Time is seriously flying by. Friday night, pretty low key, stopped by Treasure Island for some groceries, ended up eating some trout for dinner. Saturday did some shopping, got some waterproof stuff for Paganello, even though the forecast is pretty favorable. Never hurts to have some. Otherwise, it's finally hitting me that I'm going to Europe in a couple days. Nervous. Apprehensive. But Tracy made me think of it in a different light, that this is my farewill trip, the last time I'll grace the beaches of Rimini. Dropped by the Russells after shopping to see his broken hand and give him an early birthday present, Sky High. Figured he'd need something to watch on the couch. That night we went out with Scott and April to dinner at Joy's Noodles and drinks at The Closet, which I can finally say I've been to after walking by it so many times, and finished the night off at The Tin Lizzie, which I thought was called Tin Lizzie's, but not according to Metromix. Sunday was Rent, which was okay, probably the worst of the 3 times I've seen it, but still a good show. Made me want to see the movie. At first I wasn't really getting into it, just like the soundtrack which I've listened to too many times, but then, it got me. Dinner at Bandera afterwards, and then wasting time at Border's before taking the bus home during the Cubs game instead of before. Other odds and ends: finally picked up a PSP battery, the extended version, at Target of all places. Last one on the shelf. Remembered an old college teammate that used neoprene socks to keep his feet warm and dry during the wet season of ultimate, which made me want to get some instead of lugging around waterproof shoes to Paga.
