Letter From God

I want an alligator costume with a pouch. This is also more evidence that “Planet Telex” might be the most perfect remixable song ever.

History with an Aerial View

This is the park part of my family owns.

It looks dour in winter. I spent most of my time there in the summer, either working for my dad at the pool complex or eating tri-taters (triangular hashbrowns) and going in the haunted house ride.

It never occurred to me to look for it on Google Maps until I helped my boss plan a sidetrip there for her upcoming family vacation.

What strange place did you grow up in or near? What does it look like from the air?

Stuff: Reduxe

August 7th, 2008

While I get things working again, let’s return to the real reason for this blog: Me getting rid of stuff.

Here’s what’s left that hasn’t been spoken for or already given to a new loving home:
Furniture/Big Stuff:

  • Orange corduroy armchair
  • Tan loveseat with blue and red stitching
  • dark green Ikea computer desk: about 30-1/2in. wide by 20in. deep; it’s got a scratch along the top, received on its first trip home; it’s the 4-year-old version of this desk
  • 26in. analog TV (no remote)
  • sewing table: 33in. wide by 20in. deep

Kitchen:

  • 3-piece blue Pyrex mixing/baking bowl set
  • wire utensil basket

Media:

  • First gen Playstation with 2 standard controllers
  • First gen Playstation games Gran Turismo 2 (with one UltraRacer controller), Syphon Filter 2 (with strategy guide), Hot Shots Golf 2, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee (with strategy guide), and Final Fantasy VII

Miscellaneous:

  • 4 plastic crates, 3 with hanging folder ridges
  • 24in.x36in. frame (still in plastic)
  • A number of Rubbermaid bins of various sizes, all with lids: three 10-gallon bins (one shallow and two deep), two 18-gallon bins, one 38-quart bin, and one clear 60-quart bin

As before, items that aren’t spread around will go to PTO Thrift Shop, Purple Heart, or just the sidewalk.

Let’s try this again.

Things I’m Getting Rid Of

August 3rd, 2008

I am moving to a new apartment between August 15th and 20th and I have some things I don’t want to take with me.

If you want any of these things, or have any questions about them, send me an email at stuff [at] dpersing [dot] com.

Furniture/Big Stuff:

  • Orange corduroy armchair
  • Tan loveseat with blue and red stitching
  • dark green Ikea computer desk: about 30 1/2″ wide by 20″ deep; it’s got a scratch along the top; the 4-year-old version of this desk
  • 26″ analog TV (no remote)
  • sewing table: 33″ wide by 20″ deep

Kitchen:

  • 3-piece blue Pyrex mixing/baking bowl set
  • wire utensil basket

Media:

  • First gen Playstation with 2 standard controllers and one UltraRacer controller
  • First gen Playstation games: Gran Turismo 2, Syphon Filter 2 (with strategy guide), Hot Shots Golf 2, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee (with strategy guide), and Final Fantasy VII

Miscellaneous:

  • 24″x36″ frame (still in plastic)
  • A number of Rubbermaid bins of various sizes

I don’t have particular designs for any of these things except for the loveseat and the armchair; if there are no takers, they will go to Purple Heart or the PTO Thrift Shop.

I’ll update this list as I find more things to lose.

This girl is fantastic.

Discovered her through Filled with Chocolate Pudding!, and she is fantastic. She’s just about everything right with social media.
