Pointillistic pointer! That really is wonderful, ita.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Kenyon College, 30th Reunion! (Not that close to Cincy, though.) My college roommate bought me a plane ticket.

Everything in Ohio is drivable. That's a perk of being a smaller state. t edit Google Maps says Kenyon is on the other side of Columbus. When I thought "That's *nothing*", it occurred to me that maybe we run around the state a bit too much. Boring as hell drive, though.
Jesus, my 20th college reunion is this year. Holy balls. t edit again Huh. My reunion is the weekend of my birthday. Fuck that. Unless my girls are going. Maybe I should e-mail them.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We have literally (LITERALLY) eight billion "small" boxes that could be used to pack. Your standard book box size. My mother-in-law will not use them because "movers hate them".
My feeling is that I don't give a shit, since the movers are being paid to move my stuff, but this is another one of those things I can't complain about. We are at least getting free used boxes from the moving company.
Also, they won't let me pay for anything, including groceries and dinner, which is kind of them, but also makes me feel bad.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
movers love book size boxes because square shit is easy to put in a truck.
trust me on this. my movers told me so. plus, they are just about the only thing you can use for heavy shit - like books.

Well, anything that's left to pack after they've left will be going in those damn boxes.

My movers would have LOVED for me to use small book boxes instead of the giganto file boxes I packed a literal ton of comic books and magazines into.

Yeah, I'd think they'd prefer small heavy boxes over large impossible boxes!
Secret confession, I really like packing. It's the unpacking I cannot abide.
I am le nubian, because I hate packing, but love unpacking. It's like a fresh slate! How can you not like that?!?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's one beautiful Venn diagram. And it turns out, unsurprisingly, that my own purely religious woo is strong. But of all the other woos out there, including everything where religious woo overlaps with one or more of the others, there were only four items on which I'm dubious but marginally willing to be convinced, mostly because of the personal experiences of people whose smarts I generally trust (ghosts, telepathy, chiropractics (some) and acupuncture (some)). Pretty much all the rest makes me go all squinty and stern. Except for ley lines, which make me go all squinty and "But it would be so cool if they were real!" and anti-vaxx, which just makes me want to punch people in the head.
But the pointillist pointer is even more beautiful than the woo Venn!
eta: I love culling, sorting, packing and unpacking and will happily sign on to any Buffista packing team ever, provided I can manage to get there.
And also, tommyrot in San Francisco, hooray! With bonus Monica!
