man oh man i'm beat. i spent a full twelve hours working on moving crap, cleaning, packing, running out for more boxes, cleaning, packing, tearing down stuff, blah blah blah blah blah yesterday... i don't have a ton of stuff but there's still a lot to do, you know? i think it'll be less overwhelming in a couple of days when all my big furniture is whisked away to fox valley thrift to sit amongst the 80s motel furniture. i hope my crappy little computer can hold it's own in the computer graveyard and not get pushed around too much by the other old-timers...

speaking of, i'm wiping out the hard drive on it tonight. it's gettin ready to go. so no computer in my house until mid-may, when i'll be blessed by the computer fairy. which means not much, if any blogging. you'll have to actually call me to find out what's up... spooky.

so friday night i missed the first of the week-long event that is the art department leaving. i was sitting at uhaul waiting for my hitch to get installed, and paging through this entertainment weekly. it was this issue about 90s pop culture icons, so there was lots of really recognizable photos and crap throughout. and as i'm taking the how much do you know about the 90s quiz, this 6 year old boy comes up and goes nuts over the magazine cover, cuz it had bart simpson on it. so we started looking through the magazine together, and he'd point out the photos of the characters he knew and how he had this video and that video. his mom finishes up at the counter and comes back to join us right as the kid turns to a picture of hannibal lecter, with the face mask on and all that. and he's completely fascinated by this picture and he's asking me who it is... and i'm like uh, i don't know but he looks kinda scary, huh? and he agrees. and he just kept staring at him... it seemed inappropriate to tell him that the guy eats people for fun, so i said hey, maybe it's his halloween costume? and looks at me like i'm completely lame and says no, i don't think so. and me and the mom are just looking at each other telepathically screaming "come on, just turn the darn page already!"

then he did, and a couple minutes later they left.

also, i watched 21 grams last night after clean-a-rama. it was really good and you should rent it. then i fell asleep.
