It's my first entry... here goes. Rorrie and I just finished doing my taxes and we should be getting about $2000 back in a week or so. Which rocks out and means that I can get that suicidegirls hoody that I want really badly. And Rorrie gets her boots that she wants. I might actually splurge on some boots too. Afterall, we now live in Toronto. Boots aren't a luxury kind of item up here, Luci has like 4 pairs of them. Plus this tax return means I get spending cash for my impending trip to Africa (wooha). Yea for Africa. I can't wait. THe only wierd thing that I'm stressing about tripwise, is that whole 20 hours on a plane with my father. 20 hours on a plane with anyone is stressworthy. My father is prozac inducing. Oh well, I'll take my hopefully fixed IPOD and a few new books and try and sleep most of the trip. 
I know what you mean about long rides... I flew from Hong Kong all the way to NYC this past winter. Seemed much longer than it was... Felt like I should have put in a change of address before I took off.
