Why Is My Bag So Heavy?

Some days the obsessive compulsive side of me wins.  Some of the more ridiculous things I found while meticulously cataloguing the contents of my bag:
1 voice recorder (do I ever use that?)
1 expired diplomatic passport (can't quite bring myself to chuck it yet)
2 old college IDs (hang onto that Spring 2000 Pomona ID, never know when it will come in handy)
2 16 meg SD cards (can fit 3 pics each)
3 tire adapting valves for my bike
4 tubes of used lip balm
5 pairs of earphones
100 sheets of graph paper (have to be exact!)
And to contain it all:
1 wallet
1 airplane overnight kit bag
1 computer sleeve
1 mini folio
2 pencil cases
3 makeup bags
4 folders
228 Gigs of memory spread across ~12 devices

I don't know if I could even make the 100 Things Challenge just with what I have on my person and in my bag.

  2. What the? I have to know what the makeup bags are for and tell you how impressed I am by all the cordage.

  3. yeah, i guess it explains my back problems...err...

    the makeup bags are for all of those little electronics that you need to sort of see where they are--SD cards, little cables, little power converters, adapters, etc. all of the writing stuff goes in one pencil case and all of the pharmacy and office organizing stuff (paper clips, post its) goes in the other. really a science at this point.

  5. I just came across your blog on Miriam Oh's bloglist... and I have to tell you, I really appreciate it. So clean and minimalist in design, love it. Great posts. Really loved the detailing--and the OCD layout-- of all the items in your bag, too.

    Cheers-
