Packing and toys
To paraphrase Gunnar Bob: "I don't pack, but I'm packing!" Got eight boxes of books packed tonight; I'm estimating there'll be about twenty by the time I'm done. It feels a little like cheating to start with the books, since those seem like they'll be the easiest things to pack, but they probably amount to more than half my non-furniture Stuff, by weight or volume. The Stuff that isn't books or furniture probably adds up to: a few boxes of assorted papers, a few boxes of kitchen stuff, a few boxes of clothes, a box or two of bathroom stuff, a few boxes of assorted knick-knacks and tchotchkes. TV, assorted computer components, a couple of lamps. I'm sure there's more that I'm not thinking of (a couple boxes of assorted foodstuffs, and by the way don't forget to buy a refrigerator), but I think most of the rest of it is furniture. Anyway, I think I'm out of book-sized boxes, and it's a little late to be banging pots and pans in the kitchen. So I'm gonna stop packing and go read subs. Aren't I virtuous?
Oh, but first (unrelatedly): Kam and I stopped by the Apple Store this afternoon, just before I took her to the airport so she could fly off for two weeks in Prague and a week in Munich, and I picked up an ultra-teeny voice-memo recorder unit for my iPod. So far, I'm not terribly impressed; I think it probably won't work well for what I want it for (recording in the noisy environment of my car at freeway speed). But I also got a teeny mini portable speaker unit (slightly bigger in two dimensions than the iPod, and slightly flatter in the third) that should be very useful for next time I rent a car; the sound quality on that is surprisingly good, though I haven't yet tried it in the car.
And that's the news from Lake Jedbegone. G'night!
