Could we skip August and go straight to September, please?

[resonant]

My imaginary friends, I've just learned that the kidlet has band camp the week before school starts, which means I have a little over three weeks to get the two of us and the Bobkitten settled in The New City. (The spouse and most of the furniture will have to straggle along later, once his internship is over.)

It's been lovely but I really have to scream now.

So! Thinking about something else now!

We saw The Lone Ranger tonight, and I enjoyed it more than I expected to, but I still can't believe this stirring anti-capitalist tale was brought to us by the Disney Corporation.

Also, it hadn't occurred to me until now that in its time, train robbery was a high-tech crime! Pretty much the equivalent of identity theft! Only done by people with fewer teeth!

I like to imagine that the kid in the frame story was Captain America.

Hey there! Finding the computer was more complicated than I thought as it turned out I'd packed it already before offering it to you. However, I have now unearthed it, and it seems there's a post office a couple blocks from my new place, so it'll be en route tomorrow, unless it rains, in which case Monday. Still ok with the old address?

Moving is the WORST, my sympathies to you.

(I tried to send this as a DW message but it told me you'd chosen not to receive them -- did you know that?)

I did not know that! At some point I'd better dig up my profile and see how to undo that.

There's really no rush, and if you wanted to wait till we had the new address, that would be OK -- but the old one is fine at this point. The spouse will be there till early September, and [groan] we'll have to make many trips back for stuff we've forgotten!

Ooooh, sympathies on the moving. The anxiety was a dear friend of mine for about six months last time. Be kind to yourself! Nothing has to be perfect. Just get there and sort out the rest as you go.

OOH, I love the Captain America connection. The timing is totally right! As soon as you said it, though, I also tried to crossover with the Avengers by making him Coulson--can you imagine such a long life of witnessing extraordinary things? And, really, being the catalyst for the extraordinary people to transition...into the sunset or into teams or whatever. Sorta poetic.

I'm glad someone else enjoyed the Lone Ranger in a perplexing way, but I still can't quite explain why I liked it or why I think it's perplexing.
