so i've been doing quite a bit of two things lately - watching antiques roadshow and thrifting. it's fucked up because everytime i watch antiques roadshow i start fantasizing about bringing some piece of old junk to them and learning its worth a small fortune. recently my mom gave me a bunch of my dead grandmothers antique dutch gold jewelery to have appraised and sell. i bullshitted hard on actually doing it, yes in theory its a great idea, i pretty much say yes to every single thing anyone ever asks me. but in practice i realized the right place for dead grandma's jewelery was antiques roadshow. who the hell knows where or when they're gonna show up? my mom just asked me to give back the jewelery because i was taking too long with it.
and now that i've been doing more and more thrifting lately i seem to be spending more time in the "miscellaneous" sections looking for some forgotten, overlooked, undiscovered treasure i can take down to the good old antiques roadshow and get rich off of, thats actually not true, i have been having some luck finding great men's clothing. the point is i still do make it a point to browse the miscellaneous section every chance i get. i got houses and cars to buy and shit you know what i'm saying? in the meantime i guess i'll just have to settle for random books about building stuff with plywood and old national geographic map sets with missing maps for $4 i think i may have paid too much for.
