• More Cold Storage Update

  Wednesday I had the pleasure of meeting a guy named Mike.

  He responded to my craigslist ad about getting rid of all my computer junk.

  After it was all done, I wished I'd taken pictures of the van, loaded down with all manner of obsolete computer crap. But I didn't. I had to add some air to the tires, which might tell you a little bit about how much stuff there was. Reinforced tires r00l.

  It took me and Mike about 8-10 trips each to put it all in his house. Mike was a nice guy. His wife was very patient, and the cats kept trying to get out. And every time they'd try and get out, his wife would yell, "No!" and the cat would look sheepish (a small irony in itself). So that's somewhere between 16-20 shouts of sublimated frustration.

  And I must say this: Mike's storage room is worse than mine was before I cleaned it out. I mean, before we started moving in, there was so much stuff...

  But I hope Mike does well with it. Good luck, Mr. Mike. And farewell, all ye computer crap!

  Also: I've been wanting to put this up, because it's so completely badass, but never found the right spot. So I degree it thus: This is the right spot for 'Level 5' from King Crimson.

  I realize I'm on a King Crimson jag at the moment, but you'll just have to bear with me, wontcha?
