1) Back from Germany. Literally, 1000 pictures to sort through. Will be slideshow extravaganza of the most beautiful kind. Alps big. Also lovely. So is most of Bavaria and Austria. Oktoberfest = Good Frackin' Times. (Also, many, many beers were harmed in the making of this vacation.)
2) I won something. A skiffy for Best Jack - Gen fic. Feels cool. Also 3rd in category Best Jack - Romance fic. Am moved (I think I actually blushed when I saw the results).
3) Still have of the Jet Lag. Also, confirmed development of new fear of flying in the wake of two ungodly bad flights last year (wherein screaming and crying on those planes -- by the rest of the passengers, not me -- happened. I get very, very quiet and still when I am scared. Does not make for good Fight or Flight response. Does make for good passenger response, as I cannot help by driving or screaming). This is most inconvenient. I will need to look into vallium if choose to go to Hong Kong next year. Or even Chicago at the end of this month.
4) Am still pondering Chicago at the end of the month. Need new gutters and snow tires, which will all come out to about $2000. Ouch.
5) I think my flist needs to provide me with fic highlights from the time I was gone. What was your favorite fic of past two weeks?
