Thing 72

image

Okay, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE me some Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I have to say that this album never really did it for me.  Maybe it was Dave Navarro.

Dave is good, but he’s no John Frusciante, who is completely off the hook.

If I have to own a RHCP album, it has to be their 2004 release By The Way which is absolutely incredible.  It’s probably one of the 10 albums I’d need if I were stranded on an island.  If you don’t know it- KNOW IT.

Anyway, I’ve imported One Hot Minute just so I have it, and now off it goes….

Thing 71

image

I believe this was a birthday present from an old friend Stu Jenkins.  He gave this to me back when we both lived in Brooklyn.  Now I’m in Beacon and I believe he’s in California, so this book has to be really old.

I enjoyed the first few chapters I read, but it has sat on many a bookshelf since, and I’m becoming friendly with the Beacon Public Library, so I can always check it out from there if I get the itch.

So thanks Stu, wherever you are!!

Thing 70

image

Yes.  This is a keychain that reads “film”.

I believe i received this as part of a high school graduation gift made by my aunt Martha.  I’m not sure if I ever used this, at least not in recent years.

So I’m moving on and getting rid of the keychain.

Maybe I’ll ask my aunt to make a new one that reads “digital”……..

Thing 69

image

These are mineral absorption pads and replacement ultraviolet bulbs for this humidifier:

This humidifier was by far the best I have ever owned. At one time we owned 2 (Anabelle eventually got her own).  We used them until they had nothing left to give, and then we dropped them off at the Beacon electronics recycling day. 
I found these replacement parts, but they are no good without the humidifier.  So adios.

Thing 68

image

I found this and said holy shit- not only will I never use this again, but I don’t even have the technology to make it work.  I might as well have found a VCR (which would have immediately become thing 69). 
The sad thing is that I have 2 very important cassette tapes that I need to listen to- ideally I’d transfer the content to digital- but like I said, no technology to play them on….
