ASLE 2009, Day 1

Jun 01, 2009 21:36

After a looooong day of travel that began at 3am and is now finally mostly over (at 9:30 pm my time), I've reached Victoria. I'll admit that through most of the flight from Seattle I was distracted from the magnificent scenery of the San Juan islands and the Olympic Mountain range by the fear that Canadian Customs would find the half-eaten bag of ( Read more... )

Okay, maybe we're different kinds of travel writer and we'll leave it at that. I am definitely going to search for the Leon novels. I love mysteries, much more than I will ever love fluffy romance things. And I'm GLAD that I'm not the only one who noticed that The Empress looks like a giant puppet that wants to eat people.

In answer to your question, Wal-Mart. But that's beside the point. I am anticipating much adventure to come.

Yay ASLE! I hadn't realized it was already happening. Yay kilted bear.

Wish you were here!!!!!!!! How fun would that be?

That would be amazing!!! And there are bunnies!!!

Huh. I didn't know you were heading out there. I love Victoria, and visit it (and my best friend from my Master's program, who lives there) as often as I can.

I would definitely return to this area for a longer stay/vacation type thing. Too bad I'll be at the university for most of the week. I do love the conference, but when I'm in a new place I want to explore it. Anything you recommend here?

Have you read The Time-Traveler's Wife? This Patterson books sounds like a similar idea, but way pervier.

The Time Traveler's Wife sounded too depressing for me. And YES, it was incredibly pervy.

Suddenly I feel as though I will have regrets if I die without ever having worn a kilt and a bear suit at the same time. Or never, at the very least, see someone else *rock* that look.

You know that as soon as Dan actually does it, I will be posting pictures of it here, right?
