8-day countdown: the to do list

8: buy new translation of "in search of lost time" to read on the beach in the 4 weeks i'll have between arriving in cali and starting school. nothing says starting over like reading the greatest work ever penned by a sickly and possibly crazy shut-in.

7: go through and rethink everything that has already been packed and stored for the move to cali now that i have perspective on future space restrictions and sell or store almost all of the furniture and miscellany i've been acquiring for 8 years.

6: hang out with my favorite people, eat all of my favorite dishes and drink all of my favorite drinks before leaving. (people seen in last two weeks: elle, ross, dorothy, shelby, porter, cambria, mary grace, angela, lauren, tarfia, swen, robert; food eaten: opal's fries, eddie v's asparagus w/hollandaise, la taverna's pear & gorgonzola pasta; spirits imbibed: lindeman's framboise lambic on draft, mojitos with cams)

5: do at least one of the following things i've always meant to do in austin but haven't: see the bats, go on a tour of the UT tower observation deck , or go to stubb's gospel brunch. who's coming with me? (things i'd like to do again if i have time: see a movie at the drafthouse, walk around town lake)

4: return: sex & the city box set to best buy, new stereo to best buy, clothes to banana republic.

3: find the pad of paper that has the insurance information for the guy who rear-ended me last month and file a claim now that i've discovered there is some damage. additionally: call my insurance company who declined to pay $400 of my emergency room bill and set them straight.

2: sell some of the lovely framed photographs from my show as i can't take them with me.

1: have a really fucking good time and take as many pictures as possible.
