A brief break from packing/moving

The constant cycle of "pack boxes, fill car, bring boxes to new apartment, come home, go to work, eat, sleep, start again" is beginning to take a toll. I think the Professor and I will have to get out of the circuit tonight and take a break.

In the meantime, I offer you this very strange video of elderly banging heads to death metal. Enjoy!

Hey, where are you getting your boxes from? I have to move pretty soon, and am trying to save as much as I can. I saw a website called used cardboard boxes.com, but do you have any other suggestions?

I've been recycling boxes: bring some stuff over, unpack, reuse. But liquor stores are always good for free boxes. Not too big, and your new neighbors will think you're an alcoholic!

Though, if I must say, Delilah, judging from my Statcounter stats, you're nothing but a troll working for "usedcardboardboxes.com," aren't you? Honestly, if you're going to pimp your business on blogs, don't do it from a computer hooked up to your company's server. It gives you away so easily! And you should work on your nonchalant approach. It's still a little forced.

The lesson learned here, readers? Why pay for boxes online when liquor stores will give them to you for free? Yay, liquor stores! Boo online cardboard box companies!

Come now, Ben, you've been in CT for nearly a year now.

We don't have "liquor stores."

We use a more "seemly" name: "package stores."

Haha, that's awesome. That has to be the worst business model ever. The concept AND the execution. Pathetic.

Anyway, if anyone happens upon this page in the future and you need bigger free boxes than the package store can offer, the secret spot in town is the Dollar Store (or whatever its called) next to the wonderful Apple Tree on New Park.

They'll hook you up with big mofo boxes and thank you for taking them.
