6 hours and 12 minutes till the live letter.

I hope they give us the patch notes after the live letter tonight.

I'm sorry that this is off topic but what movie is that signature from? >_>

The image you've quoted is probably from Polar Bear Cafe (Shirokuma Cafe), could be episode 36 where Grizzly is trying to hibernate while Panda and Polar Bear is harassing him.
As for the OP signature, I'm not sure.

I look forward to the patch a lot and also wait eagerly for the patch notes so I can make a plan what to do first. The only thing I am worried about is that there will probably be numerous downtimes around the patch, followed by the introduction of the PS4 and probably even more patches and downtime. I really hope SE over time finds a way so we can just download an update instead of shutting everything down to deploy their code.

Day..... 3!!!!

In reality, we're probably 9 or 10 days. 7 days until a 24hr maintenance, 8 days until you can log in, and 10 days until all of the subsequent emergency patches go live to fix whatever the main patch broke.

A patch this big? We'll be suffering from "1 minute server coming down warnings" right through the weekend and into next week I expect.

I'm not planning to do much at all with any of the new things until likely next week, just to avoid some of the bugs that I know will crop up and likely burn some players.
