post 342. consolidation and simplification, part 2.
i've been working at record archive since mid-1999. before that i had been working at 90.5 fm wber, volunteering in various late-night dj slots. with those two positions, i've accumulated an obscene amount of cds. i remember a friend of mine in new orleans - the esteemed kevin law - who worked at blockbuster music and had a collection of cds that was downright criminal; so while i didn't have that, the thought of having to cut down my cd collection to fighting weight is a tough task. i mean, there's sentimental value, i-still-haven't-listened-to-this value, and i-might-need-this-in-the-future-in-order-to-make-the-ultimate-mix-tape value.
a lot of variables. once, when talking about getting rid of cds with the unmatchable mark "shark" rapone, we talked about what a writhing, painful task it is to get rid of cds; for some, books are tough to get rid of. for music geeks, even the dangerman cd you got just becasue you liked one song they played when they opened for fun lovin' criminals in 1998 is a battle of inner sentiments.

ok. easy, right? now i can just weed out everything...else...wait. i have to keep all - all, that is - of this fun lovin' criminals. and all - all, that is - of this ministry. and the hives. and so on.
enter the g5 imac. i've been burning everything into the computer, and plan to back it all up on an external hard drive. it's a little easier on the conscious, but, well, at least i still get to keep that one dangerman song.

post 339. consolidation and simplification, part 1.
i have too much stuff. i'm like my mom in this respect. a class-1 pack rat. an entire childhood of allowances spent on g.i. joes, christmases of star wars, and birthdays of everything else. so with my impending move to lake george, i've decided - much like i did with my comic books a few months ago - it's time to purge. so i opened up the closet, and dug out the grande-sized rubbermaid containers that hold all the toys that made it. in other words, my toy boxes.

jesus.
my first rule: all the action figures i keep. starbuck from the original (and far superior) battlestar galactica, charley pizer from disney's the black hole, peter venkmann from the ghostbusters...they're easy to put in a little box.

wow. did you know i was single? as if the general nature of this blog post didn't give it away in the first place.

after a few hours i was able to separate all the star wars stuff, then i stood there looking at it all for about fifteen minutes. frustrated at the sheer volume, i dumped it all back into the containers and put them back in the closet.
this is going to take more resolve than i thought.

post 338. doodling.
having bought paul pope's batman year 100, it inspired me to get back into drawing, doodling, and generally relaxing with a pen and some paper every now and then. i drew this and then scanned it, messing around with shading in photoshop. pretty crude, but fun to do. and lights years away from paul pope.
