I'm wayyyy behind in packing & can't believe I have to be moved out by Monday. THREE days! I feel like I'm acting out that Seinfeld comedy bit, sizing every item up for the type of box it would've come inside. I trucked around all the big box places I could think of - Home Depot, Best Buy & so on - with no luck. Most of the places with the good boxes (oh monitor boxes, how I love your sturdy cardboard & handles that never tear!) have dastardly crushers, so alley box pickers can't even get close to their boxy goodness. It's tragic.
I hit pay dirt behind a sports place on Monday. Because of the holiday their recycle bin runneth over & I stuffed as many boxes into my car as it would carry. Now comes the tough part of actually organizing my junk. I had one big one packed perfectly, all space used efficiently & filled to the brim. Then I realized I couldn't lift the fucker & had to take it all out & divide it into 3 smaller boxes.
Fortunately I've had American Idol to entertain me as I pack. I'm loving the nerdy guy & he's my one reason for watching this season. I usually watch bit & pieces throughout the year, but rarely sit through an entire show. I hate that style of singing, generally & the music choices are always awful. I really have no desire to see teenagers sing Aretha. Sorry! The few interesting contestants (Chris Daughtry, for example) usually get cut & I fully expect that to happen with this year's Chris. Great exposure for him though. I could see him doing those commentary spots on E! picking apart the celebs or whatever that show is where they get unheard of comedians to rate the music videos. Does VH1 even play videos anymore? It seems like it's always one of those Top 40 Most _______ shows. Bah. Dang kids & their lack of rock music! =)
