If you've been in my house recently and come upstairs, you may have noticed the bookshelf in the hallway with a precarious stack of books and boxes on top of a full shelf of manga. That's in addition to the disaster area in the bonus room in front of the bookshelves. (I did eventually find the Abmeldungsding I was looking for! I moved it to where I thought it should have been, so I'll be able to find it again later.)
Ben sent email to the comic shop asking if they wanted to take any of our used manga off our hands. We're offloading 75 volumes of manga and artbooks, mostly in complete sets or large portions. (I still plan to list the books I have for sale here. I just need to work out a pricing scheme.) They give store credit at a pretty good rate, so we won't have to pay for manga for several months. (Mostly, we're getting 20th Century Boys, Ooku, and whatever Ben's reading these days that's still running. Moyashimon, if Kodansha renews the US release after cancelling their entire contract with Del Rey...)
So that cleared off a good portion of that shelf in the hall, so the precarious stack is now integrated into the shelves. Which is good, because it was starting to get kind of scary.
The bookshelf in my room/office is kind of a wreck, and I'll get to that someday. If Ben ever gets around to sorting his Magic cards and selling some of them. It's mostly full of pharmacy books, which are more or less useful on occasion.
I'd like to sort through the closets, take old clothes to the thrift shop. There's one not half a mile from my house. I've heard that larger sizes are hard to find there, especially in business casual styles. I've got some size 12 and 14 things that don't fit me anymore and that I don't wear (partly because they don't fit; partly because I don't go to work regularly), and someone else could use them.
It's shocking how much Kram two people can accumulate in ten years. Especially if one of them is a packrat who doesn't get rid of anything, ever.
