Observations from moving.

[kyrielle]

1. I'm in better shape than I thought.

2. An entire box full of magazines contrives to weigh more than an entire box full of books, somehow.

3. Hauling particleboard bookshelves by myself is fairly easy.

4. Hauling them downstairs by myself is fairly stupid.

5. We own way too much stuff. (This is not a new observation. And some of it is being removed during the move.)

6. Someone needs to invent functional teleportation. Like, NOW.

7. My car's trunk will hold a lot. My apartment? Will hold a lot more.

3. I think you mean particleboard. Plasterboard would break apart immediately on being stressed....

*LAUGHS* Ummm...moving addled my brain? :)

I'm familiar with the magazines versus books phenomenon. I understand it, but it still manages to surprise me every time.

Magazines are more ephemeral than books, so of course they should be lighter...

*grins* Yeah. And I would have sworn - illogically, of course - that the books packed tighter.

Heee.
