skittledog needs to hire Emma's enslaved elf.

NOW Rian knows why ye are feeling blue.

Packing does that by osmosis.

Well except I haven't actually started packing yet...:)

And actually my list of stuff doesn't look all that impressive when written down. But sitting here surrounded by it all...

I mentally put a little beat behind that and imagined you rapping it. It was rather good but I would request that you no longer wear tracksuits and gold chains in my imagination, please.

Of course there is the slight problem of how all that stuff will be useful when you are living out on the wild streets of Derby. Or in your cell when the police convict you for murdering Sam in her sleep.

Hah! I'm glad I only give this address out to select people...Sam assures me it will all fit in her garage. I hope she is right. Otherwise I will have to sort out storage...

And I'm afraid I'm not responsible for how you dress me in your imagination.

I did not misread that as "undress me" but wouldn't it have been funny if I did?

I can assure Sam that you have only the nicest things to say about her. It's just the trail of bodies of former housemates that makes me concerned.

Remind me never to rely on you as a character witness...

Have fun moving. I hope Crichton gets to sleep in an extra nice, comfortable, dry and moderately cool place.

You can tell that I really care about your moving blues, can't you...

But I am surprised that you only have one pillow. How do you prop yourself up for mammoth dvd sessions?

Oh, there's a big fat cushion, too. I forgot about it because it lives down the back of my bed. I also forgot about the hoover and my digital radio.

Crichton...hmm. It is possible I may be able to send 2/3rds of Crichton back to you before he has to undergo the stress of moving. I shall see. My plan to see a lot of him tonight was rudely interrupted by that fiend Reese Witherspoon, though.
