All in all, it took be a bit over two hours. My biggest concern is that I will forget something… from past experience I’ve come to the conclusion that when you go somewhere, you always forget something. And this is doubly concerning to me now, because as I was crossing things off my checklist, I thought of something else that I should take… then when I went to get it, I forgot what it was.

So for the moment, I’m sitting here hoping that I’ll remember what it was, if it was important… but altogether not actually thinking about it very much. Instead, I’m watching Stargate: SG-1 and winding down.

I don’t know what the plan for tomorrow is, but I know Thomas wanted to hang out, so I’ll probably do that… I also need to go somewhere and get a new pair of headphones, since mine are broken (again). Oh yeah, and Erik Singer is going to be in town, so plans will probably include him as well. But whatever, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, I suppose. Unless somebody knows of something else I need to be doing tomorrow…?

Nonsense! http://www.rintaun.net/2008/09/09/5-days-nonsense/ http://www.rintaun.net/2008/09/09/5-days-nonsense/#comments Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:00:26 +0000 Matthew Lanigan http://www.rintaun.net/?p=26 As of this moment, it is almost exactly five days until I will board my first flight from Pittsburgh to Detroit; after that, it’s a mere 3 hours until I’m on my way to Japan. This, to me, is nonsense. It doesn’t register properly in my brain, and I have no clue what to think about it, really. So for the moment I’m just passively accepting it and moving on with my life for the moment. I haven’t even started packing yet. Does that make me crazy? Maybe. Do I care? Not really.

Right now, I am helping my mother babysit my twin nephews. They were born August 1st, so they’re just over a month old… It’s kinda upsetting to me that when I next see them, they will be just over a YEAR old.

Anyway, I’ll probably pack late Saturday night… that sounds like something I’d do. In the mean time, I may update again, I may not… who knows. Honestly, I don’t think much is going to change between now and when I leave…
