Yay Martin Luther King Day!

Here's a dream travel list:
1. so many places in Brazil that I haven't yet been...but here's a tenative list: Manaus, the Amazon, the north eastern coast, recife, fortaleza, Bahia again, never been to porto...

hello! I've been really bad.
I haven't updated in ages. What's mew? hmmm... sbc says they don't even know when our dsl connection will be hooked up. How honest of them.
We had guests over! yay! I cooked a sort of quasi gumbo thing. I'm only calling it gumbo because there's no other easy way to describe thick spicy hot soup in english. Stew makess...

The soup sounds.....interesting.
It's good to hear the pooch is feeling better.
And as far as dial-up modems are concerned, welcome to my Hell.

actually just popped over to say hello and send you and the pupperdo more love. hope all is still delightfully dandy. okay, so we're halfway moved. Tomorrow night's supposed to be the big night, but I may go over tonight since my bed is already there and all. Not like I can pack here with my mother sleeping.
So it's stay here and sleep in my sisters' bed (she's not home) or go there with one more load of stuff. That's probably going to win just...

"escape velocity attained!", may be one of the most genuinely funny things that i have seen anywhere in a long, long time. Thanks for the laugh.
Good luck with the move. I hate 'em, i know that no one likes a move but i mean i really despise them. I often tell my wife that whenever we next decide to move that we're just going to throw away all of the old shit and buy all new shit.
Oh, and Happy New Year.

Why does pie make me think of weebl? Yeah, I really don't know either.
Man, I used to be able to drink like a mad thing back in college. Vodka and tequilla shots? No problem! Now, a single glass of wine makes me giddy and sleepy. Mostly sleepy, sigh . . .
So close to the moving day. Are you ready? (Rhetorical question, that. Teehee!)

Theoretically we get keys tomorow, aka tuesday the 30th. However,I'm not super impressed by these people's promptness. Since technically the lease starts the 1st, I wouldn't be surprised if they turn out to be later than they said they would.
Okay,so I'm just setting myself up not to be disappointed if we don't get keys tomorrow, or not until late.
It's not like I don't...

Mmm bumbleberry pie.
I found the website for the norwegian tolkein society! yay! and another site that sells LOTR, Terry pratchet, douglas adams and JK Rowling in norwegian! yay!
Norwegian/swedish /danish are great because they are mutually intelligible, and have a very easy grammer(when compared with german, or even spanish. ) If you speak english, you already know half the grammer. I picked norwegian becasue thta's the one...

Norwegian? Why Norwegian? Hahaahha... you're funny.
I looked at Barnes and Noble today but all they had were paperbacks. There was a really cool hardbound collected works of Tolkien, but it was $119. I was sad.
I neeeeeeeed Silmarillion...

I am definately getting something bad.
I went to work today, on the logic that:
[ here comes a long rationalization] half my co-workers come to work sick, and what'sworse, having no one to get you to bed or possibly getting a cold from me that if they're gonna get, they're likely to get anyway, because we all pass around the same germs. plus, according...

Slightly because of the talk in the LOTR group, I wanted to read Silmarillion again myself. So I spent like two hours today digging through stuff.. can't find it! Lame-O. Gotta get a new copy...hehehe
shit, I think I'm, getting sick. there is something taking root in my lungs and I ache. christ and a double damned monkey fuck. I have four more shifts in this work week, and:
I have to pick a new doctor after the first for our stupid new health plan. so that means getting sick before then is sortof inconvenient.
and if I miss more...

oooh, sorry you are sick! knocking yrself out for a good round of zzzz usually does the trick. have you ever tried emergen-c? that is some zippy stuff. ginger/green tea works for congestion. yuckola.
tx for the fab-u-lous link. i was crying from laughter over the weebl & bob. i think this is hilarious (as are the other songs), but some find it taxing.

and oooooh, the wanderlust. right there with you, my dear. how i lovelove the travel. yr list is quite amazing. right now i am burning to return to hong kong. i went in 93 specifically because i wanted to see before and after china took over, but i have yet to make it back. gah - its been years since i did any international travel. i hope that my studies take me back abroad soonsoon.
do you keep travelogues? i always wish that i did. i have scraps here and there from assorted trips, but nothing substantial. oh, and where are you going this summer?
GOOD LUCK with dsl!!
The thing about brokeness helping to restrain book-buying is that I'd really like it if I could start restraining myself before I actually go broke! Never seems to work, though.
