It was a good vaca. In my mind, it wasn't long enough. But my body couldn't have taken too much more walking. Saturday, I spent the day with my parents, going to Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, Harrod's, and then my traditional jaunt to Primrose Hill. I couldn't make it all the way without a rest or two, but I made it to the top! It's lovely ( Read more... )

I think I'm going to blow off most of this week. Why? Because I can! Well, I won't completely waste it. But I did tell myself I wouldn't work in February if I could get away with it. And I think I can. I'm going to call B&N and the temp agency though. Do all my usual Write Club stuff. Maybe stop at Nancy's Bagels and continue the Italy ( Read more... )

Just an addendum to the modern art rant I had in an earlier post. I don't dislike all of it. Just a lot of it. I'm really into shapes and such. So I like looking at things that have distinct shapes.

B&B at Loch Lomond. Tried the haggis. I think I'm good for the rest of my life. Not that it was bad, but yeah... I'm good. Drive to Glasgow Airport thir morning... find out flight is 3 hours late. Grrr!!!!

Money found update: 1 pence right in front of the airport computer that I'm using right now. Total: 12 cents, 8 pence

Yeah. So. Orkney is fucking freezing. But it was very cool seeing stuff that's been around for 5,000 years. And the ferry was nice. I didn't get to see any puffins though. Boo! We saw about 12 rainbows during our drive up the coast. Wacky. I have tons of piccies, so I'll have to share ( Read more... )

Navigating in Edinburgh is a bitch. I can't even imagine driving it, which Jess is doing very well ( Read more... )

Well, I'm here. I'm tired. I'm going to try and sleep well tonight for the walk tomorrow! Hmmm... so far we've been to Covent Garden, got some Caffe Nero, sat in Trafalgar Square, went to the National Portrait Gallery where I knelt at the altar of Cope-y Blur. Tooled around there a bit and looked at famous dead people. Got some food... chicken ( Read more... )

So, I got the run around when I went to AAA which resulted in tension and stress! When I got back to work, my shoulders and neck were stiffly sore. Still hurts. And then I realized it's not from stress. It's from sitting on my couch with my laptop from almost 11pm to 5am last night. You wanna know what's really sad? I had no idea it was that ( Read more... )
