Love your voice and your blog--which, b...Hi, Quin.<br /><br />Love your voice and your blog--which, by the way, reads like you wrote it to the Radiohead CD I'm listening to right now.<br /><br />Whenever I move, I find myself leaving things I've bought and taking things I've found. Would the former owners be touched or troubled? I have a gorgeous little diary I found at landfill that chronicles a young woman's first time away at school in the early 1940's.<br /><br />What do you perform from Long Day's Journey? I once had a producer ask me, on the spot, to read an entire screenplay I'd just written. I'm not an actor and my respect for people who can pull off cold readings went up immeasurably. The only plus side? Editing on the fly without him knowing... <br /><br />Hey, wait a minute. Is this a f*cking comment or a self-absorbed interview by a complete stranger?walter conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024514571195778214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221810884118399061.post-62359939615371791712009-07-22T23:41:21.843-06:002009-07-22T23:41:21.843-06:00You've been tagged, Miss Quin.

I live in Chicago and it is a wonderful place to find stuff in the back alleys left by dumpsters and in fact there is a whole world of people with pick-up trucks who drive up and down the alleys picking up discarded items. My enitre apartment is furnished with reclaimed items and everyone comments on how beautiful my apartment is, we as a society need to recycle more so you and I are doing our parts. Thanks for the great post.xegbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710389463357648886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221810884118399061.post-34523523462484678512009-07-22T06:46:42.173-06:002009-07-22T06:46:42.173-06:00When I lived and worked in New York, I made $125 a...When I lived and worked in New York, I made $125 a week and thought I was rich.

I have picked up perfectly good stuff from allies in California (wrote a story about one such item) and I still will set good stuff by the curb before loading it up to take it to Habitat. Almost always it's gone and I'm saved the the trip. Plus keeping an eye peeled for urban treasure is just fun!Harrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221810884118399061.post-30067094815667801692009-07-21T21:27:17.871-06:002009-07-21T21:27:17.871-06:00For a few years after we were married, I worked pa...For a few years after we were married, I worked part-time for an auction company, and as a result, we acquired lots of other people's items they didn't want anymore, including a number of crocks and jugs. I knew what they went for, and when the antique dealers weren't there, old Coast Rat made some neat buys! Sort of investing in the future...
