update

It is getting closer to time for the trip... so packing is keeping me busy, well... that and stuff around the house. The house, you see, is expanding, and as a result the kitchen wall disappeared almost like magic (actually in a completely non-magical fashion, in reality it was torn out by two guys, but "like magic" just has a nice ring to it)(p.s. not actually expanding either, technically... nevermind...). So anyway, with all the changes around here, I've kept fairly busy.

Also, I just went out and got tickets for Star Wars III, showing at 10:40pm Thursday. I am really excited about this one, especially since it is "darker" than the last two. I think another way to say that is "indeterminately more violent with way better action scenes and the 'cute kid' finally turns evil". Sounds like a good movie to me!

And in other news, unexpected phone calls can be really nice...
