I wouldn't say I'm in mid-life crisis mode but I have been on a tear lately to declutter the garage, closets, etc. The past few weekends I weeded out the DVD and CD collection. Shortly after Jan. 1, I got rid of old clothes that don't fit or never wear and books that I've already read but don't care to keep. Goodwill has been getting quite a bit of stuff from us lately.

I got rid of the majority of my Clix collection a few years back and still purge it periodically of stuff that I don't want/use. Now I'm just collecting figures for specific teams. The Mister Miracle/Big Barda Justice League lineups, for example.

I've played, like, one game of X-Wing in the past six months so I'm eliminating some of the ships I don't want and sticking only to stuff that's appeared in the films. I've used the Outrider once and I've never run E-Wings. And I don't need two Sabine's TIEs. The new Rebel bomber is a tempting purchase but not if my playing time ends up being sparse.

Cutting down the comic collection is going to be a bit tougher and time-consuming, though. What I can't sell, I'll donate to the children's hospital, schools or the Ronald McDonald House.

So, you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlors...

So, you're saying that you're behind this?

I'm trying to convince myself I do not need cases or boxes for my DVDs and that a big album works. But the nerd in me wants all those Superfriends boxes.

Great idea!

That implies I left.

I recently did a collection cull on some toys. burned close to 20 dc classics figures on ebay and used some of that money to get started collecting the vintage super powers figures.

Still thinking of liquidating the clix as best i can.

work issue had me up til after 2 last night - been working on it again all day... im so tired

YOU CAN TOTALLY DO IT!!!!!!!!

The Floridian Rat God needs tithing and its Pumpkin Spice drinking, Pandora bracelet wearing followers need to feel the warmth of his sun-kissed love.

Get back to work. If you need me for support, I'm right here. It is a small world after all.

And she's a Small Wonder!

You should take a vacation. Have you thought about Disney?

Yeah, have you chosen the Rat as your lord and savior?

rats for the rat god?

That's why I can't stay mad at you, baby.

How long can this go on?

I learned how to use the super sweet new laminator by myself at the elementary school today!! I laminated 2 science posters and when nobody else was around, did 3 heroclix maps. Even though I rarely play anymore, I think I only have about 5 maps that aren't laminated out of all the DC and Marvel and CL's and Grid reality Maps of the past 12 years or so. WTF I am ever going to do with those I have no idea.

But now I can have really sweet laminated maps to not use!!
