Ah, the minor hurdles.

per_soloI'm a packrat.
Yes, many of you know that, and yes, it is a quirk I find annoying at times.
No where do I think that more evident than in my comic books (Shhh, those of you looking at my DVD habits).
So, before the move, I did a huge feat..got rid of 2 boxes of comics (I think, I'm not remembering it too well, it may have been three, but it was at least two).
Today, I took essentially 4 and a half boxes, pulled some out for nephew, and ended up taking 3 long boxes, and one short box, into the comic shop. Stuff I hadn't read in years, stuff I'll not read again, ever, and some stuff that made me go "WTF?? Why the hell did I buy this?"
Net result, I have 3/4 of a long box that I brought home (some very beat up comics in there, but most of it safe for the nephew when I give him what now amounts to a full long box of comics), and had a decent amount of credit at the store. So, I bought a few Trade Paperbacks (including a new Hellboy one that goes to Desidera when I'm done with it), and the Rising Stars Hardcover, that has ALL of Rising Stars in it. And, I have enough left on the card to get the Sandman Re-mastered book, when they get it in.
Course, now that means I need to find a home for the Sandman TPBs, but that's a GOOD thing.
Condensing things in life. Right now, aside from one obvious, I have very few complaints.
