all of this surprisingly fits well inside my two checkable bags, although i haven't chosen which casual clothing i plan on taking. my bags fit to just about the maximum size allowed, plus i'm taking a regular backpack as carry on. i can't decide if i should pack up my army duffle pack for travel or...not?

in other shitty news, someone stole my bicycle out of our garage. this is a bigger deal than you think, i spent countless hours toiling over that bicycle and it was like a child to me. a part of my body.
