Marinating in Farts and Fear

First, before I continue I'd like to just say that I love Arc'teryx! What a wonderful company. They are rather pricey, but I really appriciate they're costumer service. I go on and on about Bruce (my Arc'teryx Altra 62), but I think it was one of the best investments, especially if your carrying something like that around and have no idea what you're going to be doing. They replaced both buckles on my bag, which ended up breaking during my trip. The first one was replaced by another company, but I brought up the issue with them and they gladly replaced it.

I've got my list down proper but I'm not going to upload it until about tomorrow. I have a handful things to get before I leave. I didn't know the fun fact about the life span of tooth brushes (3-6 months) and now my teeth just laugh when the bristles run over them.

Additionally, I need a hair brush. They actually fall apart. Its not a thing that lives forever. The plastic bits fall off and soon your carving ancient mystic symbols into your scull. According to hair dressers I should be combing wet hair with a comb, but really, the brush is quick and tidy, and, while I am concerned about my hair, I don't think my hair is going to up and move if I maintain my use of a brush.

Travel tooth paste. I don't need to explain that really. I'm traveling and its tooth paste. I come off the plane having sat in 5.5 hours marinating in recycled farts, time travel and fear masked with t.v dinners, brushing my teeth is a priority, because then at least my mouth doesn't resemble what the rest of me has been doing.

My feelings towards souvenirs.

Then, the bane of purchasing if your using a backpack, I must acquire souvenirs. I do like the people I'm giving these gifts to, but I have a limited amount of room! There are things I could bring! My lucky piece of horse hair. My batman suit. A wig for special occasions. C'est la vie I suppose.

Tomorrow, the book break down... How I will endure the 6.5 hour flight over a distance that took the vikings 5 years, frost bite and cannibalism, by complaining about small beverages and whining about the video selection.
