I am supposed to fly to California for a (very important) wedding in two weeks. Originally I was just supposed to stay for four days, now I will try to extend that another week.

Livejournal was banned in China (as far as I knew) when I moved here a little over nine months ago, and I never bothered to check and see if the government had decided to unblock it.
