Packing woes (or, how will I fit my lightsaber in my suitcase?)

Well, I've reached that inevitable point in my preparations to move where I have just enough packed that it seems like I have an overwhelming amount of crap, but not enough packed that I feel prepared to actually move it.
Good point to stop and do some reading.

I've just finished the first volume of Scott Pilgrim ("Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life").  I enjoyed it, definitely, but it was a bit underwhelming.  I guess I had expected it to be a sort of an American Splendor for the Gameboy generation-- just the tales of an ordinary guy who has these surreal, quasi-allegorical video game style fights.  As it is, the whole thing takes place in a slightly off-kilter, painfully hip world where a 23-year old dating a 17-year old is "refreshing", "Knives" is a totally normal name for a shy little Asian girl (seriously, why does no one question this?), and all Amazon deliveries in Canada are done in person by a possibly magical hipster girl with roller blades.  Don't get me wrong, I liked it-- I'll be reading the rest as soon as I can get my hands on vol. 2, it's just not the future classic I'd hoped it would be.
The art style, on the other hand, I really enjoyed.  It reminded me a bit of FLCL: hard to tell the characters apart sometimes (especially when a whole lot of them are being introduced at once), but overall quirky and endearing.  The Scott Pilgrim Avatar Generator that's part of the movie promotion is especially fun.  I'll probably go see the movie, too-- I just know now not to expect anything generation-defining.

 Apparently, I am "kind of bitch".  Thanks for noticing, Internet.
