Oh! Right! How did I forget that about Kat?? Will hit her up.

Vortex IS in Chile right now, but mostly visiting her brother, apparently.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

down to mixing (I think) goat hair in with the plaster.

Yes, goat hair! It makes the plaster mixture adhere better to the wall (she said). They shaved goats for this plaster.

My friend and traveling companion Katie ganked my SD chip while I was sleeping, copied my photos, and uploaded her photos onto it, so now we both have both my photos and hers. So I'm uploading over 1000 photos to Flickr. I'll sort them out when they get there. Flickr hates me.

The problem with starting a company is that then you have to deal with clients and employees, and when you dislike people, that's a problem.

Ugh, exactly.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'd love to start my own company. Freelance Editing and Design, Inc. Is there room for a band of roaming editors and other freelancers that's got together and incorporated for the group benefits and a company accountant?

Count me in!

Yes, but not insurmountable!

Bought my Living Social Voucher for the Super Run in San Diego in March, off to register now!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Your pictures have been wonderful Zen. I want to see the Globe so badly. One day.

So, it is a brand new day for Suziq. I slept well last night. First time in a few days. Fever seems to be gone, flu symptoms have not developed, I just feel exhausted and only slightly dizzy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Good news, Suzi!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Glad to hear it, Suzi! But still stay in bed.

Thanks, Suzi. I'm glad you feel better, please take it slow!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay for sleeping well! More of that, please.

Suzi, weirdly that sounds like what I had when I was in Dublin. I wish you a swift recovery.

Zen, now I wanna go back to London. I never made it all the way through the V&A.

I intended to go get bloodwork done this morning since I'm working from home today, but I felt crappy enough that I didn't want to get out of bed. Maybe I'll go after lunch. I don't want to put it off much longer.

Got my new phone! Now I just need to run over to the T-Mobile store for a nano SIM.

I have to go back, too, I haven't gotten to the V&A at all yet! Nor the Natural History Museum. They had animatronic dinosaurs. The line to get in was huge and we were weak.

ION, have you ever done anything so dumb you can't even explain to yourself how you managed to do it? Even people who know all the dumbass things my so-called genius ass has already done would just shake their heads at me.
