Lots of moving prep this past weekend. My home theatre is half packed up. Finding all the chewed wires was a treat. As was the nice crystalized dried cat pee. I'm going to just throw out all the speaker wires (one of them really loves chewing on the soft rubber coating), and then buy new ones when I finally find a house and get everything set up. I might try a little home improvement and try and do a closet and wire everything up through there so there's not loose wires. Barring that, at least make sure I've put "wire covers":http://bunnyluv.com/wirewrap.html on everything important.

Computer and "desk":http://www.anthro.com/_AC_LargeAnthroCarts.asp are getting broken down at some point today or tomorrow. That's most everything major, and just leaves clothes that I actually wear (which I'll probably just leave in the dresser drawers)

I also caved and scheduled a cleaning service for my move-out clean. The woman was there this a.m. to do a walkthrough and give me the sales pitch. I just don't really have the time to do a good cleaning before I move out, so I figured it's $200 well spent, and probably I'll make that back in the security deposit. My landlord has been really nice to me, so I don't want to leave him a shithole. I'm getting the moving truck Wednesday, and they'll be there Friday a.m., so I'll try and have most everything already packed into the truck by then and out of the way.

Laura is flying in Friday night, moving party (with beer and chips) Saturday morning, and then we're going to get on the road as soon as possible. Still lots of concern about the cats and their comfort level, but I bought some new carriers this weekend, so worst-case I bring all of them into the truck cab with us, or have Laura drive the car behind the truck.

I hope to be able to do some good documentation of the trip on the way down; when I'm not driving I can take pictures and keep a journal. My stepmom specifically requested a trip write-up, so I can't dissapoint.

In other news, I watched all of "the DVD Paul and April sent":http://feralboy.com/log/archives/001171/; man, you think I was excited about the move _before_?! Everything out there looks amazing; I've already got a list of problems to tick off just from how cool they look.

Also, we had a little work going away dealie at Michael's house on Friday; the spread was obscene (but in a good way)! They even made me "a cake":http://moblog.co.uk/view.php?id=20647... very sweet.
