My trip is actually sort of becoming a reality. I woke up today and realized that I’m going to be leaving in less than three days.

But yeah…NEW YORK! I LEAVE ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON! OMFG!

Today has been the day of remixes and mashups.
I’ve had this awesome Gwen Stefani remix, “What You Waiting For? (Jacques Lu Cont’s TWD Mix)” and the M83 remix of Goldfrapp’s “Black Cherry” stuck in my head all morning.

I just downloaded the most amazing mashup ever, which Brian recommended, called “What You Hung Up For?”

I’m also really done with Digitalism, now I’m into this French band called Justice. I love this gimmicky music video. It just goes to show you, I like every fucking band on either Mute or Gigolo, whether I know it or not.

In non-music-related news, I totally blew out my neck last night. I can’t lift my left arm over my head or it like hurts. It feels much better now that I took a shower, but it was touch and go for a while there… it was one of those days where you wake up and go “whoa… can I get out of bed?”

Today’s the day where I have to go to Target and find a carry-on. The guidelines were so vague. I think I’m just going to get a big backpack. I also need noise-canceling headphones and something that will keep my iPod kicking throughout the six-hour flight and the layover in L.A. I’ll be fine if I only listen to music, but I think I’m going to load my pod with two seasons of Deep Space Nine and every other TV show I have on my hard drive that I haven’t watched (there are a lot) and just burn through the whole collection. My iPod only gets two hours of battery life playing video though, so I’ll need an external battery pack.

I should probably get started. It’s already 4 p.m.

I’m so excited about going on this trip! So excited that I did the thing that I had needed to do for a long time…I called and begged my dad to pay for my classes, which he did.

Off to Target.
