Apologies

30Sep09

This week was supposed to be the week wherein I updated y’all on my awesome trip to California. Only it’s turned out to be not so awesome, and also I’m still here, so I haven’t started writing it up yet. Well, not on here, anyway. I will attempt to start doing so. Tomorrow. Or possibly […]

I’ve already sent the email to everyone whose address I’ve already got, but I figured I’d give the rest of the interwebs the opportunity to ask as well. If you want a postcard from California, leave me a comment. Use the email you want me to contact you with in the email box thingy, so […]

so long, farewell

17Sep09

Can I make a confession? As much as I love to travel and see new places and try new things* and see my family, I really hate to fly. No, I mean I really hate it. It’s uncomfortable, it’s crowded, it’s ridiculously expensive, and the air in those planes gets so dry that it literally […]

“It belongs in a museum!” “So do you!”

15Sep09
