Packing is a very interesting idea. It seems the necessity of finding clean underwear (you know, because you might be in an accident!) is complicated by many other things. for instance, why in the summer, when i have the summer socks, can i never find them, but only the winter socks, but for thanksgiving, the simple task of 6 (5 days + requisite extra) pairs of socks becomes a huge issue?

It can be related to electronics perhaps. I had to pack 4 ac adapters! (ibook, ipod, razor, cell phone). its a scary world where everything needs its own little transformer and can't be happy without it. or a digital world? maybe something in the middle.

it snowed. i noticed this about 30 minutes ago. i guess i live in a closet, since i had no idea about this from the time i walked home when it was cold and flurrying at about 5 until now. somewhere in the middle 2" or so showed up. how odd. i feel out of touch with nature. i think its because i haven't raked leaves in a while.

its difficult to think of more creative things to say, especially since i'm inclined to go to sleep, but sidetracked by a plane leaving in 3 hours. i think a shower is a better idea, that way at least i can be creative with water. simple molecules are the best.

Dale flowers said he'd happily try to squish my resume towards john nottingham (spinbrush guy, runs design firm, etc). i'll have to hope that goes well, at least networking has some vague ideas. i found out who makes the foam that goes into cheeseheads. its polyone. this isn't very exciting, but you know i've been finding out about all of these interesting products that i own. its still very much irrelevant to anything, however its somehow relevant. isn't engineering life weird like that? time to head out. i'll try and keep updated from CA, but you never know with those crazy vacation things. since my buddy list has all of 2 people in bored humans, obviously the rest of the world isn't very connected, so i don't need to be. bah! happy turkeystuff + (tofurkey as necessary) (gruel as necessary) to everyone.
