Day 71: Rockettini Glasses

A few years ago, G and I went to see Bjork at Radio City Music Hall. It was pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a Bjork show, or Bjork herself: amazing and a little crazy. (Oh, and I don't know how to make the dots over the O in her name -- and I'm not looking it up! I'm tired!)

We're not usually the "souvenir glass" kind of people, but in the spirit of seeing one of our favorite performers at an awesome venue, we got ourselves some beverages in these extremely classy "Rockettini" glasses. Although I actually think mine was something rum-based.

We held on to them for years just in case we ever had an occasion that called for stemware with disembodied legs.

DESTINATION: ~~Goodwill.~~ Rescued from the Goodwill pile by G's brother!

What I'm getting from this post is that there is not an occasion for disembodied leg glass. Is that correct?

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
