Today I basically tied up loose ends around town. My little sister came along as I dropped by Ventana Canyon to pick up my last pay stub and return movies to friends I had borrowed over the last couple of months. I spent more in Target today, on myself, than I have since living in San Francisco. I bought two shirts (on clearance) 1 pair of shorts (clearance as well, but why call it a pair if its only one is what I would like to know) some black socks, two pairs (hello two!) of black pants, and David Sedaris' new book 'When you are engulfed in flames.' Summer reading, which seeing how its about him quitting smoking will have a dual purpose and inspire me enough to quit as well, hopefully. Though I am 'moving' for three to four months.. I highly doubt Idaho will be as condusive to quitting as Japan was for David. But I will put my best foot forward and go with it.
So the high tomorrow in Tucson will top 100, and I, of course, will be moving the rest of my stuff into storage. Completely typical, mind you, as I couldnt be more estatic to move my bed, night stand, dresser, and shit ton of clothes into storage, along with my TV and bookshelves... in the middle of the day. And even if there is a breeze, it won't be such a far cry from a hair dryer. So. Fantastic. Because my new shot hair cut will surely be drench from the sweat.
But on a brighter note, it could be the last hot day I suffer in Tucson as I will be flying to a predicted balmy 72 degrees in McCall, Idaho.. with a low of 38. And no, I don't think I could be any happier. With a layover in Vegas?! uh. SOLD.
Knowing I'll be coming back in 3-4 months has had no effect on me gutting my life once again. I've thrown out even more useless shit... mostly clothes though. Well, am planning to donate at any rate. I've erased some 30gb from my hard drive... just to make room for more adventure.. and by that I mean picutres. I put all my old pics and some porn (mostly pictures, assholes) onto dvds. I threw out all the lighters I have accumulated/pocketed over the last year minus one. The lucky ALOHA SALLY. I even went so far as to trim down my iChat/AIM. I'm unsure, but there has to be some feature that adds people to that thing automatically. I mean hotguytempe29? I didnt even have this computer when I lived in Tempe. How is that possible? MLB03? What is that? Major League Baseball? Was I trying to score with the entire 03 league? How the hell is the USA Today and WSJ make it on my AIM? When did I agree to have those two trashy papers on there? And who, pray tell, would I be chatting with? At any rate, I cut it down to four people I talk to semi-regularly, and five who I haven't seen in years on there... but would jump at the chance to say hello if they even still use it.
I'm not sure when I'll update next. Surely, I'll get some internet access at some point. And new places always inspire me to write.. so I suppose I'll be sticking with this for now. I'd like to start something new. Shed even more skin. We'll see.
