[unforth]

Well, I want to do a real update, but I really haven't got the time. I'm still behind on the sewing (tomorrow is going to be a loooong day) though I'm almost done with the first layer, which is good, since it's the most important - I still need to finish at least one of the under skirts; if I don't have the other it's not the end of the world, which is something. Buffy tonight, which'll be fun - I've been trying to construct a back story throughout the day in little bits and pieces as I get the time, but I keep forgetting it because I don't have time to write it down, silly internship.

Anyway, the primary purpose of this post is: Can anyone help me with acquiring boxes?? Pretty please? Either lend me some, steal me some from jobs, or point me to where I can acquire some for free? I've already spoken to saracariad, and she can get me some from Borders, but, well, I need a lot so I thought I'd ask. I need at least 10 (probably more like 15) by the 31st of July. Any help would be appreciated.

Tally: 124 (including what I've done today so far)

Boxes

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

The recycling center on the south side of town has a big bin of reusable cardboard boxes that is refreshed nearly every day by people bringing new boxes to drop in it.

Failing that, Bryn and I might still have some from when I arrived in Bloomington.

check your local grocery stores and inquire if you can have some boxes for moving. often times you can get them before they get crushed or stolen by other employees.

We have tons.

Barnes and Noble might also have some. :)

You're in luck: I have 11 empty book-size U-Haul boxes. And they're mostly brand-new, surplus from my last move. I'll want them back afterwards but I was planning to loan them to y'all anyway :)

You have gotten several offers of boxes and help, but if those fall through try a liquor store. Their boxes are small but VERY sturdy, made for heavy bottles of booze and stuff. They sometimes have handles built into the sides, and they are IDEAL for packing books because you can't pack too much in one box because they are small.

By the way - we've got some boxes and I'm pretty sure Alisha can get some more if necessary. Let me know.

If you still need more boxes, I've got somewhere around 12 of the rubbermade plastic totes that I have for moving. You're more than welcome to them if you need them. This is Justin, by the way. ^^
