1) i felt the first twinges of it almost eight hours ago and now i'm almost certain that i've got what could be a nor'easter of a migraine.
2) packing sucks.
3) i'd like to extend a special "fuck you" to bloomingdales, where i bought one of my faaaavorite tweed jackets. i love this lilac confection so much, i wore it at BlogHer. my new-and-otherwise-kind dry cleaners refuse to clean it b/c the beads are...wait for it...GLUED ON. thank you, i'll rant here all week.
4) degrassi's director's cut...didn't seem any different from the REGULAR cut.
5) i have way too much stuff. this apt is 700 sq ft. i'd say 600 of that is my crap.
6) this is AFTER dropping off SIX BAGS of clothes at Goodwill, on 50 (thanks Deeee).
7) why do i only get the urge to write HERstory posts when i have absolutely NO time to do so?
8) speaking of blogging, it is surprisingly nice to post stuff on Sepia again. it's been quite the shameful hiatus...but i'm starting to think that my lack of inspiration/interest in writing over there is writing on the wall that i'm ignoring, as i am wont to do. i mean, when i can't crank out a weekly "55Friday"--which takes NO preparation or research, whatsoever-- then...it's not a good sign. :(
8) accepting the truth is so difficult, it makes packing seem like a sample sale where everything is my size. le sigh.
where are you moving? New apartment/city/country/planet?
I would like to recommend my favorite cleaning service, the "don't sweat in it or stain it then febreze it and hang it between cedar blocks" method. I have too many clothes with too many beads, and if dry cleaners can ruin a belly dancing coin scarf (it was a LONG time ago) I am NOT trusting them with any of my precious priceless blingclothes. Of course it means you can only wear said item of clothing a few times a year max, but that's why you need LOTS of glittery things with beads and sparkles. =)

Yeah for Goodwill! And for reducing one's possessions. And, as always, for the ability to reinvent oneself. :)

that WAS a great jacket. oh, sadness...
was linking to SepiaM. until the whole weird Happy Hippie happened -- been thinking about linking here instead; i'll go ahead and do that now, if that's okay with you...
