yah lah. kid. tchk.

was it yumei saying “throw throw throw” or was it you? because yumei simslike the sensible type who might make sensible (yet brutal) judgements on throwawayability. whereas you, INSANIA, might lie on the bed and read magazines all afternoon, and then when we go out to dinner there will be a layer of magazines over everything.

yumei’s theory from my freshman year was to sit on my bed and say, as i held up things, my things, “throw. throw. throw.” i guess that is the same theory as trash you don’t know. because, y’know, one person’s four-year collection of magazines… so, i come lah, we, um, throw. HNGH!

gem: also, i’ve found that an impending sprog and the space *that* would require has quite a catalystic effect on the “hmm gotta chuck out some stuff” mode.

hikaru: sadly (though really, happily) my home and work space are meshed into one. bedsheets on the shelf above past projects etc. i do agree with your “trash you don’t know” theory though. i’m sure if i were brutal enough to not peruse the magazines, i would have four empty shelves in no time at all.

i “solved” the problem by just having my dozen subscriptions delivered to work. when the stack gets unbearable, i just throw it into a shipping box and bury it in some corner of my office.

i’ve got two years of such archived. i think i will have to chuck them away soon. instead of sorting through them, i’ll just stick a little Trash sticker on the box and Bam, problem solved. trash you don’t know won’t hurt you.

The only way to really get rid of those cities of ancient print media is to move house. I have had to move five times in the last two years and culled my precious skerricks out of necessity. It’s hard, isn’t it? Like having to chuck your favourite shoes cos you’ve been in denial amount their imminent demise ever since you started feeling the bitumen scraping your big toenail…
