Chilling in the snug of the Toad is quality. Deatch Cab for Cutie plays over the speakers and there's an Oktoberfest in my hand. I've been stuck in a mindset of goodbyes recently.

Brad is leaving for active duty. Amber moved to NYC. The future is guaranteed to bring us farther from people we know, making us make new friends.

We watching Under The Tuscan Sun tonight. I'm a huge Diane Lane fan and having spent ample time in Tuscany, I love the film. But during this viewing I was hit with a particual thing. When she buys her Tuscan villa, she's totally alone. No friends. An ocean away from anyone she's known longer than two weeks. Someday, that'll be us. It's a wierd thought, but it's true and it's only a matter of time....if all goes well. Is bizarre to feel sentimental about womething that hasn't happened yet.
