another thing

verbicideToday really didn't suck.
I got up, fixated on the tv, and got everything to work. TiVo, vcr, dvd, ps2. RAWR! I am somewhat startled we left the house today. Or ever.
We went to a storage boxes store in U Village where we got some nice red boxes for cds, and a big woven basket for vhs tapes. We went to Target and bought some cubes for my dvds and a linen loveseat slipcover, drill bits, and this really pretty black wooden box with flowers painted on it (can't describe, must show), another cube storage thing for discs in my office, and a little square dish with a dragonfly on it.
I took my dad out to lunch at CPK and then we trundled home to assemble things.
AND, I unpacked 9 boxes of books, while my dad hung up the mirror on the back of my bedroom door. (So now I can be appalled in full-length!)
I also realized how much I don't want some of my old books and vhs tapes (that I am never going to read or watch again). But I don't feel any clingy need to hold onto them. So once things here are completely unpacked, it's going to be off to Twice Sold Tales and the library donation bin. I can't imagine anyone wants my vhs tapes of Terminator (I and II), Goodfellas, or the Lethal Weapon movies, but I'll make a post and send out an email just in case.
And my god, will I ever read the Wheel of Time again? No. I hate it now. Hate. I'm not going to re-read it. I'm not remotely interested in those characters anymore. I should give up that boxful of books already.
I think I'm going to take a stab at selling trade paperbacks of comics I'm never going to read again. In particular, Preacher, which upon re-read I've decided I don't like. And maybe Astro City, which I do like, but not enough to likely read again. Though I almost feel I should try re-reading them again to remember how much I liked them and maybe not want to sell them. Because that makes sense.
I think I'm going to go back to the storage box place when I've sussed out what's staying and what's going, because I'd like to find better ways to house the stuff I decide to keep. Also, motherfucker do I need more bookshelves. My two puny shelves are bursting. I think I'd just been piling all new books next to my bed, so when I tried to fit them all into the shelves...it was not so much gonna happen.
