May I suggest, in terms of boxing organization, an Excel spreadsheet and numbered boxes? We used a similar system before moving to Ireland and the best thing is that while everything is still not fully unpacked (it's only been two years, so I figure we've got another two or three before becoming really pathetic), you can go into the extremely detailed list and find out if what you're looking for is actually in those boxes or if it's already been unpacked. Saves the ripping-though-the-bathroom-box-only-to-discover-the-hand-held-mirror-got-dumped-into-the-kitchen-box feeling, and if you're a faster typist than scribbler, it's even better.
You know, my imagination doesn't leap to giants nearly enough. I suffer from a giant-deficiency. I'm glad it's ben brought to my attention. Now I'll spend the day thinking about all the things that we take for granted that might be caused by...giants...
Yeah, I've been rolling around in my head some plans involving spreadsheets and stickers. The biggest problem with those kinds of organizational things for me is always execution-I get too lazy and do it half-assed and it ends up being a lot of trouble for no real gain. But I'll give it a shot. When Josh first started talking about giants, I was kind of like "What? Giants? Really?" But part of the appeal, I think, is that precisely that: no one thinks of giants. Giants aren't "done", the way secret conspiracys and nuclear testing and a variety of other possible explanations are "done". Of course, maybe no one does giants because giants aren't interesting and don't capture anyone's attention, but hey, it's worth a shot. Not that he's going to get to this story any time soon, I think-he's got Transmission to finish first.

it's so much more fun when it's left unexplained....
