It was actually more interesting than usual this time, too!

The sheer amount of waste is astonishing..

So this week is Work Week in my fraternity house, where all the brothers and a few alumni come back to turn the house ship-shape (clean, landscape, repair, throw out trash in the loaned huge dumpster, etc).
However, the sheer volume of stuff that should be donated to charity (that I found in the dumpster) astonishes me--and the apathy of the brothers is even worse. No one cares whether the following are taken to the landfill or taken to charity (or, in some cases, kept):

some 50+ books, many of them textbooks

several carpets and rugs

an undamaged stuff sack

a roll of about 10 posters, all in good shape

a pair of crutches

two good pillows

a comforter

sheets

a fleece shirt

a skateboard, undamaged

an ab exerciser

a working game controller (steering wheel style)
So, I'm doing it myself (with Katia) since no one else seems to care.

Da clothes!

Katia's brother, Teseo, left behind a suitcase full of various clothes when he left town, for her to do with as she wished. All summer it's been stashed in a corner of her room, but as she's moving out of that room and I'm taking stuff to donate to charity, she decided it was time to go through it. Most of it would result in a Fashion Police beat-down, but there were a few gems:
two pairs of big-pocketed navy blue pants, a heavy orange-lined navy blue jacket, and the best, two pairs of black beaten-in Doc Martens, an 8-hole pair and a 14-hole pair! Rock!
