So turns out the mystery train trip was to York, where I've been wanting to visit for ages. Stayed in a lovely hotel, ate some lovely food and saw all sorts of very old things. Then came home last night for birthday drinks with friends.

Le Bloke is definitely winning at Boyfriends this week.

And here's wishing more bunnies and puppies and chocolate in people's dreams in future. And maybe some cheese.

Ooh, I loved York. I was only there a day, and I want to go back. Intact city wall! Vikings! Huge boyfriend points, there.

Yay for winning boyfriends!

Last night I dreamt I was involved in some sort of convoluted plot to foil criminals, but this was happily punctuated by stopping several times to make out fiercely with House. In my dreams, he's a GREAT kisser.

She's Hott and Wise; He's Caustic with Eyes. They fight crime.

I have completed 5 pages! 25% of the paper is done!

ps- I love York.

25% is practically finished. Well done.

Yeah, York is gorgeous. The best/worst bit was climbing to the top of York minster. Great view, climb was bit of a struggle towards the end.

Weird dream. My dreams are usually non-political, which is a great relief given how much of waking life is spent on politics. Last night was an exception. I dreamed the U.S. invaded OZ. (as in wizard of, not Australia or the fictional prison) In retrospect I guess it is funny, but it really was horrid nightmare; Toto was killed quite graphically, as was the entire Lollipop guild. It is funny to tell in a dark humor sort of way, but dreaming it NSM - woke up screaming, and still shaking. No more popcorn close to bedtime.

Laura, have a great time in St. Louis! Yay Nora for hard work!

Getting ready for a busy day. Lunch with a friend at CPK (my favorite!) and then watching the Firefly dvds with another friend.

The big problem, however, is that I can't find my Firefly dvds. I think I loaned them to one of my cousins and never got them back. Damn! I don't really *want* to buy another set of dvds but since I promised my friend that I had them and that we'd watch them, I think I'll be plunking down $25 today after lunch.

No big, really. I can probably get most of my money back by selling them on Ebay. Just an annoying and unexpected inconvenience.

Oh, crap. I just realized I should have already left for SuziQ's house.

SuziQ, I'm only running a little late, honest.

hruumph. I had elborate plans of ignoreing the world watching too many bad movies , puttering around the house, napping and generally ignoreing the world. but the orb is out. so I went to the cafe. and now a very small part is saying go out side and do some much needed yard work.
