egypturnashWoke up early. Curiously happy. Well, maybe not so curiously given yesterday!*
Starting on packing stuff for my trip home this weekend - as I have nearly every year since moving to Los Angeles, I'm visiting my mother for my birthday. I find I pack less and less stuff. It used to seem like a lot, I needed a suitcase.
A second pair of jeans. Enough socks to not have to wash them. Enough shirts and undies. A few CDs and my Discman (how I wish I had the funds for an iPod). Some books for the plane. And my current sketchbook, and the last few month's worth of them. Two black hardcovers, for the past four months. Other, slightly thinner books, have taken six to eight months to fill... I think how fast I go through these depends on how happy I am. Pencils and sharpener, of course.
And the plane tickets. Those are important. Last year I thought I had them, but I didn't, and things were nightmarish. I have learned. This time, the entire envelope from the travel agency is in the bag, with every single bit of paper still in it.
One bag.
It's just a weekend.
Just another year passed.
*Yesterday's events are locked entry because I don't like to talk about work-related stuff in public. Suffice it to say that it looks like I'm finally lifting out of grumpy tech minion stuff at Spümcø. When things are confirmed enough that I'm actually being officially paid for this, I'll reveal details about this project and my role.
