Miguel

Tanis

Miguel:  So Tanis, how is your move going?

Tanis:  Oh, you know, I’ve just been kind of haphazardly moving this week.

Miguel:  When’s your plan to, you know, really move?

Tanis:  This weekend is the big effort.

Miguel:  So how do you get fired up for it?

Tanis:  I think once Saturday morning rolls around, I’ll just throw on some, some music that, that makes me want to work.

Miguel:  What are you gonna listen to?

Tanis:  I like… Oh, you know what I did? I bought the, the Best of George Michael. And he has all of his fast songs on one CD, and that kind makes me wanna just dance around and get working, I guess.

Miguel:  I see. So does the dancing detract from the moving, ‘cause you think you’re about to move, but then all of a sudden you have to dance, and you’re not sure what to do.

Tanis:  (Laughs)

Miguel:  It’s kinda hard to dance with like a sofa in your hands.

Tanis:  (Laughing) Well my plan is that while I dance, all my friends can carry the furniture and move.

Miguel:  (Laughs) That’s a perfect plan.

Tanis:  (Laughs) Yeah.
