Another night at Gecko's. I just got back from an evening with Amie. She's letting me borrow her pickup truck, whose name is Truck Truck, in order to move the rest of my things out of Lauren's place. That'll be a relief, and I'm wondering if the trouble of keeping …

Crashed at Rob's place again last night. Just got back from picking him up at the airport.

Gearing Up for Asia

I'm trying to not gear up too much for Asia. That is, I don't want to spend a ton of money on this trip, I want to make it cheap. Reason one is so there's less liability for lost, damaged or stolen gear. Reason two is that since I'm quitting …

Friday and...
