Okay, fly out to the US at 1:00am Friday morning. I feel perfectly prepared. All I need to do is chuck some clothes in a suitcase and I'm set. My mum doesn't think so and I'm constantly being run through last minute things I need to know now. I have an 18 hour flight to read all the things I need to read before arriving in New York and I have 9 weeks in New York to get all the other small things for the rest of my trip sorted out. I really do want to catch up with everyone but I do not know when my parents will give me and free time.
Sorry the small thing on Sunday was so short notice, I was originally going to organise it as a proper thing and give everyone enough notice because it was going to be the last day I knew I was free. However, my dad threw some surprise early mother's day celebrations into the works (which didn't actually happen because it turned out my mum had planned stuff for the day) that threw my ability to plan something for Sunday out the window. Very sorry. Really I am. You all probably know I'm not a fan of having big birthdays. I just don't personally enjoy having random attention on one day of the year. When I'm about to leave for over three months, that's when I'd really love to gather my friends together and have a big thing. With Melbourne, Jenny's birthday, my sister's birthday, and stressing parents I just haven't had the time.
I will try to pop into the Rosemount on Wednesday after my sister's birthday dinner. I don't know when I will arrive and I probably won't stay long since I have a day of my family stressing over last minute things to endure on Thursday.

Melbourne was awesome even though the weather sucked and I didn't have much time to do stuff. Liars were mindblowing even if I didn't get to film them or Snowman for Video Dingbat. I drank many a beer on The Comedy Channel's tab even though my film won no awards. I'll try and do a proper write up sometime. No promises.
