stuck songs, silly quotes and other randomnesses

YouTube is a wonderful thing in that I can watch old Bugs Bunny cartoons on it. That fact, however, has led to me walking around singing "Why look so perplexed? Why must you be vexed? Can't you see you're next?" from The Rabbit of Seville intermittently for the last couple of months.

My other favorite quote-out-of-context lately happens whenever I'm at work doing something and get interrupted. When I get back to whatever I was doing, I generally think "Where was I?" and the answer comes back courtesy of Mr. Dickinson from 1776: "Somewhere between New York and Pennsylvania."

Other news: I've got most of my kitchen and most of my living room in boxes, if not officially packed. I got to the point yesterday of being disgusted that nothing fit in any box I tried it in the way I wanted it to. (What do you mean, the tube pan won't fit in the stock pot?) I think I'm fighting a losing battle there and I should probably just throw a lot of sweaters in that box and call it done.

Tonight, I buy tools. I need allen wrenches to take the futon frame apart, socket wrenches to take my table apart, and a mat knife (mine cracked in half crossways last month when I tried to use it on the stuck-together paint on a window I wanted to open. The window is still shut.).

I've been living paycheck to paycheck for so long that the idea of not having to do that any more is somewhat daunting.

Still have boxes for you if you need them. Still willing to come help pack if you need that too. Also have cat carrier for you. Just needs a wash before going to the cat.

Can I borrow you on Thursday or is that too short notice?

Thursday works. As I said, I don't have any weeknight plans this week, so its all available if you need it. Should I bring anything other than my charming self?

If you wanted to bring me a couple of largish boxes suitable for putting clothing or my featherbed in, that would be lovely.

Okie Doke. I'll look through the boxes I set aside tonight to see what's in shape to be used. I know some of them got wet last week, just need to check that they dried properly and are still structurally sound.

Sending you some of our moving karma. It's been pretty good, getting us here and unpacked, so I'm sending you packing energy. And a giant hurray for not living paycheck to paycheck!

She's already got the moving karma, that's what got her the apartment! {oh, and nepotism, but who's counting...}
