on the road again..

so i'm off to nyc tomorrow night.. departing LAX at 11:15 pm.. and arriving there at like 7:30 am.. it's perfect.. except for the fact that i don't sleep on planes so i might look like a bit of a zombie throughout the weekend.. it's all good though.. these are my bestest friends.. they can handle it :)

it's going to be great to be away for a few days.. forget about the immigration stuff.. forget about my job.. forget about everything that has some responsibility attached to it.. basically, i'm going to be a total kid this weekend.. well, a kid with a car.. thanks brendan! :)

the reason for the trip is that dima's graduating (from RISD no less.. that's for you jb!!) 3 long years.. endless hours in studio and she's coming out an architect.. go dima!! needless to say, i'm super proud of her.. she's going to kick ass.. and when i have all the money in the world (hey, let me dream).. she can design my house in whichever part of the world i'll be living in.. :)

so, some of the things that i need to do before leaving for the airport tomorrow are:
1. mani / pedi (clearly i have my priorities in order)
2. find shoes to match what i'm wearing
3. pack (that won't take more than 20 minutes)
4. finalize the paperwork my lawyer needs (notice that's #4 on the list???)
5. get the oil changed on my car (i was supposed to do that this morning, but i thought sleep was more important)

i'm sure there's some stuff i'm forgetting.. but it's all good, the roomie's leaving tomorrow as well.. but she won't be coming back till august! :( so.. who knows what my situation will be by then.. it's kind of "grounding" to realize how much your entire life can change in a few weeks..
