Wasting time and bandwidth instead of packing moving boxes

I am a lemming. I have started a blog. There are a bizillion reasons for me NOT to blog away, such as complete lack of time, but I am starting one up so that I too can become one with the bloggersphere (a.k.a. procrastination).

I went to the escrow office today and signed the papers to sell my condo this morning. It's amazing how much paperwork is required to buy a place and put it on the market, but how little paperwork is required by the seller at the final signing. I guess a person is less important when they are being given money. They are more important when they are spending lots of money.

Yes, I should be packing right now. But I'm looking at this huge mound of boxes, 75% or more full of books, and I'm re-thinking my consumer lifestyle. I'm a sucker for buying into the advertising that tells me to buy useless junk. And now I'm paying for it in moving boxes.

I'm really going to miss this condo in Seattle. But at least I have stuff from friends to remind me of how much I will miss Seattle... that is, if I can find them in these moving boxes.
