slim wallet

so i used to carry around a really fat wallet. don't get the wrong idea. it was definitely not because i carried around a lot of money, but rather because i just carried around a lot of junk... old receipts, a whole mess of those, "buy 10 get 1 free" cards from various stores, etc., and i think my wallet was made out of pretty thick leather to begin with. it's been a long time since i moved the wallet from the back pocket to the front pocket, because it's quite uncomfortable sitting on a big lump. also one day i tried cleaning it out, and i found that having so much junk in the wallet had stretched out the leather, so that after i cleaned it, the contents fell out very easily.
so i bought a new wallet. it's very slim, and takes up a lot less room in my front pocket, which i really appreciate, because now it's a lot less crowded in that area, giving much more space to other things...
...like, um,... my keys.

*edit: At the request of all (1) of my adoring fans, here are pictures of the old fat wallet and the new slim wallet. The old wallet is a lot slimmer after I took everything out, so I put a small notebook in there to approximate how fat it was when I was using it.
The quarter is in the pictures as a size reference point.
