Soup is good.
Ugh. I soooo don't want to go to classes tonight. I want to go crawling back to bed. My throat is so sore I can hardly talk and my lungs are tight and achy from coughing so much. But so far those are the only symptoms I've gotten, no running nose or stuffiness or anything like that, so at least there's a plus.
During the night I had the weirdest Sims-influenced dream that had an alien in it that looked an awful lot like pixel_and_bean's Spud. The whole thing was kind of creepy and angsty and incredibly sad, and when I woke up I found myself wondering how I could incorporate some parts of it into WTiS. Not sure if I can or not, I'll have to see how current plot lines go before trying to throw in another one.
Wow, only 10 days until I'm in Toronto! This trip has really snuck up on me, but I'm excited about it. The actual flying there is going to be a huge pain in the ass, though. I'll be getting on a plane here in Anchorage at 5 in the afternoon on the 17th, and landing in Toronto at 10:30 am the next day. A total of 13 hours and 27 minutes either in the air or making connections when all is said and done. Routing through Newark, which is where I'm sure I'll have to go through customs too. Gah.
I'm happy, though, because I will be staying at the same hotel I was in 2004, and it was a really nice place. And this time I get a suite, so it should be even nicer. One of the main things I'm looking forward to (aside from seeing the_kaizer) is having a change of scenery, even if only for a week. Mama always said that folks in our family get twitchy if we don't get a chance to travel on a fairly regular basis, and I believe it. It's been awhile since I've gone anywhere and I've been feeling depressed, moody, uninspired and a little insane lately. Hopefully this trip will snap me out of it.
My goal to keep myself sane is to finish and post at least one Eridanos entry and one WTiS entry before I go. And I'd get cracking on that right now, but instead I think I'm gonna go collapse bonelessly in the recliner and stare blankly at some daytime TV. Might have some soup too.
