Stress, and so forth

quislibetIt just occurred to us that we have to move our stuff to New Hampshire for storage at the in-laws' place in slightly over two weeks. I guess we should stop panicking long enough to pack.
Of course, several days of those two weeks will be spent camping in Maine, because, dammit, we're used to doing so several times each summer and haven't at all this year. But we might well find it hard to relax there, nonetheless.
A propos: I shall not be livejournalling quite so much for a little while, I think.
Victory: After several months of bizarre miscommunication with the "we just don't get this whole anthropology thing" human-subjects-research review board, J.'s project that she's leaving in three weeks to do has been approved. She spoke to them in person today, a side-effect of having to travel down to Providence to sign a paper saying she hadn't graduated yet, or something utterly ridiculous like that, which was apparently necessary because the university mis-reported her having finished her degree to the federal loan people.
Defeat: In Beverly, MA, one of the towns adjacent to Salem, can be found the world's longest-running magic show. We have been meaning to go see it since we first learned of it four years ago, and could do so at any time -- so naturally there was never any hurry. But now we are leaving the North Shore, probably for good, in just a few weeks, so we planned to go see the show this weekend with friends. But the show is on hiatus until the end of September.
La Haine ("Hate") is an excellent film. It might even have been a relatively happy film if it had ended a couple minutes earlier.
