen.

Some people build some truly epic stuff in minecraft. There are lots of tutorials and demo videos on youtube, and a thriving forum where people post ideas and give feedback about the game. It can really suck you in and is great for people of all ages.
So that's what I've been doing six hours a day for the past two weeks...
