Describe for me a 10 X 10 room

nice.

What is the CR of a plastic orc, anyway?

I'm fairly certain there's a card that has that information on it, but it won't fit inside a room two squares by two squares...

My players dislike long descriptions, which is fine by me, since I'm not very good at them. I've tried writing the descriptions down before and reading them to the players, but they either get bored or interrupt me with questions before I'm done.

which is fine. since you are refereeing for a group game.

practice in front of a mirror. much like standup comedians do.

Second this, break your description into parts: 1st what the players see in entering the room, 2nd: greater visual detail (bullete items), 3rd: Search detail. You stop until the players continue.
