Had a great weekend with J. and I.. I met J. last summer on that language program in Croatia. We hit it off from the first afternoon we met and it would have been a radically different summer without her. (I <3 J.)
( More details about J., I., and our weekend. )
This afternoon, after they left, D. and I went to see Dark Knight. Awesome as everyone else has said. There was a lot of movie there, but so good I mostly ignored the fact that I had to pee through the second half.
Tonight I watched Nancy Drew. Really adorable, I loved those books when I was a little kid. I don't know that I want to go back and read them and mar the memory.
I just finished cleaning out my closet and some drawers. Three trash bags full of clothes and one of shoes! Woot! I'm okay getting rid of things that hit two out of three of the following categories*:
1. worn out
2. out of style
3. don't fit
I even did a few things that only hit one category.
But there are those things that are just misfires. I bought them and never really wore them very much because there was something that just wasn't quite flattering enough, or some detail that annoyed me. These are hard to get rid of because they're barely worn, still kind of in style, and still fit. But I tried really hard to make "annoying so I don't wear it even if spent money on it" a valid category for dismissal.
*This is on the assumption that they have little to no sentimental value. I do keep some things for sentimental reasons, but I have to remember specifically when I wore it and why that's important to keep. Then they go in one drawer I don't have easy access to and a couple of suitcases. I even cleaned out my drawer and repacked it with an edited group of sentimental things.
