Tetrominos!

That's what they call 'em. The Tetris pieces, of course. Which I just got done playing. Boo ya.

I had every intention of going downtown today, but then I thought "I should probably study. It's been a while since I studied." And really, I was just going down to play video games anyways. Then I remembered that I had a reason to go downtown, what with the not having gone to the post office yet. But I'd already resigned to not go down, so I hung out on campus.

Also I only studied for like, an hour, so that plan also fell through. Man I rock.

So I don't know if I actually mentioned it in my blog yet, but I bought a plane ticket home. I leave August 9th at 12:10 pm, and I arrive August 9th at 10:12 pm. I also have a 7 hour layover in Chicago (O'HARAAAAAAA! [shakes fist]). So, apparently I'm time travelling.

I'm also going to make sure that I see the Brachiosaurus skeleton that they have on display at the airport this time I go. I was too concerned with not having slept/first time flying ever/going out of the country other than Canada for the first time ever/needing food/ craziness to wander around the terminal too much last time, but now that I'm aware that there is such a skeleton, I will probably get
arrested for climbing on it.

Unfortunately, I am not the type whom remembers to check concert dates and such. So last night, two days after I purchased my plane ticket, I looked up the 2009 tour dates for the pillows. And saw that they're playing in Fukuoka. On August 9th. At 6:30 pm.

So 6 hours after I LEAVE THE COUNTRY, one of my favorite bands is going to be playing downtown from the place I just left from. Talk about poor planning. And since I got it through this weird student flights site I can't push the date ahead a day or anything so... I weep for my failure. I might try to intersect a concert date with my traveling to Kyoto dates later this semester, but it might prove difficult. Unfortunately all the bands go down to Fukuoka and back up to the mainland, so the odds of anyone even coming close enough to travel to are insignificant.

Le sigh ~

At least I'll always have my hash browns.
