I guess that's all my exciting news. We were out all day extracting him from the airport and then eating things (wings and beer are always his first demands) so we didn't see any fireworks, and I didn't get to indulge in my usual july 4th television marathons or even take advantage of 3.5x day on gpx, but eh, not important. also it's 1am and i am not the tiniest bit sleepy because i have already let my schedule get completely out of whack.
actually that took about a day and a half. oops. At the rate i'm going in Japan i'll be like "time change? What time change?"
but i will have the awesome green luggage my brother bought to haul his extra shit home. it has a TURTLE on it! lol, since when am I excited by luggage, idek.
