It's 4:01 PM, and I'm finished with the day's errands and have packed most of my clothing for my Arizona trip starting tomorrow. All that remains to be done is to inventory and pack my electronics, and to assemble a bathroom bag as well.

For the former, I'll need my cell phone (which I'll actually carry in my pocket), bluetooth keyboard, extended power source for my phone, charging cables for both the cell phone and power source, AA batteries for my bluetooth keyboard, and my GPS device.

For the latter, since I'll be bringing it through security on my carry-on, I'll need my electric razor, toothbrush, and contact lense carrier; I'll get everything else on-site.

I'm writing this entry on my cell phone and bluetooth keyboard, as I did with yesterday's entry. It works well enough for composing my entries or fiction, but tends to exacerbate my difficulties with trying to "justify" left-aligned text via word choice, and since even in landscape mode my phone's visual real estate does not provide as much space as a computer monitor, six or seven-line "paragraphs" written here tend to translate to three or four-line paragraphs in more expansive environments.

I watched last night's episode of How I Met Your Mother today. HIMYM tends to be uneven at times; when it's on, it's really good, and when it's off, it can be absolutely horrible. Last night's episode, Of Course, was one of the really good ones... which was surprising because it was fortified with a celebrity guest star, Jennifer Lopez. I expected it to be a "stunt" episode like the second Britney episode from season three, but it turned out to be one of the handful of extradordinary episodes from this season.

In fact, I think I'll watch it again as I touch up yesterday's shave job once I've posted this entry.
