1 window seat emptied

I had etiquette, games, and humor shelved in the front. I don't think they're all going to make it to the new place. If anone wants a copy of Coyote v. Acme, let me know.

Inside were the old books with our relatives' names written inside, the fragile ones wrapped in newspaper. I'm keeping those. I'm just not sure where.


Today's earrings: fire extinguishers, fire trucks

Giveaway, Part 2

VHS tapes! Yes, most of them are home recordings of Survivor. But! There's also a copy of Dogma and part of a box set of The Avengers.

Does anyone still pay for vinyl?


Today's earrings: lizards, rocks

Reptiles & Samurai

I was in the break room with the newspaper when a coworker walked in, asked what I was reading. The review of the Police show, I told her. She asked if I was a fan. I told her I was a sophmore in high school in 1983, and what choice did I have? I asked what she was doing in '83, and she said she was two years old and not really tuned in to the radio. She wanted to know if I as into "80s music," and I didn't really know what to say to that. It's the music of my youth. Some of it I still love, some of it still sucks. She wanted to know my favorite band of the time. I mentioned Oingo Boingo... and the name rang no bells for her. I told her Elfman wrote the theme for Futurama. [Looked it up - I was wrong. He wrote the Simpsons theme. Sue me.]

Poor girl lacks Boingo, though, and that's just not good. I should bring her some.

Oddly, I was thinking of an Oingo Boingo tune when I put in my earrings this morning:
Reptiles have silly grins
Dark eyes--shiny teeth--some have fins
Samurai they smile never
Serious--pretty swords--very clever


Today's earrings: swords, alligators
