Between 5 p.m. yesterday and 5 a.m. this morning, I:

• rode my bike for an hour and a half
• got my hair cut
• got coffee
• got an amazing black satin eyelet lace Betsey Johnson dress to wear to the wedding for fifteen dollars at a thrift store
• got some other clothes in case I chicken out with the dress
• reserved a hotel room for three nights in Dubuque
• reserved a cab to take me to the airport
• laundered
• folded
• showered
• packed
• worked
• got within 150 pages of the end of Infinite Jest
• didn't sleep

Between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. today, I:

• caught a ride to the airport with the nicest cab driver ever, who, upon hearing I was going to a wedding, regaled me with stories of weddings gone wrong
• was astonished at how busy PDX is at 5:30 a.m.
• got coffee
• flew to Minneapolis
• mused about what I would say if required to tell a funny story about Chris and/or Ginny
• failed to comprehend MSP, as usual
• actually checked in code during 20 minutes in the boarding lounge at MSP
• flew to Cedar Rapids
• got within 100 pages of the end of Infinite Jest
• remembered that the Cedar Rapids airport is The Eastern Iowa Airport, as in, the sticks, as in, it honest-to-God looks like you're landing in a hay field when you're landing
• rented a car for the first time in my life (and did the walk-around-the-car inspection (ha, like I know what to look for) and fiddled with the mirrors and seat, but I haven't started it yet; I hope I remember how to drive)
• didn't sleep

Between now and 5 a.m. tomorrow, I need to:

• get coffee
• find a Kinko's and go there for a super-secret pre-wedding errand
• find the hotel
• find the wedding site
• call my parents
• call Maya
• pass out
