NDBT

Oh my god – I LOVE whoever posted this. They used to play it before Rocky Horror in LA.

The places to go in 2008. Or home, if you’re me. (I’ve been to 8, and live in one of those!)

I was going to actually start updating, but I got sidetracked. I’ll be in Chch tomorrow evening (the 10th) and I’m taking the day after off. Posting then!

Travel – quickly – done the southland, saw lots of birds, the rarest penguin, sea lions, an elephant seal (Ano nuevo is better for that though), lots of pretty scenery, did a farm tour. Will make notes tonight and write it all up when I can. I’m taking a day off in Chch in a couple, so I’ll catch up then!!

I’m officially over 13 months abroad now. Go me! Obviously, taking a year off to travel is more common in Europe, but I guess this makes me part of a pretty select handful ... [Continue reading this entry]

I totally forgot!!! The list for Sundance 2008 was announced yesterday!! Guess what's coming.... "As ever, moody dramas, dark comedies and offbeat romances abound... In “Choke,” the actor Clark Gregg’s adaptation of a best-selling [Continue reading this entry]

So - I'm working on finishing up my last couple of big travel posts. Hopefully those will be up this afternoon. I have a tickle in my throat that is worrying me - I think I'll go buy some airborne ... [Continue reading this entry]
