The Items I Carry
The Items I Carry

I used to be a packrat with the things I carried around. Never know when you might need that extra set of batteries! Or that pocket knife with the can opener! And lord knows you need at least two pencils and a pen on you (crappy ones at that)!
No, no no no. Done with that. I walk out the door and instinctually do a "phone, keys, wallet" check in one motion and know I’m good to go. Hell, I don’t even carry the pen or notebook (pocket moleskine, grid lines of course) around with me unless I know I’m going to need them (out to buy things, out with friends, traveling in unknown places). The wallet’s an old but trusted friend from many exes ago, the watch is the first I’ve been able to stand wearing over long periods of time (the many secrets of well-worn leather) from a much more recent ex (considerably better terms—o! experience).
The phone is a first gen iPhone, complete with dents, dings, drops, and even a scratch in that supposedly invincible screen. Tough love but she’s a trooper. I respect the disconnected life and while I’m certainly not living it myself I am pleased to be down to a single, pleasant device.
The keys are no frills, just the facts ma’am, because as with the rest, only the essentials please.
Oh and the type term coasters are what happens when you put a graphic designer and a developer/wannabe-designer in one house. Makes sense really.

it’s going to be amusing when you end up getting a messenger bag in a few months to carry stuff in when you bike.
Actually usually its more of walk out the door get in the car sit there for a minute and then go CRAP I forgot my wallet, phone, keys.
Man I’m too scared to even look in the bottom of my backpack… =/
ekologisk: Thanks! Yeah, it’s a black leather dual fold Kenneth Cole that’s held up surprising well over the years. The thing’s a little tank.
Colleen: Oh come on, I’ve locked myself out all of twice, once with you home and once without thus tying you! Hell, I learned the secret window break in technique from you, the master (which is no longer possible bee tea dubs). Now I mean, forgetting tickets and other such things that the phone-keys-wallet slap-check doesn’t check for, that’s ANOTHER thing entirely!
…of which I am so, so terribly guilty.
on_the_flipside: Oh Annie, believe me, I have boxes and bags stashed around that are to be opened by no man, except for possibly at the end of time.
I want to see a couple of more pictures, please (your wallet)
