Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Well, you could read the synopsis on the back of the book, I just thought I'd keep you as pristine as possible. It should go out tomorrow, btw. When do you leave for Africa?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A month from now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Cass, I have a Dyson and love it, but it is very spendy. For me it is worth it because of the two long hair cats, but don't know about for other people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You mean that it happens? Or that it has an effect, sara? That's pretty much all I remember from the trailers I've seen, so....

OK, I was afraid my lax mailing inclinations would leave you with no plane read. Or moldering in your mailbox. Though I suppose moldering doesn't happen in LA.

My friends have a Dyson that required them to replace their kitchen floor. It picked up floor tiles. It was a good thing. They have two sheddy cats, 2 dogs and a toddler.

Jesse, that it is the what drives the investigation. Tessa not dead, no Justin off getting into trouble. Not sure who the chick is in the trailers, though. They confused me as far as what in the hell the plot was.

And I just can't see a Hollywood blockbuster that ends with the protagonist dying.

I don't know what I'm going to do about reading materials.

I'm going to need an assload to read, but I hate taking up the space.

For long trips, I take lots of magazines and cheap paperbacks that I won't mind leaving on the plane/in hotels etc. That way as I get rid of them I have room for souvenirs and prezzies.

Well, I don't know nothing.

Speaking of not knowing nothing, I was looking at flights yesterday, but didn't buy, so of course everything's $50 more expensive today. It's for Labor Day. Should I wait and see if there are last-minute deals, or just cough up?

Carry it with in grocery bags and leave it in airports or waiting rooms as you finish. It feels like less space that way. That's what I did for USSR (ok, I left a buttload of vintage-my dad was ready to throttle me- Steinbecks with the soviet volunteers I worked with), Prague, Spain and Africa.

It's also how I picked up reading material on the way back.

I do wish I'd saved one book in Prague. Truckstop Rainbows.
