News from Nowhere (Morning After Edition)

[greygirlbeast]

Spooky and Byron are now on their way downtown to pick up the 16' Penske truck. I'm not awake. Hubero is still in kitty jail. Have you ever seen dragonflies have sex? No? Not sure? Well, if you have ever seen dragonflies have sex, maybe you'll understand how we're about to transfer the contents of the 12' truck to the new one. Of course, I'm not awake, so what do I know about the mating habits of the Anisoptera? Eight hours sleep last night, which is amazing (though my muscles and joints want another eight). Spooky slept at least six hours, which is a good thing. So, yeah. If all goes according to plan (and it hasn't so far), we'll do this thing, get another good night's sleep, and head out tomorrow morning. Early. I suppose this is what it feels like to be an astronaut, waiting for your taxi to the International Space Station, only there was a ladybug on the booster engine, and then someone peed in the shuttle, and you keep getting yanked back. Or not. And now, for my next trick, I shall stop typing! Voila!

Good luck with the move! I wishing you the best and easiest of journies!

"Eight hours sleep last night, which is amazing (though my muscles and joints want another eight)."

My complete sympathies.

It is advisable, under such circumstances, to anaesthetize (I recommend a nice bottle of Red Bicyclette).

Good luck.

Here, have the new trailer for Burn After Reading (YouTube), the upcoming Coen Bros. film costarring Tilda Swinton.

This + Providence = decent reasons not to drink Windex.

Good luck on the trip!

If you go through North Carolina and Virginia on I-85, rather than I-81 or I-95, be careful of speed traps - traffic is often quite light, especially in VA, it's easy to let the speed creep up, and there are a number of places the police like to watch. (We used to do that section a lot when we lived in Chapel Hill NC, and traveled to Philly to visit family.)

Something working as it should

The Stiff Kitten T-shirt I ordered on Saturday arrived today. I'm likely to pass it along to my friend Alicia, who I turned on to your work (she has her own copy of The Five of Cups). So that's worked out properly, and I'm glad to have it.

Congrats on you and Spooky getting a good amount of sleep in challenging circumstances. Best of the good luck in finally getting moving.

I'm in awe of both of you. And Hubero!

Congratulations on getting this underway.. may it all go by without incident & may you safely be home soon.

I wanted to tell you how much I loved "Rappaccini's Dragon", it was BEAUTIFUL and ever since reading it, I've had David Bowie's "Sweet Thing" stuck in my head, very loudly.

Maybe Daniel could've had that song in his head too (or at least the thoughts/feelings it represents) at the very end... remembering his life as a young man in "Sweet Thing", maybe thinking of himself and his brother in "Candidate", and finally about to join his brother again in "Sweet Thing [reprise]" The feeling of carnivorous death in carnivorous life is the same in both works of art, I think...

The best and best of luck with you. And more sleep.

Ah, the joy of moving.

One good thing, if you're now getting in to Providence on Sunday, you won't have to deal with rain while you unload.

Good luck to all of you on the journey.
