Tapestry, yeah, that does take me back...
I don't know the Mynabirds or La Sera; will have to check them out.

Love The Mynabirds. We have the album, "What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood" We are the same way with music. Still love our "oldies" - truly too I love all music and we have a collection that contains a bit of everything. We also love discovering new music - as long as it isn't the regular rotation generic crap on the radio today which for the most part sucks. Thanks for the links - will check them out! It took me several listens to like Gotye but it's not so bad and actually growing on me. :)

It's a vicious circle, isn't it? Oh well, it's sort of like a "Reset" button in the game of life.

No, not so much. It's been on my mind for a long time. I had gotten my "value" out of finding and reading the comics. Many were fun, but I've narrowed my collecting interests and have a more manageable and directed collection now. This is a Good Thing.

I'm good at throwing things away, once I get started. Getting started, that's the problem. Lazy ofttimes takes precedence or control.

That's about the size house we'd like to move into. I think it'd be akin to a miracle. We have too much space and too much stuff as it is...

And yes, change can be good.

Best thing we EVER did was get rid of a LOT of shit when we moved overseas. I remember only missing one or two things after that $2,000 tag sale. We are back now, and of course we have lots of shit again. Phhfftt.

If I was closer, I would help out! I am something of a moving veteran even though I am still considered fairly young But I really admire you for your determination to downsize and declutter - was it painful cutting down your comic collection? I am horrible at throwing things away. But as everyone has said, change can be wonderful and you have most certainly seized this particular bull by the horns.

Love this! Of course, being a big fan of weird, I HAD to read it once I saw the title. Talk about a hook! ;)
I'll have to look into "The Brain Eaters" now. Selling the bike must be a major thing for you, even if you know you'll never ride it again. It will probably be a good thing when it's gone; closure and all that. Good luck with your move! Thanks for this little peek into your "weird" day.

i am like michael, working on downsizing, discarding, etc. we've been here 26 years, in a very tiny 1100 square foot house, half of which is one room upstairs that is my son's room. so... very tiny. downsizing is an ongoing process, for every new thing that comes in, something else must go out. moving is a big change, but change is good. right?

There were times I sort of felt like a spectator in my own life that day. It was sort of strange. What sort of things did your thinking about husbands and wives did your thinking lead you to?

Re: Surreality, with a chance of Weird in today’s forecast…

Mark — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:38:53 -0000

I felt a bit violated by the librarian routine. Especially as a way to sell glasses...maybe I'm just getting curmudgeonly as I age. Or becoming my father.

Thanks. It'll be strange but great when it's done...

Mark — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:37:51 -0000

Stupid cat....and yeah, well the Bike needs to go. I would like it gone and the money would be nice. And yeah, it's all sorts of strange right now. Thanks....

I think I shall expand upon the Husbands and Wives thing at a later date. It seems to have resonated, but I have reasons why I think this to be.

And thanks, you're always welcome.

Thanks, Tracy....

I do tend to keep a fair amount to myself. I so don't want to be a burden to others...and I tend to think of my life as fairly mundane.

Re: Surreality, with a chance of Weird in today’s forecast…

Mark — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:34:50 -0000

I hope you do no more than IMDB The Brain Eaters....it was wretched....

Re: Surreality, with a chance of Weird in today’s forecast…

There are so many books, it's hard to know where to start and where to finish.

Re: Surreality, with a chance of Weird in today’s forecast…

Mark — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:33:46 -0000

Of course, Connie. I would be honored and thrilled if you wish to do that. Thank You!

Re: Moving

Mark — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:22:19 -0000

Well, since you're visiting have a cup of coffee. Ketchup for it is on the table!

Re: Moving

Mark — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:21:41 -0000

Lots of life, is what you mean. Memories, treasures, forgotten letters and bills...and broken Christmas decorations you never got around to fixing....yeah, I know and understand about the time involved...

Re: Moving

Mark — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:19:17 -0000

Ah yes, the Great Book Purge. I took the easy way out and trundled them off to the local used book store. A grand pile, it was....

But I'm wanting to live a life where I define my "stuff" and my "stuff" doesn't define me. And I'd hate to be a candidate for that awful show, "Hoarders"

What a wonderful gift, this BOX of trivia. Many thanks...
