first my right foot then my left behind the other

tomorrow, blessedly, i am getting a haircut. and speaking of "haircut," talk about words for things that nobody really thought twice about, huh? like toothbrush. or blender. not like, say, couch.

what am i saying? i'm saying, i'm going on vacation soon! two of them, as a matter of fact. and as a result, this here site will be neglected. but only for a short while! and only because we all have diaries, or i would have some of you pinch-hit. really.

but anyway, i will see the ocean next week. and be spending too much time in the sun. and burning on the third day. and seeing some old friends (who are really actually old, i mean). and a whole host of other things, which includes the marked absence of work. when i come home, i have another silly class all day saturday and sunday! and then, friends, akimbo will come and pick me up to take me to the airport so i can involve myself in some immersion therapy and get on not one, but two scary airplanes. yee.

at the end of total immersion therapy, however, are some favorite favorites. so on the plane we go. i have my boarding pass. just one step at a time.
