Some minor scores against entropy

All the drawers in my room now close, and the pile of scary financial paper has been checked for things-that-will-become-scarier-if-not-addressed. I revel in the cleared surfaces.

- a nonfunctional cassette player (zut! I hoped to use that to experiment with converting cassettes to MP3s. The stereo it is, then.)
- Christmas cards from 2007.
- birthday cards from 2007.
- church bulletins from 2003 and 2004.
- 12 gel pens, of which 1 still works.
- The pad of recycled paper I bought somewhere in Germany in 1992.
