after one long season of waiting

I did this last 3 years, 7 months and 11 days ago... let's do it again! (Okay, if I'm going to be completely forthright, I saw apple_pathways do this and went "Oh, that's always fun, and I do need to clean out my bag!")

( Let's see what's changed since college! )

All in all... I'm surprised that it's not messier. It think the turn-over rate for my bag is much higher than it was for my backpack, though, because I constantly have to pack light. Normally my lunch container is in there as well, but mine suffered a bit of a microwave mishap today and I had to toss it. If I'd done this in the morning, it'd also contain a couple of peaches or plums. Also not pictured is my iPod, which usually rides in the raptor bag since I can't seem to listen to it while riding anymore.

Notice how every mundane object this time around gets an explanation, whereas most things in the old post had a story? Sigh. Adult life just isn't as much of an adventure, I guess. Or I'm doing it wrong. (I'm completely open to that interpretation, but there don't seem to be any instructions, so I'm doing the best I can under the circumstances.

The Box is here. My computer is still giving me the silent-and-working treatment... so now I really don't want to give it up. Though it did grumble at me a bit when I shut it down last night, so I know it hasn't magically fixed itself. I'm way too sentimentally attached to this poor computer. If it comes back and they've done something horrible to it, I'm going to be so sad.

Plus, from this point on, I will be computerless for an indefinite period of time. I was doing so well earlier this week when I was weaning myself away from this, but... ahhh, my computer should not have decided to work last night. I have papers to write! I... I... omgwtf am I going to do??

( I am going to document its departure in pictures )

Oh, and my dear trusty iPod Pantalaimon? I know your hard drive isn't happy with me either. Fine, I can replace most of the songs you've lost recently, since 60% of what's on you is from my own CDs. But please... throwing random things onto my playlists is a new version of not cool I'm pretty sure I'm not happy with. I even put up with the fact that you've been too confused lately to deal properly with my rotating not-played-in-a-month playlist. I've left it alone. Don't make me go crying to the apple store downtown with you, because I'm not even sure we have your receipt anymore. And if you break too, I think I'll be more lost than I can even imagine right now.
