AMF: You Little Wankers

Hey folks! I hope everyone's had a fantastic week. This post will be fairly brief. I'm in the midst of cleaning a lot of extraneous crap out of my childhood bedroom so that my folks can start looking into remodeling it. It hasn't had a major remodel in more than twenty years, and when they did that one they were making it a kids' room. I have a tendency to keep things that don't really need to be kept, and some of the items I've found in here have been fascinating. Just to name a few:

college recruitment literature, circa 1999

[Generic State University] fraternity recruitment literature, circa Summer 2000

Linksys ethernet card, purchased Fall term 2000 (for fraternity life), never installed, still in original shrink wrap

four boxes (two hundred rounds) of 9mm ammunition

two pistol magazines

many, many pieces of ROTC paperwork, including a sheet that likely constituted the only formal orders I ever received

Needless to say, it's been a trip down memory lane. I'm making slow progress, but slow progress is more than I've been able to accomplish in the nearly three years since I left [Hometown], or any time before. Once I get back to Van Diemen's Station, I want to do a similar process in order to scrape out stuff that I've been carting across the country for three years now. Mrs. Mike Nelson and I have actually discussed the benefits of simplifying one's life, and liquidating crap that you don't need to keep around is a good step in that direction.

Speaking of Mrs. Mike Nelson, she watches the following video at her own peril - although given her peculiar sense of humor, she might actually appreciate it. Either way, you've all been warned.

I have a few stories to share, but I'm going to save them so that I have something to post on Monday. I hope everyone has an excellent weekend!
