Meanderings

I'd like to think that in general I'm pretty mellow. I don't complain a lot and I don't give too much thought to minor setbacks. But unarguably, I am having a crummy week.

Today I had a very important meeting at work at 2pm. I left my house at 1pm. I got to work at 2:15 pm. I HATE THE BUS. Sure the 830 comes every 15 minutes - unless it's late, or early, or just doesn't feel like coming at all, making me miss the transfer that would have gotten me there half an hour earlier. I could have walked to work in less time. But walking is so slow! How do pedestrians on foot stand being so slow? The best part is that work is 10 minutes away from my apartment on bike. Grawr.

Sad as life without a bike is, it looks like I don't have to worry about it much longer.

I called my mom and she said that if it doesn't turn up by this weekend, I can always just take Dad's bike back with me. Afterwards I got all emotional about it. That bike shouldn't be available. Since it is, I'm grateful that's an option rather than buying a new one. It will be a bittersweet item to bring home, and I'm still hoping my own bike turns up for that reason.

I've actually had my dad on my mind a lot this week. There are a lot of thoughts running through my head, but I don't think I'm an open enough person to blog them all. I guess it's enough to say that it feels like it's been both longer and shorter than 3 months, and that I really, really miss him.

Knowing that either way, I will have a bike by the time school starts gives me one less thing to fret about. Now to just figure out my class schedule, tuition, student loan info, and how I'm getting to Idaho this weekend. Oh, and finishing unpacking all my boxes.

Alright people, I know it's uber short notice but I want to go to Anime Banzai on Friday! My ideal plan is go to SLC on Friday, leave on the shuttle for Idaho Friday night, and then hitch a ride back from either Troy or maybe Tom, with bike in tow. If that falls through I'll just head to Idaho Friday morning, so let me know if anyone's interested in driving to SLC and going to the con! Like ASAP.

Check back Monday for more random media things. Posting those is actually a lot of fun. I hope a handful of you are getting as much enjoyment out of it as I am.
