just a short one today, speaking to the drawers, doodlers, crafters and artists out there.

how often do you OVER-collect resources? pictures, videos, books, materials... before you even start the work, you seem to have about a 100 things collected in little packets and folders and piles all over your workspace and home, and you end up using maybe two or three items of each. what's up with that? and then when the project or idea is over, you can't let go of the stuff. you think "next time!" or that you spent so much time and money getting them that you can't pass them on to other people working the same sort of strain of idea, or you're just damn possessive.

last weekend i finally got down to cleaning up my pc and mac. shew, what a difference! freed up 12 gigs on my pc, and 60 gigs on my mac. what a difference! but then i looked over at this HUGE packet i have of torn out pictures for my reference collage file, and i just go "eep..." where do i start on that???

let me know your stories of hoarding and waiting. we can make a little competition out of who's the worst ;)

chow for now
