I need some major traveling. My last big trip was about 10 years ago, to Germany and Austria and *sob* only a day and a half in Prague. I'd love to see more of Prague, which is where my great grandparents were from. I haven't seen Paris or Rome. I've been to the UK many times, but I'd love to be drinking a glass of bitter at the Museum Pub while taking a break from the British Museum. It has the bog man and the Rosetta Stone, plus a long carved inscription about how Lord Elgin stole the marbles in order to save them.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Msbelle, that ad's just on the cusp of being unbelievably upsetting... and yet quite effective in its message. On the whole, I'd say that even 8 years isn't long enough to make it not hurt.

I just do not get the point. yes, a natural disaster killed more people than the act of terrorism. AND? IS the WWF funding some sort of Tsunami stopping panda technology?!?! They are not a relief organization - it makes no sense and it just offensive. Did a whole slew of Americans get real vocal about the Tsunami not counting? It's just offensive to get attention.

...and I just spend a long lunch catching up with a friend, talking travel and my recent ones and...funny.
And now I miss Kathmandu. And Barcelona. Hmph.

In the good news department, I had an extremely complimentary state-of-the-union meeting yesterday with the company owner and one of my other superiors, and was told that next month the bulk of my pay cut will be repealed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay pay cut partial repealage! Or something!
