A list for not shopping to

It is time to start sloughing off the things which are not to come with. Me. In my move. Sometimes for talking like a translated manual.

Here is a list you of you-might-wants.

- boxy tealight holder with moon face
- assorted books including Rushdie's Fury and some Calvino and Wallace
- A large pot for cooking pasta
- a saucepan I think also
- 2 (two) different City of Lost Children posters, HUGE, on some stiff cardboard material
- original artwork by the incomparable Melissa Vaughan, signed, featuring a blue cartoonish bald character, as all her art does feature. Cardboard. I cannot bear to throw it out myself so if anyone will do it for me I would consider it a kindness.
- various sample-sized burt's bees and bath salt products
- assorted clothes, all more or less me-sized

I know these are small and mainly throw-away-able or donate-able, but I hate to throw out useful stuff or give to strangers when I have needy friends. So if you will be in the neighborhood of me over the next week and a half and any of this sounds grud, let me know and it is belong to you.

Well Kristen,

I'm relatively me-sized as well. What a cooincidence. We should discuss this further as we soak our toes in salty effervescence, or while the Vietnamese women are painting them and talking openly about us.

I'm not sure if I'm me-sized or not. Am I? Is there anything in this goodie bag that I'd be remotely interested in?

i'm taking the clothes to crossroads tomorrow to see if they'll accept anything, but a lot of it is winter stuff and i think they're still buying for summer. i don't actually remember what's in the bag or what size it is, but i will keep you posted.

i would be interested in the large didopot and didosaucepan if it's available. i'm actually going to be coming into the city tonight, so perhaps i should just call you instead of commenting here.

p.s. michele and jacob -- what's in the bag? oh, the shame, the shame.

you are welcome to the pot and potential saucepan. i'll be in the far east having dinner but should be home around 9 or 10, so if you are around after that, they're yours. otherwise, i am happy to move with them and then give them to you when we have our housewarming or something.

or when you have your housewarming.

Can I come take a look at the books? If so, when?

If you decide you have an extra bed or dresser, I would love to take them off your hands.
