Pushed by the fact that H&H are going to be staying with me for a few days, I delved into the archeological dig site that is my bedroom closet. Amazingly, I uncovered a box that held my long missing Dashiell Hammet collection, along with my copy of On War by Clausewitz, Mekton Zeta, and my battered copy of the Striker miniature rules that GDW developed what seems to be a lifetime ago. That was an unexpected delight – as well as a sudden space crisis. I had to reorganize some shelves to find room for it all.
Truth is that I haven't actually been in my bedroom closet since I moved in some 5 years ago now. Just stacked the boxes in there, piled on some loose clothes and boots, closed the closet doors and walked away. I decided since I hadn't put on anything in there in all that time, I could safely get rid of it. 6 garbage bags of clothes later, I had room to move some of the clothes collecting out in the actual room into the closet, where they'll likely be ignored for another 4-5 years.
The other big find was my comic long box full of Suicide Squad and Legion of Super-hero comics. It's probably time for a re-read and if can find all my issues, I'll likely do some posting about the Suicide Squad. Definitely one of, if not THE, favorite comics I've collected. The Legion gives it a close run for the money, however.
