stuff

i won't be posting for about a week, so i figured i'd slap something up today.

amazon shipped my books and i got them last night. i was hoping to get them before my trip so i could bring them. i got 'red moon rising' and 'the vision and the vow'. i'm pretty stoked about both, and looking forward to the conversations they will evoke when my co-workers ask what i'm reading. it should be interesting.

i'm still waiting for 'edinburgh picturesque notes' by robert louis stevenson. i'm hoping it comes today, but if not that will give me something to look forward to when i come home.

i'm getting really excited about leaving, but a bit dreading the sleep deprivation and jet-lag. i'm using all the tricks i know to get myself into the local schedule as quickly as possible. i have to be at the airport at 5:30am, and i'll be up late doing laundry, packing and watching alias. i'm hoping to sleep for most of the flight.

see you in a week.
