I spent all of yesterday packing things from my bedroom into my car, which I took over to my parents’ house. When I returned, I packed another full load into my car. I’m down to most of my bare essentials (I do, however, still have three computers in my room) plus all the furniture. I can’t believe how much stuff I had packed in that tiny bedroom of mine, and how much I packed into my car. My car could actually hold a storage tub the size of a coffee table, a footlocker, my drafting table, a monitor, and half my wardrobe at once. I mean, HOLY CRAP! (Jules, you can giggle now.) I love my car! I did a lot of organizing of stuff, including all my CDs, which is no easy task. I must have 800-some CD-Rs alone. ~_~ Most of which are episodes of TV shows (I have the full series of Red Dwarf, Farscape, X-Files, Dead Zone, and Six Feet Under!) or backups of my mp3 collection. I spent an inordinate amount of time backing things up to CD before I got my DVD burner, after which I could archive everything on the computer within a single evening.

Last night was pretty nice, as I got to do voice chat with Jules and Ross. We all talked for 2 hours, then Jules went home, and Ross and I continued conversing for another hour. I’m so glad he got broadband…using Skype (full duplex) we could hear each other perfectly clear and neither of us sounded robotic or Russian. (You.want.some.more?) I hope we’re able to make voice chat a common practice now that it isn’t annoying to decipher. :3

Jon and I went to a travel agency on Saturday and as it turns out they can actually beat the price for the tickets to Australia that I found online. Awesome! I hope to be able to buy them tomorrow. The agency in Oshkosh is open until 5:30 PM so hopefully I’ll be able to drop by after work, or maybe call (I don’t really want to call though, I hate doing these types of things over the phone.) Either way, it will happen tomorrow. What a nice birthday present for Jules: confirmation that we’re really coming! :-D

Happy birthday (tomorrow), Julian. (By the time you read this it will be the 10th in Australia anyhow) :3
