feeling: headache can't decide whether to stay or go
listening to: nothing
AhaHA. I just accomplished stuff. Stuff of the cleaning up nature. Namely cleaned about 8 GB off my hard drive (I'm over 15GB free again, w00t!) and, even more amazing, transferred almost my entire J-drama/movie collection from jewel cases to a 64-sleeve CD case that used to be my brother's but was left to me for some reason and has been sitting around in here for years. That was about... 30-40 discs? Which cleared up a HUGE chunk of space on the floor under my desk where I'd been stacking up all my data CD-Rs and DVD+Rs.
So now I have all this space on my HD and on my floor AND a big ol' pile of jewel cases that can be used for something else.
Why does this feel like such a big accomplishment? I'm such a geek.
Anyway, I've pretty much decided to go to Chicago on Feb. 4-5 to see BLOOD. Now all that's left is figuring out details. Flying would cost $200, which I could afford but barely, and the driving distance would be about 6 hours, barring unforeseen occurrences. Biggest "if" is the weather. Driving in snow and ice is evil enough, but I have a tiny little Toyota that, although 4WD, is so tiny and light that it fishtails on puddles, let alone ice patches. I love the gas mileage though. 40-ish m/g? No more than $30 to fill up the tank? Mmmmmm.
ANYWAY. Off the point. How to plan Chicago... I don't know yet what kind of lodging arrangements and stuff BLOOD's party has made, and Roger won't tell me anything until I tell him for certain that I'm going, apparently. If I drive, I could probably help transport people or bags and be reimbursed for at least part of my gas spendage. On the other hand, if I drive, I'll probably get lost. >> Also have to worry about keeping myself alert on the road, since if I stay overnight with them it's pretty much a given that sleep will not be had. I trust that once I get there I'll be taken care of; it's getting myself there and back that makes me twitch.
Mom and dad briefly entertained the idea of finding something to do for a few days in Chicago themselves so they could drive me, but they don't know of anything they want to see there, and mom isn't keen on traveling in winter.
So that's the dilemma...
Also would be cool to find a way to meet Adion while I'm there, since Lord knows when the next chance might come, but there might only be a window for a few hours unless I stay an extra night, somewhere... hmm... wonder if he'd be interested in just popping into Mitsuwa Marketplace to watch the concert :P
...Geez, I just realized the doors to this event open at 1:00 pm. I'm gonna have to leave at some ungodly morning hour if I drive. x_x Hoboy. I like that schedule in terms of the tour though, cause it sounds like BLOOD and staff might have some time in the evening to hang out, catch dinner, whatever... now I wonder what they have planned...
So instead of leaving at like 6 am, I might be better off leaving the day before and staying overnight in a hotel to ensure plenty of time to rest before they fly in from Boston... but that would add a hotel expense... it'd still be cheaper than flying though...
*head combusts* Whyyyyy am I so broke?
I'm gonna go sleep on this. They say that helps. And anything's bound to help when I'm as sleep deprived and kdjghasdgjdk-ish as I am right now.
[EDIT: It's in Mitsuwa Marketplace! Which is Japanese! Which means free admission and if I leave the day before and spend the night in a motel I might have time to shop for Japanese goodieeeeees! *wiggle*]
