Some of these songs had me in stitches. I really liked I Will Revive.

Bought train tickets for me and my cherub Phil to take the Coast Starlight from Tacoma down here to San Diego. Oddly enough, it costs the same to ride from Seattle as it does from Tacoma. The only sad thing is that we leave Tacoma at 11AM, so I won't have time to do or see anything since I get in late the night before. That leaves me wishing I knew someone who lives in Tacoma that I could stay with, but apparently I must simply hope the local motel isn't some cheesy dive.

I sent an online request for information to the local Toshiba repair place about my laptop. This is the most inopportune time for it to go kerplooie since a) I am leaving in a week and a half to get my cherub and had hoped we could watch DVDs on the stupid thing whilst on the train and b) I haven't got any spare dinars to pay for a spendy repair job. Still, repair can only be cheaper than a new laptop no matter how much I want to justify it :/
