Once a season, or when it really needs to be done, Waste hosts a Skua party. Lucky volunteers get to sort through triwall boxes full of items people have put into Skua. In retrospect, this is probably the worst possible job for me, because I can darn near find a use for just about anything. So, as I sorted through bags and boxes of treasure separating out for myself what I might use, I asked myself for everything else if someone else might use it. All in all we got through the necessary boxes and were able to help waste separate out a lot of unwanted crap. The reward, naturally, is the Skua treasures I found!

SKUA PARTY! Justin and Dan up front, comparing jewels!
My Skua Treasure Bag!
Gems include a fake crow, an Indian pillow, a bamboo box,
fake leaves, running shoes, sparkly costume tiaras,
a big-ol'-ball-o'-yarn, stationary and some clothes!
SCORE!
Skua'd fake grapes!
Washed and nicely displayed in a bowl in my room.
A sparkly snowflake!
My eye still has a gleam for anything sparkly!
A sarong that I used to cover one of my lights on the ceiling of my room.
Doesn't it look nice?
