hoarders, craigslist, etc.

I have gone through all my possessions and gotten rid of all the extra things with the exception of:

1. babylon 5, seasons 1-4 on dvd.
2. the 1999 edition of Diplomacy with metal pieces, new in wrapper with small rip in bottom of box.
3. a parcheesi game, new in wrapper.

these are all things that i was craigslisting that the people didn't come pick up yet. I'm going to relist them today and hope to get someone buying last minute christmas gifts. The diplomacy game in particular was a long interaction with the comic book guy from the simpsons that almost resulted in the guy's throat being slit. i'm craigslisting them relatively cheap because i want done with this process and hope to pick up people looking for a late christmas present. The diplo game is one that hardcore boardgamers want to own because of the metal pieces (it's the 1999 hasbro edition), but the actual opportunity cost of using ebay is high so i've been trying to sell it locally. Unfortunately, the whiny passive-aggressive loser quotient is really high on cap hill.

The beginning of this process was several months ago talking with cirocco about the show 'Hoarders,' which is generally a horrible horrible show. I have been slowly going through things since then organizing stuff and I have thrown away, donated, or craiglisted probably 2-3 truckloads full of stuff. I now have several empty containers that used to contain random stuff and are now used for storing other empty containers. It's overall less crowded in my apartment.

The thing that I haven't gone through as of yet are clothes. I've lost 50 pounds in the last several months and I'm unsure of what to do with all the extra clothing. I'm also very low on clothes that actually fit, especially good shirts. I'm going to go through some of that this weekend after xmas. Also, I still have too much shit in the kitchen but a lot of it is duplicates that i picked up at bm from someone and i'm going to be giving it back to them.
