"It's like a pterodactyl from a gay Jurassic Park."

For various reasons, I am not suffering from the post-vacation blues. Yet I feel the need to compile this list.

Things I am looking forward to in the near future:

• Meeting a new LJ person tomorrow! (I would be more specific about who, only I don't know if it is a public-knowledge sort of thing.) Er, that is assuming my phone does not freak out and keep disconnecting like it did last night when I tried to call her.
• Fangirl brunch & Dark Knight on Sunday.
• Organizing and posting Israel photos/recap, whenever I get over this limp-and-useless-in-the-evenings post-trip phase.
• SGA season 4 DVDs. I completely forgot they came out while I was away. Maybe will pick them up this weekend. What will it be like, I wonder, to watch "Doppelganger" without Sci Fi's bizarre speeding up/slowing down digital broadcast errors?
• My birthday in a week and a half. No plans yet, but it's something on the calendar at any rate. There may be sushi. Also there may be presents. (I have been debating whether to ask various family members for the original Star Trek on DVD or hotel/airfare assistance to go see synn if the logistics work out, or something else, since I'm not accustomed to requesting anything expensive. Hm. Maybe ladyjaida & danibennett's Havemercy; anyone read that yet?)
• Fireworks at a local fair tonight, and hopefully finishing Mary Roach's Stiff (funny, quirky and informative; recommended) while we wait for them to start.

Things I am not looking forward to:

• Two dentist appointments in the next two weeks, in which I will be stuck with much local anesthetic and thoroughly de-plaqued.

Things I am intensely ambivalent about:

• Delivering some news at work on Monday. Details TBA.

How about you?
