travelling plans
10 June 2005 11:05Those of you more experienced than me (there probably aren't many of you!), please assist:
I wish to travel during the 1st weekend and 2nd week of August. That's leaving Boston on the 4th or 5th and returning on the 14th-15th. I wish to visit BOTH Oklahoma and Michigan. This is the problem.
Renting a car will not be feasible because of the cost in rental and gas and the driving time. I want to have quality time in two states a great deal away from here and each other; I don't want to spend most of my vacation time driving. So... What's the best way to fly in a three-city round-trip? Look for one-way flights? Call a travel agent?
Things I wish to attend:
- Bellydance workshop/show with my old troupe in OKC, OK, on the 5th-7th (5th is optional)
- Three Kingdoms Official Mud Party in Detroit, MI, on the 12th-13th
Sigh. This trip will, however, have me missing a Crossroads game and the DCI World Championship Finals in Foxboro on the 11th-13th. Hellooooo, internal conflict! :P
Also, there's the question of whether or not
londo will be going with me... *eyes him meaningfully*

Last night I visted
43duckies and
tpau/
learnedax and pilfered both of their stashes of boxes. I cleared out 43duckies but only took a few from the others... I had a Zipcar Scion xB for the event and it was STACKED FULL. Rock on.
I was listening to the radio on 101.7 FNX and heard a commercial spouting that if you wanted to hear music from the future without getting a time machine, just listen to their station. They play stuff so new, yadda. They followed this commercial by playing the Beastie Boys - You Gotta Fight For Your Right. I found this highly amusing.
I LOVE my navigational sense. I was driving back from Worcester last night (after leaving tpau/learnedax's place, I went there to visit
londo and drop off some boxes for him) via the Pike and forgot that after you pay the toll to get inside the I-95 loop (which I BARELY had the change for) you have to pay another if you want to exit in Boston itself. So I took the first exit I could, for Newton/Watertown, only it dumped me in a completely unfamiliar area with no signs or major highways to navigate by. Just my own sense of "this seems likely to take me somewhere good..." And I ended up on Soldier's Field Rd at the IHOP where londo and I kind-of had our second date. ^_^ (It had been late night, after the Sandman LARP ended, and I had dinner with him and Will and Ken and Peter and
laura47, and
rigel and
bleemoo were there too, and rigel told me to be good to him... Whee!) So yeah, I made it home from there just fine. :)

free time = ?!?!!?!
10 June 2005 20:31As I recently ranted at
londo on AIM...
I have free time, and no clue what to do with it. I'm so not used to free time. Normally I have Something To Do or londo is here limiting/helping decide my options. Right now the only person with demands on me is me.
I don't have to be anywhere until tomorrow morning, and then I just have to be here at home. I don't have any plans for the weekend other than being at home. There are a ton of things I could do: read, knit, chat, mud, dishes, watch movies, clean, pack, sew, laundry... But what do I do? Do I do something fun and worry that I should be doing something responsible? Or do I do something responsible and worry that I'm wasting my free time when I should be having fun?
This shouldn't be hard!!! :P
