leaving for thailand

hooray, leaving for thailand today. not going to eat any chickens, kiss any chickens, or sacrifice any chickens. hopefully that should prevent any fatal bird flu incidents. nearly packed now. well, who am i kidding, i have a pile and a list, that’s close enough.

(oh, and as an update on the tick incident, apparently my skin became infected, which has led to two of the lymph glands behind my ear becoming swollen and pressing on things. i now have antibiotics. note to self: don’t get ticks)

menagerie

the 2 bedroom unit i live in has become a menagerie: 5 people, 1 cat, 6 kittens, 1 rabbit and 4 geckoes. it’s developing an interesting smell in here. escaping to mt. arapiles on the weekend.

also, geekdom is complete, i’ve now placed a geocache of my own.
