Packing

tiffany:

I’ve only completed one box.  This sucks.  And I’m hungry.

this is my advice to people that are packing for a move:

taxonomy has no place here. dump shit into boxes and give it only as much attention as you would a piece in a game of tetris, do NOT use this packing time to reminisce or take stock of or wind through your past. this should be the “fuck it, i just wanna get the hell out of here” phase and wine should be used to speed up and enable your tipsy and ramshackled clusterfuck boxes o’ whatever.

then, when everything has arrived at your new location, you can drink wine and be thoughtful anew about that which has currency within your new surroundings. for this is the time to look back and smile wistfully or with gentle mirth as you pull the haphazard treasures from their cardboard chariots.

also: throw out/donate/upcycle 1/3 of your shit. seriously, make a “well, i never used this fuckin’ thing” pile and pare it the fuck down already.

hope that helps!

here's yr damn note, nik. because i'm awesome like that.
