Packing is thus far going smoothly. Meanwhile, I have to recommend the film This Is England, which I just saw. It's deservedly gotten rave reviews from the UK press -- it's not out in the US until July (in limited release), but I do recommend it, either then or whenever it hits DVD. What was particularly weird about watching it was that it was mostly shot in and around Nottingham (the director lived in the area for a number of years, and has set most of his films here) -- and several scenes were shot in places about two minutes' walk from the theatre where I was sitting. First time I can say that about a movie.
