What an endeavor! I found (aside from literal, actual junk and clothes, which is what's in there now) the following:
my iPod, which I'd been missing for months
a completely unscathed pair of fucking glasses (the prescription seems to be correct too)
my tape player/dubber. With a copy of One Second by Yello inside (you may know them as the guys behind the song "Oh Yeah", which is on this album).
my shortwave radio which has been busted for a long time unfortunately.
about two to three dozen CDs I burned at some point a few years ago. Everything from Dazzle Ships by Orchestral Manouvres in the Dark to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. Fun fact, one also contains my own Lightex Tapes, to continue the "me finding my old music" theme from the other day.
a small tiki statue I bought a few years ago on vacation in Ocean City, Maryland.
a plastic skull
the cases (but not the actual games) for Pokemon White, Pokemon Black 2, and The Battle for Middle Earth II. That LoTR RTS.
several paintings I made for art class in middle school (lord were those dark times). One is of a badass panther.
postcards and photos from a trip I took to Philadelphia with my mom in 6th grade
a broken calculator
about fifty pens and pencils
a copy of Inception on DVD, from fucking Blockbuster (I have never seen the movie Inception).

"Our understanding of the war has been overlaid by misunderstandings, and misrepresentations which reflect an, at best, ambiguous attitude to this country and, at worst, an unhappy compulsion on the part of some to denigrate virtues such as patriotism, honour and courage. The conflict has, for many, been seen through the fictional prism of dramas such as Oh! What a Lovely War, The Monocled Mutineer and Blackadder, as a misbegotten shambles – a series of catastrophic mistakes perpetrated by an out-of-touch elite. Even to this day there are Left-wing academics all too happy to feed those myths."

More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
LOL some of these consumer reviews on Amazon are like they were written by idiots bred on mainstream console gaming. A shmup is *supposed* to be short enough to play through in one sitting. It's *supposed* to be challenging. God, if people play games for mindless fetch-questing and hour-long cut-scenes, why didn't they look at the back of the box before they bought the game? Judge a game on its own terms, not IGN's. I just want to find out what features are included in these editions but instead half of what I am reading is moronic drivel. ._.

hehe, I'm getting that impression. ^_^ Anyway!! If these Japanese Cave imports were not so expensive I would buy them all. There are English-language versions of three of them though that are more reasonably priced and two of them are on sale. :o
Certainly, we can admire the application for its survival, an anachronism of the now defunct '90s PC era, a pre-Web program written at a time when NT Server terrorized the data center landscape with the confidence of a T. rex born to yuppie dinosaur parents who fully bought into the illusion of their son's utter uniqueness because the big-mouthed, tiny-armed monster infant could mimic the gestures of the Itsy-Bitsy Pterodactyl.
this is from a company email from Yahoo! to its employees trying to get the latter to use the company's own email service.
For others, you might now be running in your head to a well worn path of justified resistance, phoning up the ol’ gang, circling the hippocampian wagons of amygdalian resistance. Hold on a sec, pilgrim.
Earlier this year we asked you to move to Yahoo Mail for your corporate email account. 25% of you made the switch (thank you). But even if we used the most generous of grading curves (say, the one from organic chemistry), we have clearly failed in our goal to move our co-workers to Yahoo Mail.
It’s time for the remaining 75% to make the switch. Beyond the practical benefits of giving feedback to your colleagues on the Mail team, as a company it’s a matter of principle to use the products we make. (BTW, same for Search.)
For some reading this email, you are saying, “Jeff, shut up, you had me at hello.” *hug* Jump over to yo/dogfood, click “Corp Mail/Cal/ Messenger” and you are ready to join our brave new world at yo/corpmail or https://mail.yahoo-inc.com.

First, it doesn’t feel like we are asking you to abandon some glorious place of communications nirvana. At this point in your life, Outlook may be familiar, which we can often confuse with productive or well designed. Certainly, we can admire the application for its survival, an anachronism of the now defunct 90s PC era, a pre-web program written at a time when NT Server terrorized the data center landscape with the confidence of a T-Rex born to yuppie dinosaur parents who fully bought into the illusion of their son’s utter uniqueness because the big-mouthed, tiny-armed monster infant could mimic the gestures of The Itsy-Bitsy Pterodactyl. There was a similar outcry when we moved away from Outlook’s suite-mates in the Microsoft Office dreadnaught. But whether it’s familiarity, laziness or simple stubbornness dressed in a cloak of Ayn Randian Objectivism, the time has come to move on, commrade [sic...go deep in this pun, it is layered].
Using corp mail from the Y Mail web interface is remarkably feature rich. It supports booking conference rooms, folders, calendar, filters and global address book. Plus, you get built-in Messenger, smart conversation threading, powerful keyboard shortcuts, the new quick actions, attachment preview and our beautiful new rich themes. In the rare case you do need Outlook, like adding a delegate for your calendar, you can still fire up Outlook for 30 seconds.
But wait there’s more. By using corporate Mail, you’ll automatically get to dogfood our new features first. I’m especially excited about a new feature premiering in just a few more days: smart auto-suggest, powered by a platform from the still-have-that-new-acquisition-smell Xobni team. We have been testing this feature with select users in and out of the company and the response has been fantastic: “Whoa!”, “Amazing”, “Already in love with it. Woot!” and, my favorite, “So nicely integrated that it appears as if it’s always been there. I already can’t imagine it not being there again.”
Feeling that little tingle? Take a deep breath, you can do this. We want you on board, sailor!
Please note, on the mobile side, corp mail is not yet supported in our Mail app for Android or iOS, but that will change (PB&J!). And, like all dogfood offerings, there is a feedback link in the product. Use it generously so we can make the improvements to make Yahoo Mail the unquestioned inbox champion of the world. I pitty [sic] the fool who resists.
Thanks for your support. It really does matter and we appreciate it.
although this doesn't sound as good on headphones as it does over the car radio (something weird is up with the kick drums but I can't place what exactly).
i have scored the old hand-knit Dale of Norway hand knit sweater w/ silver clasps that my dad bought for the woman he cheated with my mother on with while they were dating
it's luxe as fuck, fits nice too
so i guess this trip has been worthwhile after all

Weird choice? I dunno

I need to clean more often.
you can't exactly tell, but this is The Lightex Tapes.
No metadata on any of these songs, which sucks, because I don't remember what any were called.
that's interesting.
OK 2011 me, whatever you say.
I've been lookin' for that.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
I often wonder who these random-ass people are who like my stuff on Soundcloud. My first inclination is "bots".

Jeez.
I don't regret it mind, but it made no sense at the time.
remember when M.I.A. made good music
I have never figured out if her moniker is supposed to stand for "Missing in Action" or something else.

if the entirety of PRISM sounds like this it's a great album, but I know it doesn't.
