Becoming a Minimalist Spoof

by Katy on January 27, 2011 · 25 comments

Thank you very much to Naomi Seldin, who posted this on Simpler Living. The “Moving to the Pacific Northwest” part made me laugh. Hard.

Must go. Must write eBooks to sell to my audience. 😉

I’ve got the phone, laptop, and moved to the PNW. I kept the wife and 10,000 things but I’m well on my way.

Thanks for the laugh, Naomi and Katy! It looks like a minimalized cartoon, too.

SO funny! I especially love the parts where he ignores her “why” questions and continues his list 🙂

Hilarious…I sent it to my son and his wife who ride bikes and she wants to move to the Pacific Northwest.

I too have 10,000 things including the Burton translation of A THOUSAND NIGHTS AND A NIGHT (17 vols). So each night that Shahrazad reads me a story I will give her 1o things (no, hugs and kisses don’t count). On the 1000th night, I will give her my 17 volumes telling her the story that she had just been telling me. On the 1001th night I will give her the only thing remaining, which is myself, the Sultan Anthony of the Pacific Northwest. (I will be cheating on one item, my bicycle–please don’t tell.)

I love this. I really think I need to head to Starbucks for lunch and then I might go to the Apple store. Honestly though, I don’t know what I’m going to do when my 5 year old iPod finally quits working.

Okay, my family has more than their fair share of MacIntosh products, but we hardly ever go to Starbucks. And for the record, I am FROM the Pacific Northwest. Back when it was all aging hippies and murderous lumberjacks. 😉

P.S. That last line is shamelessly stolen from the comedian Matt Braunger, who I used to babysit for.

This was so funny! It’s especially funny to me because I lost my job a week ago and when someone asked me what type of jobs I’m looking for, I actually said “I guess marketing jobs. I really just want to write for my blog though.”

Haha!
