Dear world,
Please stop selling us stuff. If nothing else, this move has proven to me that Laura and I have way, way, way too much of it. I am officially considering a moratorium on purchasing all new non-essential media and other stuff until I have successfully consumed and/or experienced everything currently in the house, which includes piles of unread books, unwatched DVDs (primarily TV series on DVD that I’d found great deals on – $20 a season is my ‘sweet spot’, or more accurately, my ‘sucker spot’), and unplayed games. Seriously, I probably have enough media stockpiled in here to last me until 2008.
And I’m still not done unloading the old apartment. Good grief. Instead of selling us more stuff, please send assistance. Mayday, mayday – drowning in boxes, please send pie.
Best,
Geoff and Laura
