Is this too ambitious for a 2009 summer travel plan? I have an itch to travel, and I know that this summer is one of the last opportunities I'll have to do this kind of ridiculous sweep of a continent before I have to settle down and get a real job. (If any of those are even available in late 2009, that is.) Assuming money is no object, my idea... ( Read more... )

Do you know how fantastically distracting my vacation was?

Britney Spears shaved her head on February 16th and I didn't find out until today.

I've just discovered that game four of the Dallas Mavericks at Phoenix Suns West Coast Conference Final is on channel five this morning at two. If only I knew somebody who didn't mind me watching their TV at two in the morning.

I am so close and yet so far.

I only have about three weeks left that I will actually be spending in England. I'm making a list of all the things I haven't done yet that I think I should probably do before I leave. What is up with me and lists these days ( Read more... )

After mostly filling up the little bag with many, many heavy trinkets, I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to make it home in the luggage I have, though I will be cutting it very fine. Fine enough that if you were planning on sending me, you know, a boulder, you should probably rethink that plan ( Read more... )
