Well, just to update y'all: I made it back home safely.
Yes, I am once again in New York. Over the course of the next few days I'lll be updating my web site to reflect this.
A bit about the trip.... Packing was simply awful. I was, literally, Not Jonathan this past Friday. I kept throwing stuff in the trailer, coming back to the apartment, and finding something else that needed packing. Packing alone stinks like nothing else.
I was right, though, in that once I got on the road I'd be all right. And I pretty much was, the drive was uneventful except for a few... issues. Here they are. (Gaze in awe upon my 1337 #7m1 $ki11z! Or not. =) )
Fear Non Sequitor Man: While I was in Maryland spending the night, I caught Deep Blue Sea. I think Samuel L. Jackson has the most... ignominous... death... EVER in that movie. I mean, really. Speech speech speech speech speech speech SPLASH CHOMP.
( Melancholy Musings within. Take Prozium before opening, Librian! )
Well. Tomorrow is going to be a lot of unpacking. I also need to return the trailer, and then I can...
Well... try to find a job. In an economy that sucks mountains.
The biggest fear I have right now is that in four month's time I will be saying, 'Would you like fries with that?' But I gotta be positive. I will get a job in computer animation. Even doing flying logos can be very cool. So I have to hold on to that.

- All northbound parts of the beltway were closed from about 8PM Saturday night to 10AM Sunday morning. I learned this at 6:16 PM (1815) on Saturday, seventy miles from the Beltway. It was a classic case of mob behavior. As we were tooling along I-95 North, we saw the flashing sign giving us this vital closure information. There was perhaps one mile after where we were all considering our options... then bit by bit the ambient driving speed started to increase. We were all thinking the same thing: If we hurry, we can make it. We did not. Turns out they meant SIX PM, not 8. I ended up stopping about an hour earlier than I wanted -- not a bad thing -- and got a good rest.
- There was a two-mile backup. Turns out a company that makes log cabin homes was making a demonstration model. So of course everyone on I-95 decided to stop and watch. Dumbkopfs!
- As further proof that the road gods were colluding against me, the northbound lanes (sense a trend here?) on the bridge between Maryland and Delaware were closed due to an accident. I ended up reminding myself in Harve de Grace, MD, why I dislike McDonald's.
