Conclusion: I do so hate packing. And cleaning, especially when I still have to live here for another few days. I think I'll eat all my meals sitting on the easily-cleanable kitchen floor, a la the vegetable platter in the townhouse basement a few years ago. Also, I had way too much stuff. I'm leaving like 75% of the things I had here in Kamloops this time. Only 1.5 days of work left before I'm back to BC!

On a bitter, jaded note, my Fantasy Baseball team has apparently decided to collectively display the sports skills of retarded wombats this week, and delivered the worst performance of the entire season, ending my playoff run. Chris Carpenter, who had won every game he'd pitched since JUNE (!!!) delivered not one, but TWO horrendous games this week. Hotshot young starters Rich Harden and Zach Duke? Out with injuries. Season-of-his-life phenom Morgan Ensberg? Injuries. I'd continue but honestly I can feel the rage seeping into my brain already, so I'll stop. I just hope Spigs loses, that bastard.

Also, my cousins and I have picked up the habit of relentlessly mocking emo bands/music/names over the past few months. As an example, really, is there anything easier than making up an emo song name? How about Fires in My Burning Tears? Bleeding Our Love Away? All I Needed Was You? I don't even know where I'm going with this, I'm not even saying emo music is bad. It's just so easy and fun to make fun of is all. And that's just the music. Emo livejournalists are so much better. I swear, someone should make big directory of emo LJ'ers and I'd read it all day at work until I couldn't laugh any more.
