What will happen in the future and most other subjects

I leave for the UK in less than a week. Can barely wait. I'm working for the first 2 weeks of the trip, but after that I have real, live vacation time! It's going to be wonderful to finally get to spend an extended amount of time with David, particularly the bit sans work. We're hoping to find a little B&B somewhere in the Lake District and enjoy a few days' escape from the city, but we haven't made any definite plans yet. It's so pretty up there, and I think we can both really use the fresh air.

Picked up John Hodgman's The Areas of My Expertise today. How could I not purchase a book with a cover that includes the phrase "Here are the 700 hobo names you have requested"? I bought it for the plane, but I don't think it's going to make it that far. They never do. I have no book-willpower.

Work's crazy-busy, but I'm getting to do things for an ABC special and I'm really excited about that. The show doesn't have an airdate or final name at the moment, so you'll have to stay tuned for more info. I'm also animating the history of juries. Hooray trial by ordeal! Next time you get called to jury duty you might end up watching our film. I was going to include Hector as one of the jurors, but he's really hard to disguise as a person. People just aren't cubes.

My website is down again. This is unsurprising:

Dear Clients,

At this time our server has experienced a massive hardware failure due to power fluctuations at our datacenter.We are currently restoring last nights backups to a new server located in Dallas, TX. Please bear with us at this time while your data is migrated. Our current ETA on return to normality is less than 12 hours. We apologize for this inconvenience.

I assume the power fluctuations were due to the fact that the electrical room exploded at the datacenter about a week ago...things haven't been all that stable since. Here's hoping the new server is a little more reliable.

I shall sit here and eagerly await the return to normality.
