I've been sort of posting pictures and semi-journaling my experiences as a form of procrastination. So far I have entries up for Vienna and Prague. Expect Berlin, Athens, and Santorini at a later date (and expect about twice as many pictures from Greece as from anywhere else, because I went camera crazy ( Read more... )

Really really quickpost to say I am home (well, London home), alive, now in possession of keys, and with only 26 more pages of script to write today! (Yes, I said "only."
