Oooh! Life Lists! Cool notion. Hmm. (And I'm terribly impressed that Raq's done 6 of them. What are the 7 wonders of the Ancient World again?
...er..
Collosus of Rhodes, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at somewhere or other, Statue of Nike (?Or possibly some other goddess...) at somewhere or other, the Mausoleum, the Lighthouse of Pharos (possibly) and...er...I want to say the Pyramids of Giza, but I don't know if it's so. Hmm.
...No, I'm going to have to go and check out the interpipe for this, aren't I? And there's no time right now. Grr.
I touched a bit of the original Mausoleum once, when I was in the cellars at The British Museum. Even though you're not supposed to. Because I am nawty. But I've still not made it outside the airport in Athens, so the rest of the Greek wonders, not so much with the visiting.
Hmm.
Still want to:
- figure out this Pulling Thing
- visit newly-discovered Pyramid in (iirc) Croatia
- See dolphins & whales in the wild
...and a bunch of other stuff. But now Grade One needs to go to recess.
Life List...

ION, Toto has decided that it's playtime--with his noisiest toy, I might add. I'm sure Not!Emily an his girlfriend, who are sleeping, just LOVE that.
I have come to the part of the day where I must get in the shower and out the door. And, once again, I don't wanna! So predictable.
Did you sleep last night, vw?
I have no life list. Well, I'm sure I do, but I can't think of it, right now.
I DID! Two glorious nights in a row. I almost feel human today.
Must celebrate by getting my ass in the shower and out the door.
Yes! Woo hoo! And you know, getting out every day ought to help with the sleepage, a little.
Yeah...it will. I need to try to keep as normal of a routine as possible. Yesterday, I gave in and took some naps, but that's ok, as long as I don't do it every day.
And off I go!
I have lost my keys. I cannot find them ANYWHERE. I've been looking for over a half-hour. I am so frustrated.
visit newly-discovered Pyramid in (iirc) Croatia
Just so you know, archaeologists in general are very sceptical that this is, y'know... real.
Have you checked the fridge, vw? It's my stupid place of choice for leaving stuff. Mostly the remote control. But a pair of socks once.

I was right! Except it was Artemis, not Athena.

What?

Stargate???
(Speaking of which - I like to think that this is a very large buried stargate. Yes I do.)
