I'm still moved. It's kinda weird.

Okay, obviously merely mostly moved, because the Brita jug and the kettle are at the other place, which was a grave mistake.

Where's quester? I tuned into MI-5 last night at exactly the wrong place for someone who'd seen it before, and couldn't tear myself away until the moment was done. Damn them.

More frivolously, that Love Hewitt thingie with Colin has been recorded. I fear I have a lot of her to sit through. I can't say she's doing a bad job, but the character is like a mean Bridget Jones. I fear the sugary redemption.

I watched that Love Hewitt thingie, and realized that I had tried to read the book a while back, but had to stop because I hated it so much. I hated the movie less.

Note to self: buy decoy engagement ring after getting engaged

Further note to self: find someone to get engaged to.

Hee! My shopping list is now: (1) Wedding dress. (2) Fiance.

But, as I looked around my almost-empty S2BX-apartment, I was thinking one should have housecooling parties. You know, when there's no furniture at all, just order in food and drink beers and the like on the floor.

There were a couple of those when I was in high school. Or at least legends of same.

Get the fiance first. You wouldn't want to end up falling for one that didn't match the dress.

You wouldn't want to end up falling for one that didn't match the dress.

Unpossible.

Well, given the right mental and emotional controls.

Get the fiance first. You wouldn't want to end up falling for one that didn't match the dress.

Ooh, good call. I just make my list as I think of what needs to go on it.

I was thinking of watching the Love Hewitt thing this afternoon. Did the serial killer thing air already?

And congratulations on being almost moved, ita!

For the brides-to-be, just be thankful that you aren't like this poor lass, who wrote Dear Abby with her dilemma:

DEAR ABBY: I just became engaged to my boyfriend of two years. We plan to be married in October. My boyfriend and I have agreed to have an old-fashioned church wedding and, of course, a white wedding dress. But our wedding will be in October and Labor Day is in September, and I never wear white after Labor Day.

My boyfriend insists I should wear white. He says there is an exception to every rule, but I disagree, and we don't want to change our wedding date. Can you tell me what to do? -- BRIDE WITH NO DRESS IN ILLINOIS

OMG, Steph, that's freaking hilarious.

I feel like it has to be a joke -- I mean, not Dear Abby's joke, but that the person who wrote it *had* to be kidding. Even people who are scrupulous about no white after Labor Day know that wedding dresses are an exception.

Yeah, they've got to be pulling poor Abby's leg. What did she say back?
