I'm a little tired now - the drive to Eugene seems longer than it is - perhaps because the highway is so straight. It was a nice trip though, I took my friend Victoria back to U of O, she'd come up for a dinner party, and then took a nap at her co-op while she studied economics. She had amazingly heavy quilts, which were very nice. Of course, now it's 1:17 am and I'm awake, but so be it ... I leave for Thailand on Thursday, which is exciting. Tomorrow I start my malaria medication, and I picked up my plane tickets today. All I need to do is one final project, finish painting the bathroom, pack, and then its a different world for a month. Oh, and I'm reading this amazing novel, "Truck Stop Rainbows" by a Czech woman Iva Pekarkova. The novel has a great voice, and some worthwhile philosophical observations. At least in Chapter 1. So, that is that until post-Bangkok.
