And while I couldn't quite get the reference to start with, once explained, I agree totally - it's a perfect description of the hell of moving. Buying my apartment, humble as it is, was one of the best things I have done in the last 10 years - you've totally done the right thing here - good luck with the move! Ha, I love that movie, it’s an all time fave. And while I couldn’t quite get the reference to start with, once explained, I agree totally – it’s a perfect description of the hell of moving.

But it sounds like it’s a good glitch. Maybe you can refer to it as “the good glitch of the East.” Soon your restless selves will be settled in your new home.

Take many photos, write lots of diary entries. Leaving such a place must be heartbreaking, but you will never forget the magic of it. @sims: Good luck! Take many photos, write lots of diary entries.

Very traumatic to join the current century for Cloe and myself. Moving two miles away will be like moving 500 years into the future for us. Might be a moving movement.

Maybe you should just leave town and assume new identities. You won't get your furniture back but it'll save you from all the disagreeable moments with those angry movers. I dunno.

The only differences are a) I am not waiting on a bank - rather, for the current tenants to hit the skids - and b) I have been in a Best Western for 12 days and counting because the current apartment was found to be riddled with toxic mold and needed to be torn apart just in time for holidays. See you in Boston. I have basically the exact same thing going on – office move and personal move.

It makes me cringe. For reasons too complicated to explain (except to point out that it wasn't my idea) I watched that film when it was in theater release. Way too much of it went over my head. I was nearly as anxious for the end of that film, as you are to close on your apartment. (Adjust as needed to account for apples and oranges, but otherwise please let me have my melodramatic posturing.) Cringe. ...But I'm glad that somebody I respect liked it.
