moving woes 1

my packing tape doesn't stick to cardboard but it does stick to itself so i swear to fuck i'm gonna mummify some boxes

moving woes 2

i have a large decorative bowl that i need to throw away. i was tapping it with my fingernails and almost managed to convince myself that it's plastic. i wasn't sure, though, so in order to test the material, i did what any sensible, responsible adult would do, and gave it a good tap with a hammer.

it's definitely glass.

(i didn't break the bowl but it made an impressive ringing noise. also it didn't even matter in the end because apparently non-packaging glass (that is, everything except jars and bottles) goes in the same bin as plastic where i am.)

to a person with a few assorted objects in a plastic bag...

no, i am not a person with a hammer to whom every problem looks like a nail. i have an entire toolbox (a plastic bag) containing:

• a hammer
• a philips head screwdriver
• a butter knife (flathead screwdriver)
• a measuring tape
• a toothbrush
