times a tick tockin away!
tonight after work begins crunch time.

everything we own is getting moved to the garage. or to kathis. tomorrow morning lauren and i will be wrestling with the hoardes of ny city folk who are all on a mission of mass exodus of the hot and steamy city in favor of the ever so pristine jersey shore (sarcasm? noooo)
spending the weekend at the beach with a ridiculous amount of assholes i'm sure. but hey, sun and ocean and a free house a block away from the shore? sure.

i intend on mild inebriation throughout the weekend.

ending sunday morning, when we again will be facing the hoardes of (holyshiti'vegottagobacktowork)
in time to get lauren to work
and me to the budget rental truck
and then pack all night

monday afternoon, you will see me, there in buffalo
i'll be the one swearing under my breath at the 47 boxes of books(bricks) that have lauren's name all over them.

here we go!

    Before moving I decided to sell 1/3 of my books. Amazon payed for my moving expenses and our security deposit. So, with that volume in mind I have an idea what you are in store for. God speed.

    @hodown just the thought of NYC in this heat makes my skin crawl... i don't envy you....

    @james - lauren will NEVER sell her books. even if she never reads a single one of them again. and being that she will soon be attending grad school for a degree in that which requires enough books to put encyclopedia britannica to shame.... oh i might have just gotten a little depressed just now...

    and dammit why isn't that pic of steven coming up?

    I have a book problem, and it's worse than Lauren's. My old friend Joe was in town for a visit recently and he reminded me that we moved over 75 boxes of books into my office last August, and I have to admit that I just moved another 15 (different) boxes from my old place to the new digs. Having to move multiple dozens of boxes of books is a good way to test friendships, haha.

    Of course, the problem with selling/giving away books is that, unlike weeding a garden, you might end up missing the "weeds". My buddy Tom in Albany once weeded his library of books he felt he "never used" and subsequently spent the next year or two going to the shelf to look for a title that -- sure enough -- he'd sold or given away in that weeding frenzy. His advice: NEVER weed your library.

    So I guess I'd say, 47 boxes of books -- a pain, yes, but what is life without pain, after all? And better the pain now than later. :-)

    oops, posted that last item to the wrong journal entry, my bad.

    maybe you should take Lauren's books down the shore with you?

    hmm. it seems some posts are best kept separate.
