Language geekery

On the top ten list of things I'm a sucker for: multilingual puns.

Moving aid

So, if all goes well I will be moving from South Berkeley to Oakland sometime between the 15th and the 26th of this month. I'm going to need a certain amount of assistance--mostly random box and furniture lugging, but it would also be great if someone could provide the use of a large vehicle (large enough to haul a queen-size bed) since I lack one.

My schedule just happens to be full of wonderful things like dress rehearsals during that time period, but I'm somewhat flexible as to when I can get this done. When I plan to do a lot of it will depend on when the most people can be there to help, and also on when the large vehicles, if any, can be there--but except for the furniture moving, it certainly doesn't all have to get done in one day. If I can just have one person with a car schlep a few boxes over one evening and another person another evening (or afternoon), that'll help too.

Also, what's the best place to rent a truck if no one can provide one?
