I've certainly spent a lot of time in the last two weeks away from my usual routine. Holidays are like that I guess, so let's get into things.

Vacations are always weird. I'm not good at planning them out, and when most people ask me what I intend on doing with them, I always find myself pausing and trying hard to give them an answer that doesn't make me out to sound like a boring person.

All I had slated for my week off this week was a visit to Woodstock for my birthday, and a visiting ( Read more... )

Alright, got the inital parts of a "holiday" week done and over with. Got out of the city for a few days (with surprisingly awesome weather to boot).
