So...

...I have all these plastic tubs to put my stuff in, in order to get it all prepped to move out.

Dilemma:

The tubs stack inside of each other when empty, thus not taking up a whole lot of space. But, of course, when full, no more stacking within each other. I see major spacial issues on the horizon...

Anyway, I managed to sort through a bunch of my random stuff and things today, and ended up (drumroll, please)........throwing a good deal of useless stuff and things away. That's quite an accomplishment, considering that I am the king of hoarders. The task shall continue tomorrow. It's not going to be nearly as difficult and frustrating as I thought it would be.

What is frustrating, however, is the fact that the Marvel comic event "Siege" began today. Basically, all the stories I have read in the comics over the past seven years are finally converging. And I get to miss it. An event seven years in the making; happenings that I have been following and keeping up with and dedicating so much time and money to, and just as it's all about to come together, I'm having to leave it behind for months. Go figure.

In a wonderfully timed continuation of recent goodness happening in my Japanese music world, AKB48 performed their new single on their weekly variety show last night. I was hoping against hope that I would get to hear the song, as it doesn't go on sale until mid-February, so I was delighted at the news that my hopes were being granted. The song is basically the opposite of what I was expecting, and is so different from the material that AKB48 seems to structure themselves around. But it works. I went ahead and uploaded it. It's a very beautiful little choral piece. Give it a listen:
