here is the most loving being in the whole world. it's so sweet to have him dash up the steps towards me the second i walk in the door! then he'll plop down at my feet and beg to be scratched! who was it i had read lately that mentioned a slight fear of becoming an old cat lady? i think i'm well on my way there. disturbing.

it's obvious i'm no good at keeping up with this thing. i'll do my best. and you'll love me regardless.

so... today everything began to sink in. i'm talking my trip next week down to tn. i've made little progress gettin my shit together, but i do have a whole week to shop & pack & prepare. plus, i've been totally shafted at work-- lots and lots of free time. sure, i'd rather sleep. but what good does sleep do me? yeah, that's right.

i'm so excited right now, i don't think i'll be able to fall asleep tonight. i bought water and foil and trash bags. it's a start. AND i inquired about purchasing five 12 packs of pbr from the one beer store in the area that sells it. my guy says he'll have it wednesday. he best, or else i'm out of luck. the more i think about it, there's NO way i'll drink more than that over the course of the whole trip. consider: i'm driving AND i'll be toking the green. drinking is never much fun anyway!

just now i made another crucial purchase. i'm actually buying a camp stove (i SHOULD own one) so i can have my coffee. let's see here-- water, beer, coffee. sounds about right.

in other news: i went to see boyd a week and a half ago at the black cat-- a small club in dc. actually, he guested on four songs with good brother earl. the band wasn't half bad, and it was certainly worth the effort to make it to the show. the man is a beast, and he's gracious to boot! it set up a nice tease for these first two shows of the tour in columbus. i'm hoping i can maintain my stamina for a week. i haven't attempted such a feat in months. it's all about will power. i can....i will....i can....i will. and it'll be a damn good time!

alright, yo. time for another beer. that, and i'm rambling about nothing. shhhhh.
