Thanks to A/X at Copley Place, I was able to redeem my spastically unhip pre-birthday present.

This time, there’s black leather in a lean-looking, upscale biker style. Phew.

It was so easy finding a good replacement jacket, I’ll at least stand by my decision to buy a placeholder jacket that was fully returnable.

What a fucking awesome day, too. It was about 50 degrees and I walked around the Back Bay running errands (like returning the bad jacket) and meeting up with M. at LinuxWorld. As I walked around (listening to mostly Cowboy Junkies on my new iPod Shuffle) I couldn’t help but think about how I won’t be strolling through Boston again real soon.

Yesterday, I paid a deposit for some cross-country moving action. Unfucking real, but soon I’ll be in my car starting up a new thang.
