the daily dub

Well, I’m mid packing, waiting on my Girlfriend, and almost ready to leave for Burning Man. I’m so stoked. I’ll see you all in a week with photos and stories!

Exhibit A: She’s got a plan for dinner: left overs….
I arrive at her house to see a candle lit dinner table and fresh pasta (along with a shit ton of left overs) and a bottle of wine.

Exhibit B: We’re driving to a friend’s house, and I start to play my iPod, worrying that Audioslave may be a bit hardcore for my girlfriend.
She then proceeds to crank it up as loud as possible and rock out.

Exhibit C: Back at home, I’m brushing my teeth in her bathroom. When I come out, she’s changed into a school girl outfit, with a cute, devious look in her eyes….
/me bites knuckles…

I love my girlfriend.

Late night at the Lab.

The titanium “spork” is a marvel. A curious symbol for the pursuit of weight loss among backpackers everywhere, and an acknowledgement of the fact that you really have no idea why your backpack is so heavy. You aren’t carrying anything heavy. You have a few choice essentials chosen for their extreme lightness and suddenly the pack weighs 70 lbs. How did this happen? Maybe it’s the weight of the fork and spoon. If you could discard those two utensils and replace them with one ultra-light spork, maybe your pack would be light again. This is the reasoning of a backpacker. This madness originates from the fact that there are 16 ounces in a pound. What follows is that if you can shave 2 ounces off of sixteen items in your pack, you have just lightened your load by 2 pounds. It’s quite simple, but it leads one down the road to the $11.00 spork.

I am sooo ready to head out to the middle of the desert and party for a week.

I’ve got many cool things lined up to take out there:

New Camera Gear
Booze
Costumes
Other stuff
and one Hot Girlfriend!

Neil and Julie are heading out, as well; they just procured tickets for $200 a piece.

It’ll be nice to see KK and John and all the plug4 crew.

It’s gunna rock.
