The Unthinkable

[mandysee_mandydo]

We're moving into a much smaller apartment, so we've been going through our packed boxes and getting rid of stuff. Today we did something that some might think was unthinkable for us: we weeded through games and got rid of some. I know. It's unthinkable! Actually it was all old run-of-the-mill American family game type stuff that we pretty much never play, like Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly. Meh. We'll do fine without. Besides, who needs Monopoly when one has Anti-Monopoly! Also, and probably even harder to do and not so happy, I've resolved to get rid of my entire vinyl collection and turntable. We just don't have the room and I went almost two years without even hooking up the turntable, nevermind listening to vinyl. All of this stuff is going to the SKUUF yard sale, so at least it'll help raise money for the fellowship.

I'd be the most appreciative person EVER if you'd think about selling that turntable to me...I really wanna give my dad one since we broke his old one, and he has all these old records that I know he's been dying to listen to.

Gah!

When I read the title, I was SURE you were cutting your music collection. Then I read that you got rid of the more boring ( ;) ) games, and was "phew".

Then you mentioned the vinyl, and I was "NNNNOOOOO!!!!" all over again.

Sadly, yes. I really need to get rid of it. We're just not going to have the space and I really don't listen to it enough to justify keeping it. Hopefully someone else gets the enjoyment out of it that I did. I don't think there's much in there that isn't replaceable, except maybe some of the Beatles stuff, which I may keep. There's a lot of classical, including a whole set of albums conducted by Arthur Fiedler. The Fiedler stuff might not be so replaceable, but the reality is that classical sells so little that you can find an abundance of it for real cheap on CD, so I'm sure I can at least find other performances of the same pieces real easy. Perhaps not with some of the same great conductors and performers, but still...

And yeah, the games we got rid of were very much boring indeed. We realized we were holding onto them more for the "joy" of having a big game collection rather than because we actually enjoyed playing them.
