Clean ... SOME OF the things.
9 Oct 2011 04:06 pmAnyone who's been in my house and seen the 4th bedroom/bonus room/Ben's room is probably familiar with the massive clutter on the floor in front of the bookshelves. Today I decided to go through it. I was looking for something (the piece of paper that proves I de-registered with the police in Marburg in 1997, which I may need to take to the police in Berlin in the event Operation: Move to Berlin actually happens). I didn't find it, though I found the paper I wrote for the end of the literature class I took, the Scheine from the classes I took in Marburg, and all of my notes (in German), a bunch of xeroxed things from my classes at JC, all the papers from the non-chemistry classes I took in Marburg, a stack of fanzines, and my notes from The Medieval Mind (fall 1995 I think).
I had trouble reaching that shelf because of all the books stacked in front of it, but also because of the huge plastic bag (with giant hole in the bottom which Claire chewed) full of calendars and assorted other things. So I sorted through that, then went through my shelves and put books away. Some I pulled off because I didn't like them all that much; some I pulled unread. I have a few non-fiction health policy books, and I've attempted to read one of them. It's really damn dry, and I'm never going to get through it. Then I pulled more books and shelved more books, and I have a couple boxes of books I would like to sell. I'll catalog them and list them here so my friends can have first dibs.
Anyway, now it's possible to walk up to my second bookshelf. Nonfiction, Literatyoor, foreign language, and reference are still pretty inaccessible (or require a bit of gymnastic ability), but my genre fiction is reachable. And double-stacked in some places. I really need to scan the bazillion old photos in boxes and albums, and possibly scan the negatives. My old Mini has the scanner drivers and photoshop elements; I have no idea if the MacBook can talk to the scanner. I can boot up the Mini and play with that at some point.
I'm not sure what to do with them after that: list on ebay or sell through Amazon. Does anyone have experience with either of these? I listed some stuff on ebay once, like 5 years ago, but I've never done that on Amazon.
Notes on the beer festival later!
