It's empty in the valley of your heart.

I am mostly packed.

I'm not sure how I accomplished it. I slept till 11-12ish, and I was out running errands for a good 2 hours.

I guess I am a fast packer.

I listened to a lot of Mumford & Sons.

It is always a little sad for me when I leave home.

But, I have much to look forward to this year.

I realize that it is not the advent season, but this cartoon was funny and about looking ahead. I just discovered this site: http://www.cartoonchurch.com/advent/ It is funny, even though its not Christmas right now.

Also, I have finally started stretching my ears.

I will have cool plugs sometime in the not-too-near but also not-too-distant future.

I was able to go from 16g to 10g no problem today. But now I have to wear these for at least a month before I go up again.
