(no subject)
I suppose I ought to apologize for falling off the face of the Earth. My life has accelerated somewhat unexpectedly in the past two months. Of course, the second I sat down to post this Glicia popped into the room to tell me that in a few minutes we'll be leaving, heading out a day early for our latest trip to BH. Christmas season is party season (I'm in Brasil, when is it not party season?) so we're off to visit Amanda and company and attend sambas that will embarrass me so monumentally I'll look into theories of spontaneous combustion in the hope that I might be able to get the hang of it. Do know though that I have not abandoned this blog, and that I am thinking of you lot. I have several posts typed up already describing some of my recent escapades, but the internet in Curvelo isn't keen on uploading things at the best of times and throughout this week it has simply not been in the mood.
In an unrelated note, if anyone is planning on sending me things for the holidays and has not done so yet, it might be best to hold off. I'll be traveling all throughout January, and will not be able to stop home to retrieve anything. Then again, if it's noting perishable you might as well get it in the mail now, since packages always take such a sodding lone time to arrive here anyway. (For me anyway. I hear the Canadians have far better luck than I, which I do in fact find suspicious.) I'm holding out hope that my contact lenses may actually arrive in time for my trip, but I won't be overwhelmingly surprised if they don't. Just very audibly distressed.
Also, I must send massive congratulations to my cousin Laurie, who it has been ascertained is having a girl, and to my dearest Nicole, who found herself a Bible boy after all. He better be able to swim, that's all I'm saying. My Aunt Ellen is due to give birth soon and Reed acceptance letters were sent out on the 15th, so frankly I'm on the edge of my seat over here.
