My cat is curled up next to me on the couch where I can't help but lean my arm on him every time I want to use the mouse. Sneaky thing. I'm going to miss him.

So! Tonight we leave Alaska for our yearly August trip down south -- and in my case, to eventually wend my way back to school. This was going to be the second Epic Cross Country Trip, with my dad and I driving the Al-Can and meeting Mom in Seattle, and the three of us driving across the country to Pittsburgh . . . but then Mom broke her kneecap and the doctors went NO FREAKING WAY, so.

Itinerary is roughly like this:

Jul. 29-Aug. 4: Seattle (with possibly a side trip to Portland).
Aug. 5-Aug. 8: Chicago and Wheaton.
Aug. 8-Aug. 10: Buchanan, MI.
Aug. 11-Aug. 14: Pittsburgh, briefly, to drop off the bulk of my stuff at my ~HOUSE~.
Aug. 14-Aug. 19: Buchanan and Chicago, ending with me being shoved on a train and sent back to the 'Burgh.

Whoooo travel. I gotta finish packing. I think I have time to shower and eat and walk to the store to get coffee first, though (assuming I get off my butt and dislodge my cat).

ETA: Also, in a display of impeccable timing by the universe, my laptop repairs are done and they're shipping my computer to . . . the Best Buy here in Anchorage. Thanks, guys. Luckily, the Best Buy folks promised they would ship it anywhere in the country free of charge if the repairs were finished after we left town, so we just have to call them up and give them an address.

And then I will have my computer back! And as soon as I get to CMU I will track down someone and say "PLEASE INSTALL UBUNTU ON THIS. Please for the love of God I will buy you dinner. Save me from Vista."

So last night, hanging out with BFF one more time before she goes to France and I go to Pittsburghh, we were like "Let's watch an episode of Buffy!" And BFF was like "I have seasons 1 and 5 on DVD. Pick an ep."

So we looked at Wikipedia and I was like "Well, I know 'The Body' is really good, but I don't feel like watching that the last night I'm hanging out with my BFF for MYRIAD reasons. *scroll up* *scroll down* *scroll up* Oooh, hey, the episode with Warren's robot girlfriend! Let's watch that!"

So we did! And we were like "omg Nicholas Brendon is so cute even when his hair is AWFUL" and "jkjlfda James Marsters" and "jkjfkdsa Anthony Stewart Head" and "hahaha she threw Spike through a window" and "wtf Ben?" and it was great.

And then the last five minutes or so, of Buffy and April on the swings, were "..... shut up I'm not sniffling."

AND THEN there was "Oh, right, we forgot, 'The Body' is the VERY NEXT EPISODE so guess what the final image of the episode is?"

Screw you, Joss.
