*whew* the excitement has me buzzing - but I'd better be able to sleep... I need to crash in maybe an hour or two as I need to be up a couple hours earlier than I normally am
the shuttle to take me to the airport will be here an hour before I normally wake up, so alarm(s) are set already :)
still need to "empty" the camera so it's ready for the trip and the aforementioned putting stuff into the bags
I received the auto-calls from both the shuttle and the airline, so I've checked in, printed my boarding pass, and have my bag-check paid for/ticket at the ready
laptop charged and SD-card converter for the camera with, my usual paper and pen(s), glasses case and even my shaver (hey, y'never know if I may feel like shaving)
reservations for hotel as well as the aforementioned shuttle and airline ready and printed
ooo - that reminds me, put my Zune on its charger and have that ready, too (depending on what the airline offers, the headphones can be handy not just for tunes!)
I already hit the bank... and watched the detour-ignoring barrier-smacking idiots for nearly an hour outside the PD station (wish I'd had my camera with!)
TSA-approved baggage locks dug out ( and keys ;) ), if there's room I'll bring my lighter jacket in case
*Oi! - if there's anything I'm missing at this point, it won't really matter :)
So... San Francisco, here I come...!
not quite a week of twits :
6/11 :
one busy workday and busy weekend to go before vacation commence-eth...
excited and still so much to do!
6/12 :
received mailer offering a free Galaxy - but which one?!? certainly not Andromeda. Hoag's Object would be cool. My luck a dwarf galaxy :(
6/13 :
the spawnlings are enjoying colouring the MegaloDonuts I drew for them - and fighting over crayons and table room, neither willing to move
6/15 :
yes, I've been up since 4 and haven't showered (yet)... I'm on bloody vacation, mate, and really don't give a rat's banana what you think
6/15 II :
bloody idiots ignoring detours, squeezing 'tween the "Road Closed" signs, then shocked/PO'd at the barriers blocking where they want to go
one celphone-addled twit drove INTO a barrier - in front of the PD station! - and another yelled at me to move one. wish I had my camera!
6/15 III :
in a case of "what are the odds," my neighbour across is traveling to San Francisco on Thursday! guess it must be the "go-to" place to be?

unusualist - I have yet to find a religion and/or spirituality that fits my own personal beliefs... other than, of course, the fact I am a (fallen) god.
( y'just now figured out that I'm basically a non-practicing hedonist? "if it feels good, do it, if it feels bad, you're doing it wrong" )
( "I believe in the proven power of willpower and the truth we are the gods we created. No one being created this universe and its wonders." )
( "the words of wisdom I follow will be the words I've written myself based on the life and experiences that I have Lived, Enjoyed, & Survived" )
( "I live not for tomorrow nor yesterday, but for the day in which I dwell - today. Today is who I am, I know not who I'll be tomorrow, nor am I who I once was. Aspects of yesterday may remain into tomorrow, but I'm never completely the same, for each day I live, I learn and this knowledge changes me, rebuilds part of me, and I am anew." )
( "may the platelets of justice travel the bloodstream of villainy, clog its arteries with honourable vengeance, and induce a coronary of truth" )
( "we are all inmates in the same asylum, some of us are just better at bribing the guards" / *breathe ... relax ... kill ... rinse ... repeat* )
( "Who do I think I am? thom Wolfox sR Rhose, official slaveboy, SchmooGod of the MidWest, and RedKnight of Pattern - amongst other names, why?" )
( "In a previous life I was the engine block to a '56 chevy, I lost my heart to a Volkswagen Bus... er, wait - or was that a '57?" )
( "I may not be the brightest orange in this bag o'donuts, but I know vasoline when I smell it!" / "Godfuck Me, Jesus!" )
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave..."
"Oh, man. I'm sensing something very canadian about this place..."
"It's all true, god's an astronaut, Oz is over the rainbow, and Midian is where the monsters live..."
