time for a vacation

I purchased a plane ticket today to spend the weekend of October 15-18 home in San Diego for Mary's wedding. It's going to be a fun weekend; Sarah will be home, I can catch up with Mikey and Heidi and the rest of my lifeguarding crew, I can spend some time by the ocean, breathing in air that is not gross and smoggy, and best of all I get to help send off one my oldest friends into martial bliss.

Things are afoot here in Dallas that are beginning to make the next 7 or 8 months seem completely interminable and unbearable. I will elaborate later; suffice to say I have begun preparations for graduate school auditions this coming spring, intention of getting the fuck out of Texas in the fall. Getting the fuck out. Dammit.
