So nice to have a nice clean place, even if it does have a serious lack of furniture, electronics, dishes, etc. Hopefully talk to you this weekend, though my phone doesn't work in my apartment, I'll have to switch to Verizon which seems to work.<BR/><BR/>-scrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1151714094047169142006-06-30T20:34:00.000-04:002006-06-30T20:34:00.000-04:00So much sympathy on the packing thing.

I agree, with Cats & Dogma, that deploying stuff around the new place is fun, but that wars with my long-time loathing of any task that has involves doing something just to undo it, or vice-versa. I once spent a summer working as a sound technician for an outdoor theater. Every morning I had to lay cable, and every evening I had to coil it up again. The process induced in my a kind of existential dread.Tirunculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788199657297216288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1151669610322995172006-06-30T08:13:00.000-04:002006-06-30T08:13:00.000-04:00Packing is a pain.

My extremely gorgeous pair of Stuart crystal flutes have survived six moves (none of them done professionally) over the past eleven years, so your flutes will be fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1151644214609468082006-06-30T01:10:00.000-04:002006-06-30T01:10:00.000-04:00Oh, I've been wanting to see Pandora's Box, but I ...Oh, I've been wanting to see <I>Pandora's Box</I>, but I haven't been able to decide whether it's cooler to see the live piano player, or hear his score on a player piano... good to hear you enjoyed the live performance!kermitthefroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15742856153167362749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1151643294121619582006-06-30T00:54:00.000-04:002006-06-30T00:54:00.000-04:00NK: I've had the punch bowl for 2.5 years and I've...NK: I've had the punch bowl for 2.5 years and I've used it twice, which isn't bad! As for the flutes--I've had 6 for a long time, and I do use them occasionally--although generally only two or three at a time. But I've thrown a few New Year's parties, and then for my 30th birthday I was serving (fake) champagne, so I went and bought the other 12.<BR/><BR/>I should add that these are all totally faux hierlooms--the punch bowl was a $15 eBay steal (including shipping!), the first 6 flutes I liberated from my parents' house, and the remaining 12 flutes (although real crystal & very handsome) I bought at a thrift store for fifty cents apiece.<BR/><BR/>So, yeah. I guess I have a thing for glassware.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1151642406121112762006-06-30T00:40:00.000-04:002006-06-30T00:40:00.000-04:00Okay, I know moving sucks, and you're leaving a pl...Okay, I know moving sucks, and you're leaving a place you love, and that is a sad thing - but I'm just boggling at the champagne flutes and the punch bowl!!
