In which I give in.

[go_team]

I just renewed my LiveJournal paid account. msmithma, this is all your fault! (And cubetime, you too, I think?) Okay, so Peter helped talk me into it too, mostly by guilting me about which of my userpics I'd have to give in and delete... I just can't do it! Ack! Also, I like wasting everybody's time with polls.

Right. I'm babbling because I don't want to go do laundry for my trip East, but I'm going to go do that now, really I am. Also I will have lunch. And I'm super-responsible in general, having left behind a lesson plan for the three days I'm not going to be meeting with my pre-algebra student as a result of this trip (even though the Learning Center's being really vague about whether they're going to find a substitute for me for those days or what) and gotten a bus ticket for getting to Portland ass-early tomorrow morning. Whee.... I mean, bleaugh. Ok, time to work on clean clothes now, and stop trying to figure out if it's possible to get to the 9 PM Amtrak Cascades if my plane gets into PDX at 8 PM....

US East, or Far East?

U.S. East Coast --- first New Jersey, then a bit of Vermont for my brother's college graduation, then a little more New Jersey, then back. If it wasn't such a whirlwind tour, I'd be trying to look more people up, but as it is I'll be lucky to score time to sleep.

What day are you trying to go from the airport to the Amtrak station? I might be able to give you a ride, which'd probably be faster than mass transit.

That's a really kind offer, Kim. I'd considered a cab as likely to be faster than the MAX, too... and I might take a cab to the airport tomorrow if I'm feeling paranoid, come to think of it. If all else fails, there's a late (~1 AM) Greyhound back to Eugene, but I hope it won't come to that. The best option of all is for Peter to find some kind soul who's willing to lend a car/share a ride up to Portland so he can come pick me up, in which case maybe we can meet up for dinner that night? (It'd be next Tuesday the 18th.)

Shit. Tuesday evening both Arlo and I are supposed to be out Beaverton-wards with the single car. I'm sorry.

Do you know about the Tri-Met trip planner? It's pretty accurate about times and such unless the city is snowed in. http://www.trimet.org/go/cgi-bin/plantrip.cgi
