Yesterday was a weird day. Sure the morning was pretty straight forward. I worked at the letterpress shop. And then I went to the studio where I got a bunch of crap done. Nothing weird there, either. It was when I got home that things got weird.

I ate dinner and decided that I probably smelled bad, seeing as how I haven’t bathed in a few days. So, I took a shower. It was only after I got out of the shower that I noticed that I had a missed called from Teacher Sis. The voicemail she left me sounded pretty urgent, so I called her back. It turns out that my paternal grandmother is on her death bed. Awesome. So, there’s a good chance I’ll be going to Houston this weekend. I’ll have my secretary clear my schedule.

After I got off of the phone with her, I went to check my email. Prince Jazzbo had sent me a message. I figured it was something about Grandma, but no. It was a photo of our late paternal grandfather in his Air Force uniform. He bears a striking resemblance to Jazzbo. Creepy.

Then to top it off, I received an email from my Aunt with a photo of my Papa (maternal grandfather) sporting his new favorite hat.

Does any of that sound weird to you? It does to me. Three separate conversations about three different grandparents all in 15 minutes. Freaked me out. Perhaps I’ve been doing my old man voice too much and Batman is sending me a warning. I wish he’d send me a chili cheese burrito instead.

In other exciting news, it is official. I’m going to Japan. I bought my ticket last night. That was the most painful thing I’ve ever had to do. I sat and stared at the purchase button for about an hour and a half. Finally, I just took a deep breath and punched it. Tickets? Purchased! I leave the 27th of March and I’ll get back a week later.

I did find out something rather badass, though. Apparently, I get two free checked bags both ways. So, my plan is to pack all of my stuff into my small suitcase. Then, I’m going to pack that suitcase into another larger suitcase. The big one I can then fill with treasures. Perhaps a suit of samurai armor ala Darth Vader is in order…

In addition to my toys that I’ll be getting myself, Dave has requested that I bring back something specific for him. The heads of these girls:

I have no response for what I just watched.

Yep. So, that was yesterday. Today I’m working in the studio in the morning and hopefully having meetings all afternoon. Perhaps dinner on assignment to get me ahead in case I need to go to Houston this weekend. Anyways, I’m off to it. More soon. ~SC
