Making a Production out of It ((omg-I-have-too-much-stuff, recycle))

Programs from school shows.  The ones on the left are from middle school - I was in sewing class, of all things, and we put on fashion shows of our projects.  I'd like to think what I see here are programs from three differeent shows, but really those are all from the same show, just with different covers.  There are no pictures, just lists of the participants, and special thanks to parent to helped out.  My dad got mention in this one.  I have no idea what for.  Maybe paper we used for set decoration?  Anyway, I have no serious extra special memories regarding middle school sewing class, so bye-bye.

The other program is for some high school show I wasn't even in.  It doesn't even look like any of my best friends were in it.  What the hell?

Just b/c it's called a Trapper Keeper . . .

Doesn't mean I have to keep it.  These folders contained a lot of paperwork (which is now in the recycling pile) from high school.  As always, I did keep a little bit - but really, I can't justify holding on to my Latin homework, given that I can no longer even read it.

Media Blitz

This is about half of my pile of miscellaneous and mostly blank CDs, DVDs, and cases.  I found it unreasonably difficult to move any items into the "get rid of"  (Technotrash) pile, despite having just put several similar items in a "keep just in case" pile. This is troublesome, given that I haven't burned a disk in at least two years.  I don't even know how to on my current laptop.  The problem is, about five years I bought an external CD/DVD device that will digitally label the media, and I did in fact use it a great deal (at the time I was converting LPs and audiotapes and VHS tapes).  Now I am anchored in the idea that these are things that I use, even though I don't anymore, even though I expect that in a few years I will will be using some new storage format.  The blanks I am keeping can be labeled with a Sharpie.  What horrible overseer in my brain thinks it matters how neatly my backup disks are labeled?

After having watched this documentary I am kind of trying to target plastic, and this is all just plastic I don't have any real need for.
