Excess

Five computers and one laptop...that's one for every member of the family including the dog with one leftover for those guests we never entertain because the guest room is a stockpile of old clothes, pepto bismol colored paint, a vacuum cleaner that hasn't worked anytime in the past five years and vintage costumes from that time in third grade I danced in a remake of Fiddler on the Roof. Why god, why?

Three guitars. Really just an excuse to keep dust off the carpet. I'm getting there....but very, very slowly.

Seven tv sets, four of which are in the basement. One hooked up to PS2, one for old school Nintendo, one for N64 and one that just adds to the ambiance. I want to gouge out the screen and insides and make it into a fishbowl...at least then it'd be getting some use.


Two doghouses for one dog - she doesn't use either. Multiple copies of the same shit movies on vhs AND dvd. Six pairs of scissors in one drawer, most of which are held together with a fashionable duct tape/red string combo. More cameras than I can count (but really I'm okay with that,) photos from grade school in bathrooms, kitchen drawers and on windowsills, fake flowers in every room, paint samples, carpet swatches, slippers just for the dog to chew. In short...an abundance of crap that makes me question how these people have managed not to drown yet.
