Slimming down
The past two Sundays, I threw out a pile of garbage the size of a Lincoln town car. Our new apartment will not have an attic, and any occasion to move is a good time to get rid of dead weight. I dithered on discarding a lot of my comics, but for now they will come with me. It's interesting to see which objects you keep, and which ones you pitch. The journal and collage book from one of my stalkers? Gone. My old bank statement book. Keep.
It seems like an odd choice, but it turned out to be an interesting read. In between the rent checks and bills were entries about concerts, movies, and really large CD purchases from Digital Underground. Several times there was funny commentary (Chris' got a brand new bag.... HEY!) There are only months and days listed, no years. However, I can date it by seeing when films like the Matrix or the Messenger were released. Sometimes all it takes is one word to spark a memory, to see where I was in the days of yore. Before livejournal, there was my checkbook.
