Lalalalallalala,

Warning: both inspiration and non-existent creativity are hiding in a well hidden bush somewhere, so today I can only offer you some random thoughts.
Getting rid of stuff: I’m trying to figure out the best way to sell/give away a lot of stuff that I don’t use anymore (mainly clothes and books), but... giving the stuff away would be the easiest (and not to mention the kindest) option, but I wouldn’t mind getting some cash for these things since I’ve spent a small fortune for them throughout the years. I don’t have enough readers to start selling stuff in my blog, 2nd hand shops don’t seem to exist here in Spain, and I have no clue which online site would serve my needs the best. Does anyone have any ideas?
Headache and too much food: Friday was the worst day in a long, long time. Imagine a day where an sms filled with bad news wakes you up, a headache from halfway to hell attacks silently but oh so efficiently and doesn’t let you go for two days, you promise to work with a laptop that doesn’t work, and life is generally confusing. Oh well. The good thing about bad Fridays is that they are usually followed by nice Saturdays. Today I’ve been refuelling with chicken, Spanish omelette and some Mallorcan cake, whose name I cannot remember even if my life would depend on it.
Yippee: one week from now I will be back in the land of the Stubborn and Silent AKA the Finns, and I’m really excited about seeing my family again. Actually I’ve been meaning to write a post about "home" and what it means to me, we’ll see when I get it done.

Hmm, you pose an interesting question about getting rid of stuff. Personally, I find eBay the easiest option. I don't know how well it works internationally--I live in the US and I've only sold stuff to buyers in the US (except once I think someone in Israel bought something from me). You'd have to have a PayPal account to sell on eBay and I have no idea how you'd configure that with a foreign bank account, but I assume it can be done.
