I've marked the 65th anniversary of D-Day by marathoning through seasons 2 and 3 of Foyle's War. I was going to go on a crusade of finding quality television for the summer until I realized I already have it right here on my computer. It's a great, great show and today more than ever was the right time to indulge in its glory and feel grateful that ( Read more... )

To everyone who sent me messages and left me birthday gifts and pretty things, thank you very, very much! I do know how lucky I am and they do not go unappreciated, even if sometimes it takes me forever to respond on LJ. As you may have seen on Laura's journal, meeting her just a few days before our common birthday has been yet another great flist ( Read more... )

I started my trip spectacularly before I left home by losing some money before I even left on my way to exchanging them into Euros. It`s not that much, it`s just annoying. That was the least of my adventures though ( Read more... )

I've been officially on vacation for two hours. It doesn't feel that way yet because I still have so much stuff to do before I leave but... \0/

It's time to offer a massive transcontinental birthday glomp to the one and only YASY!!! SHE is the maker of pretty, pretty things and I am not, but she knows it comes from the... heart (honest, I swear...) so that's all that matters:

 First things first: Poland did kick ass on the flying hill! W00t! Second, Slovenia is freakishly clean and quiet and proper and you'd THINK papper_docka and I wouldn't have fun in a place like that, but you'd think wrong. We managed to be both proper and ladylike and do a lot of sightseeing (but that's mostly because she's awesome and will ( Read more... )

It turns out the internets was not the only important anniversary to celebrate on Friday.

I've been following Gary Arndt's travel blog for only a few months, but he's been a nomad around the world for two years and one day.

I am often asked how long I’ll be traveling for. The answer I’m giving is: forever.

I think I've started contemplating that ( Read more... )
