And the funny thing is, no matter how ruthless you are, once you're in the new place and unpacking boxes, there will still be tons of shit where you pull it out and go "I thought I needed that?"
This is too true, brenda. I thougt I was ruthless when we moved here three years ago, then got her and rid myself of more.
Well of course, but in the one case that means really packing really everything, and in the other it means really packing almost everything, and throwing the rest in the car at the last minute.
I always count 'throwing the rest in the car at the last minute' as packing; it's just not as neat.
I just also know that there's going to be a lot of fiddly crap that ends up in the essential pile that I hate hate hate to move.
I hate that stuff.
Also, I have two old computers to dispose of. Blech.
What if they got left in the storage space, accidentally?

That means Val gets to deal with them. Thanks Cindy. Thought we were buds :).

Definitely. I got rid of a ton of stuff before the move, and I am still getting rid of more.
Must check for rerun of MTP.
I enjoyed Guy's show -- I was a little worried but it was good.
And ION:
The New York Times says that Diane Farr got married AND has an interview with David Krumholtz. . . uh unrelated things.

But you're moving out, too. What if you accidentally left them in the storage space?
What if you snuck them into Not!Emily's boxes?

I missed it, but it is the Food Network, so they will probably repeat it a million times.

There isn't a storage place. There's just the apartment.
One time I was moving within the same building, up one flight of stairs, so I didn't think really packing everything was so important. My friends HATED me, as they carried random things up the stairs. I am terrible at the end of packing -- I always think I'm "really almost totally done" when actually there are several more boxes worth of stuff that needs taking care of. (Huge thanks to msbelle for getting me over the hump the last time I moved.) Yet another reason why I should never leave this apartment.
I found that last-minute tossing into the car wasn't an option. It was just another thing to pack. And stuff had to get tossed if it couldn't fit in it discreetly--no computer in the back seat, for instance.
I didn't mind driving across the country, but I'd rather have done it with an empty car.
