astillarI priced the clothing I'm supposed to buy before I head up and it adds up to about $900. Woof. Between REI and Cabela's I should be able to find the gear I need; each one will be ripping me off equally. Not like I have a choice though. Plus $400 (ball-park) for the plane ticket, depending on when I purchase it. Considering that I'm $15 over my credit card limit already and I've got a mere $108 in my bank account, you better believe I'm asking for a reimbursement check in advance. I pray I get enough overtime on this job to help me get ahead of my bills a little bit. I can handle being broke, but being broke AND having to pay for these big, unexpected costs is stressful and embarrassing.
I won't be doing any shopping till next weekend, after I've gotten paid. In the meantime I'm trying to plan out all the things that need to be taken care of while I'm gone. It's kinda difficult to figure out; I may be able to return home every couple weeks, or maybe once a month, or maybe not at all until the job is over some months from now. I just don't know at this point. The safest bet is to assume I won't be coming back for months. If that happens to be the case, I may have to ask my friends for a favor like picking up my mail and stuff, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. (Don't tell my mom though, she'd jump at the chance to 'house-sit.' *shudder*)
I'm also trying to stock up on entertainment too. I doubt I'll have high-speed internet up there, so I need to stockpile some anime to watch while I can get it easily. I started watching Seirei no Moribito recently, but I'm gonna need a lot more than just one show. Anyone care to recommend some series, and/or other ways to keep myself entertained during the long, dark, arctic nights?

If you want, I can recommend a bunch of horror movies. (much more my field of expertise)
oh, but do NOT watch "Zombies vs. Strippers" that sucked ass XD
