Following the adivce of Mr. Betts, I hauled my wallet out and decided to do a little cleaning of my own. I should point out that prior to this, my wallet was reminiscent of George Costanza's--so much so that I couldn't have it in my back pocket while driving. It just was too uncomfortable.
So, here's a partial list of "important" items that I had been clinging to:
-A gift card from Jamba Juice with $.08 left on it. Yes, I live on the edge.
-Several old receipts, including one from Chili's from August 2004.
-A business card from a guy who did my taxes three years ago.
-A ripped ticket stub from Casino Royale.
-A coupon for half off my second loaf of asiago cheese bread at Kneader's. I never even bought the first loaf, by the way.
-A scrap of paper with the phone number of someone named "Mike." When I called the number, it had been disconnected.
-A "rent one, get one free" coupon at Blockbuster. It expired December '05.
I gotta tell you, my wallet is at least half the size and weight of what it once was. I don't feel like I've got a lead weight in my back pocket. (Would that it were this easy to unload ALL of life's extra baggage!)
Kudos to Johnny for this suggestion.

my wallet was reminiscent of George Costanza's--so much so that I couldn't have it in my back pocket while driving. It just was too uncomfortable. *raises hand* Yep, I know exactly where you're coming from. Sometimes it disturbs me to see how much I have in common with Costanza. Remember how George would take ice out of a glass at a restaurant and use that to kind of wash his hands at the table? I did that well before that episode aired. At least I don't take it from another person's glass though. -A scrap of paper with the phone number of someone named "Mike." When I called the number, it had been disconnected. It's a good thing I wasn't drinking something when I read this else I'd be cleaning my monitor right now. I also had a scrap of paper with a number written on it, but there was no name. I was too scared to call it. I had a bad feeling that it might be the number of a guy who flagged me down at a past screening who wanted me to call him so he could pitch his "Justice League" movie idea starring all professional wrestlers. "Sting would make the perfect Thor," he told me. "This would be a great way for both of us to make some money. We just need some money to invest in it." Uh-huh. Now every screening since then has consisted of me surrounding myself with friends to run interference should this guy be seen in my vicinity. The trials and tribulations of a movie reviewing icon...

Wallet? What is a wallet?
I'm too lazy to pull a wallet in and out of my purse, when I could just keep everything loose in it instead. (I do have a cool Monkey Bike Magic planner that Mr. C got me though - if I'm lucky, my id and credit card will end up back in there once I'm done with it...I don't think they are in there right now though).
