beeeeep!
Done Some Packing
The garage loft, where all the books and toys of YesterYear (tm) have been stored for an age, has been cleared out and yes, even vacuumed. Not by me; I'm not that anal about cleaning.
I've actually thrown a lot of my old toys away now: Action Men without heads and their broken vehicles; an utterly filthy Millenium Falcon and X-Wing; Zoids without all their parts; fragments of Action Force vehicles and their endless collections of small plastic guns; little toy cars. That kind of thing. Some stuff I've kept, though, just to keep them.
If my brother was around while we were doing this, he'd be keeping everything. Every last thing, down to the tiniest widget or broken plastic wotsit. He's like that. I'm far more ruthless with regards to crap I've not seen for over a decade and wouldn't really miss.
I've packed away some of my books, too. It's scary sometimes how many I have, and I haven't even done them all yet. We're operating on a plan of splitting stuff between 'needed now or soon' and 'stored away till we have the space'. Most of my books, so far, have fallen into the second category. I'm planning on having a big tall bookcase in my new room, but since I've not even seen the place yet it's just pure speculation.

Oooh, bookcase!
I have one in my room, but, sadly, its balance is out of whack. Therefore, I can't actually put many books in my bookcase. I have stacks over yonder across the room. It's such a sad lamentation, is it not? :P
