Well I finally got everything all ready for the trip tomorrow (today)…. got back around midnight and have spent the last hour or so frantically packing, writing notes for roomie*, getting money, passport, clothing, toothbrush, cell phone recharger, etc all ready. Wonder what I forgot?

Said goodbye to one of my best friends for the last 4 years or so. Darren is heading with his GF to Edmonton to start a new job as she goes to school at U of A. I met him through an ex-girlfriend of mine and he and Brian and I hung out for a long long time. Now Brian is in Calgary, Darren is heading to Edmonton and I’m still here. Hell, for all I know in 6 months I’ll be in New Mexico or something. Funny how life is though… I am sure though that we will remain close through the net and all. It’s sad to see him go though. I let him win at pool when we played tonight though 🙂

Anyway, dude, I won’t see you for a couple months (till I get a long weekend to come up and visit) so good luck and all that, my best wishes go with you in your new life.

Now to do some updating and stuff. I’ll be outta here till saturday (the 14th) evening, but I’ll try to update via the UFies LWE page [archive.org link].

“I’m leaving… on a jet plane….

(in about 5 hours I have to get up, eek! I want to finish off my vi/emacs article first though!).
