When Mom passed away, I couldn't say "Sure, I'll dash off to Buenos Aires!" to join a friend doing something wonderful. "Yes, I'd love to do voiceovers in Bollywood. Mumbai here I come!" Wasn't light enough on my feet, in my bags & trunks. There are adorable items I'd love to tote anywhere as part of my nest, and others just here as passing fancies. Lots and lots of both.
I tested 50/50 Left Brain/Right Brain. And 50/50 for Audio/Visual. So I have delights to both of those senses in abundance tucked into my place.
There's also the rugged survivalist who's grown up urban-- just wants to save the cultural stuff in case of emergencies. Part of my collecting amusing artistic and musical items is my anticipation of a time when power might blackout and all we would have would be our books and papers... I guess the CDs and DVDs would need power.... But just electrical...
Anyway, I have things from tapes of the BCCI hearings from CSpan to a Japanese sit-com called Double Kitchen. And cassettes of some great ethnic music that I chose for the funky labels then discovered to have great sound.
Speaking of nostalgic items-- we've got that temperature right now. Muggy as my younger days in Tokyo and Hong Kong.
