BT, are you bringing Wallybee to the US? Because vacationing together is pretty serious romantic stuff. Go you!

I don't know at this stage. Basically, if we're still together come August, then I think that's long enough to be holidaying together. And since I'm drawing up plans now, I need to account for the possibility.

we just have a Situation and I might not get to f2f anymore so...

Fuck. That. Shit.

shakes tiny fist at the universe.

If there's any GetErikaToTheF2F fund, I'd be happy to chip in. OTOH, I do totally get it if it's a tender point with your mum. Bugger.

billytea, go team Wally with the vacationing-together-ness! Nice one. Any chance she might make it to the UK, if you do do the UK-in-the-summer thing? 'Cause that would rock...

Also, the prospect of playing dress up with Jilli is a damned fine motivation to get my arse back out to the gym and try to lose some more weight. Because that would be fun.

It might be more likely than her getting into the US. You wouldn't happen to know, off the top of your head, whether the UK requires a visa for Chinese citizens, would you?

Ugh. Gronk. Four hours of sleep is not enough.

I am pretty sure they do, bt. The US Embassy in Beijing makes appointments, and issues student, tourist, etc. [link]

The US consulate in Aus has a page, too; while I assume most of their info applies mostly to Australian citizens, you culd call them to find out more. [link]

Not in the shower. Haven't walked the dog. Doesn't look like I'm going to get to work on time. Bad vw. No cookie.

vw, I thought you were off this week?

Just from school...not work. I wish I was. I could have used the week off. It's been a hella week.

Just took a painkiller. That's not gonna help with the getting moving.

now, is ginger Snaps a real horror movie or can I watch it at night?

You can totally watch it at night.
