Good morning!  Thanks to jet lag + time change, I am awake before eight o'clock now without even trying.  It's madness.  And since I'm taking care of the dog, I'm even out of my pajamas.  And it's not even nine. Crazygonuts ( Read more... )

I got in at 10 pm Pacific or 2 am Haitian time. I would have posted then, but I had a migraine so bad I thought my head was, literally, going to explode. It's a little better, but I now have a shiny new prescription for Midrin. Yays! So I thought I'd write this up before I got a little, you know, loopy ( Read more... )

Thanks to your generosity, I'm heading off to Haiti. Tonight, I'll be in Miami. Tomorrow, I meet pinkfinity! Eeee! And then I meet up with my uncle and second cousin and we head to Port au Prince ( Read more... )

Somebody totally lifted my backpack at the Copenhagen train station today.  Everything important was in my H&M canvas bag over my shoulder, but my fleece-lined goretex is history.  And so is the down vest I borrowed from another girl.  It happened SO FAST.  Four of us split a cab to the station.  We unloaded the cab, I had never taken my messenger ( Read more... )

First of all, I'm totally behind on comments.  Which is, I don't know, freaky?  I never thought I'd have enough comments to get behind on comments.  I'm coming, I promise.

The really sad thing is that I am no longer in Greenland proper.  Last night we took an overnight flight back to Copenhagen.  And I really, really didn’t want to go.  Copenhagen ( Read more... )

First of all, I got a summergen story!  And it rules!  So go over here and read it.  I wanted something about the music that Sam listened to during the Stanford years and this is a unique and touching take on it.  And I do love me some Dean POV.  As an aside, to the talented and anonymous author, I apologize for not being able to comment right away ( Read more... )

But first, the Olympics.

1) Michael Phelps needs to let me have his baby.  No, seriously.  No, seriously.  With his little swim knicker-thingies barely hugging his beautiful, rugged hip bones.  *shivers*

2) I'm just grateful we took home the silver in Women's Team Gymnastics.  I don't even have it in me to be pissed about the whole thing because we ( Read more... )

So, I'm headed back to Copenhagen tomorrow on the overnight ferry. I'll spend one night in a real hotel, mostly doing my laundry in the bathtub, and then I'm joining up with a group from my university back home. A couple days studying at a University there, then two weeks in Greenland (no, really, Greenland), and then back to Copenhagen. And ( Read more... )

Elisabeth doesn't get it, but I think it's pretty hilarious.  Then again, amusing myself has always been a particular talent of mine.

Anyway, things are wrapping up here today and I’m actually pretty bummed about it. I wasn’t crazy about the class and I didn’t really like most of the students, but the country is beautiful, I can now speak marginal ( Read more... )

Okay, this is kind of a short little update, but I've been busy having my soul sucked from my body by the plural form.  I sit in grammar class for at least an hour and a half a day and every time I leave feeling stupider than when I went in.  I'm no expert, but I've been in college a while and I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work.
