Oh yes, busy!

I’ve been chatting online with old friends (and new friends) all day. Reconnected with Julie and Bridgette in Chi. Totally chuffed. They are two of the best people ever. I love them so much. They are the better part of my old band Carnival de Carnitas, and two of the major inspirations in my life.

Dropped an email to a DC couch possibility.
Have a couple NYC emails in play for couches.
Have a slew of couches on offer in Chicago.

Downloading stuff I need to travel with.

Went through my few possessions (Disembody wiped me out object-wise). The photos in this post are what I think I’d like to bring. Though not all my hoodies are in that pile.
And since I’m staying at a fancy country club hotel with Joey for the first two nights of DC, I’ll have to take my suit and a tie.
But that’s most of what is going.

Updated myspace and facebook. Set up facebook to suck my twitter posts into my status, so that’s cool. I f’ing <3 twitter!

I got my stuff in proper storage condition for my trip now. Except the desk and thesis stuff and soem junk I need for doing Marti’s work. But mostly I have stuff ready to go. Maybe a few hours more work before I go, taking the desk and computer apart and stuff.

Making Kathryn’s amazing kick-ass yam soup with mint tonight for my folks.

And helping my dad get an old computer up and running with a new drive and OS later.

Rocking out to love songs. My playlist is 2872 songs so far. That’s A-C and X-Z and searches on the words love and sex. Still have to go through D-W. And that’s only one drive, 500GB. I have two more 500GB drives to go through. That may not happen. Too bad. I could have a pretty rad love song list if I went through them all.

It’s looking like I won’t be dropping 122 thumb drives of love mixes while traveling. I can’t find thumb drives for a buck apiece and I’m not spending more than that.
I think I’ll do 122 CDs, each one a unique love mix instead.
I’m up to 49 mixes so far.
