So yesterday I stepped into a phone booth and emerged Efficiency Woman (a spinoff character of jakejr's Efficiency Girl), setting up my new place with power and boxing (thanks for those extra boxes, moonlightnrain!) up most of the rest of my shit. Good god I have a lot of crap. I mean scads of it. Did get the posters all condensed down to a few tubes and realized that even if I wallpapered my entire new place with said posters I'd still have extras. I should open a shop or something.

I actually had a moment yesterday of pondering whether or not to bother keeping all my thesis crap that I've been lugging around from place to place out here. I mean do I really need it? Is it ever going to come in useful in my life again? If I'm doomed to a nomadic existence shouldn't I just pitch it and get it over with? Part of me wished I had a backyard where I could give it a proper Viking send off, but alas I do not and it would simply end up in the recycling bin. It was a helluva lot of work, though, and I'm loathe to part with it.

And I gave myself about 40 minutes at the end of the evening to start on my Avatar mix. I found the perfect songs for Uncle Iroh, Katara, and Sokka and am most pleased. The order of the songs needs a little work but overall I think it's mostly done. Go me!

*salivates over the prospect of a new mix*

You may not have a backyard, but you do know someone with a real fireplace... :)

Speaking of which--I realized this weekend I should ping you about plans for New Year's Eve plans. That day sounds like the perfect time to immolate your thesis if you really wanted to do it, too. :>

Ah well NYE for me this year is moving, and the evening will probably be spent unpacking, but I know Aelf was desperately hoping for something to do above and beyond helping me move :) Personally I'd be game for socializing as long as it allows me to continue to unpack :)

Housewarming/NYE unpacking party would work for me!

There's a Sharks game that night though, in Dallas. I may have to demand to watch it while helping. :)

You can ritually burn the paper the day after if you like. :>

So long as I have cable you're on. I think I might just transfer the service for now and then look into DirectTV/DishNetwork later on.

I've been demoted! I was Efficiency Woman first, dammit!

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

All right, fine, you be "Woman" and I'll be "Girl", though technically I'm older than you so you really should be demoted.

:P

You may be older, but I've had the name for damn near 20 years, so I think that counts for something. You could be Efficiency Woman 2 if you want.

how about scanning the thesis materials? Is that a possibility at all... then you can dispose of the physical aspects of it and keep the memory electronically.

(we have a high capacity PDF scanner for papers at work for example)

It's possible, I guess, the question is does this thing have any more use for me in my life? Why am I keeping it around aside from the fact that it marks a major achievement. So do my degrees and they take up a lot less space.

Exactly what thesis things are you talking about? Surely not the velvet painting....

As in the actual notes and thesis itself.
