Last October, I was antsy and itching for a getaway. I had Don Draperian fantasies of getting out of the city, country, and continent if but for a few crazy days. I borrowed a travel book, visited Flight Centre, and spent days and nights toying with the idea of just going. Just like most things I think about, it never came to pass. Considering that I actually spent October apartment hunting and packing, it was just as well. I mean, you can't live in a vacation.
Now, it's April, and I'm getting that itch again. Remember how I wanted to see My Bloody Valentine, and lamented that their reunion tour was coming nowhere near here? Well, they're touring again--and one of the dates is in Seattle. That's close enough to be affordable enough for me to swing. I immediately booked time off and started plotting ways to get there and back, imagining that I'd be able to take a bus down there in the early morning and book my return ride after the show. And then, I clicked on the reality check. No buses or trains left the Emerald City until early the next morning. Which means that I either find me a hostel or somehow find a business to hang out at while I attempt to stay awake until 6:00 the next day. Nice.
So I've got my finger on the mouse button, ready to click my plans into motion, but can't bring myself to do it. I mean, if I had a friend with a car who was going or if I had a friend with a spare couch in the area, I'd so be there. But as things are, I'm still hesitant.
Sigh.
On a related note, do you live in the area? Have you ever wanted to meet me? Got a couch I can crash on for a few hours? I can fill that couch, as well as your desire to meet me! Ask me how!
