It's so good to be back with my internet connection! *hugs internet*
Generally, I like that my job involves a reasonable amount of travel; I like going places, and the combination of plane flights and forcible separation from the internet means that I get a chance to make inroads in my depressing large to-read pile of actual, physical books. But every so often - like when you've been to 5 states in 2 weeks - it's really nice to get back home.
Still, I did make an impressive dent in my book stack. Finished all the Miles Vorkosigan books (except for the first two books about Cordelia, which I have yet to order from Amazon since it is bloody impossible to find any Miles books in Australia), and am up to the last Dresden Files book (and I think this is one of the rare series which has improved steadily as it progresses - I liked the first few well enough, but I'm loving the later ones).
Combine that with travelling across to Western Australia for the first time, actually figuring out how to use some of the functions on my fancy new camera for the requisite tourist-snaps (5 functions down, 300 to go), and attending two conferences, and I've had a reasonably productive few weeks.
Recs tomorrow, I think. Or perhaps Wednesday, since I have a dinner tomorrow night. We'll see. *yawn*
