*dies of exhaustion*

As some of you know, I cull(sometimes it's one title, sometimes it's several shortboxes worth) and organize the comics collection roughly semi-annually.  Today I hauled the last batch of shortboxes in from the storage unit(6 or 7-I forget which now-shortboxes up the stairs during summer in Texas-after that I downed 24 ounces of water in about 45 seconds) and somehow, I did the bulk of the culling(I suspect one or two other things will go before I'm finished) today and somehow managed to sort through and organize all the collection save for Marvel and DC(which, granted, is about 2/3 of the whole thing, but still...)

I'm going to have very, very tired arms in the morning.

And to think you're a comic fan... They're get-fit build-muscle how-to pamphlets advertised in the back of `sixties and `seventies comics. The Rocky Horror Show mocks them mercilessly. With all that comic-related weight-lifting you've been doing I just made the obvious reference (after all, I can resist everything except temptation).

the only 60s and 70s comics i have are in trades. A girl can't be help responsible for knowing about adds printed when her parents were still in school...

Ouch. I feel a bit of a generation gap coming on right about now... my parents were at school in the 1940s...

(started school in 1973 myself...)
