*waves*

We got home yesterday and I'm still in post-trip letdown lethargy mode. I've missed a zillion flist posts, woe, but I'm too blah to play catch-up right now. I'll try to go through them tomorrow. I do care, really!.

I'll do a recap and also post pictures eventually (I really did manage to take slightly different ones from last year), but um. See first sentence.

I do have to post this one, though. Found in the hostel washroom, in a frame with no glass:

( How weird is this? )

I spent actual time staring at it until I figured out that yes, it really was who I thought it was. And it was in a FRAME. Apparently the universe is telling me to start writing, like now, kid. Okay, okay, when I'm over the blahs. And then there's the whole 'leaving again in less than two weeks' thing.

Current Mood: melancholy
Current Location: tewksbury
Current Music: fan right next to my face because it's hot in here

Things that win about ACBB Guesthouse:

1. Shelley (one of the owners) waited up for us and was just as friendly and helpful as she was last year when I came in at a more reasonable hour.

2. Watching Flashpoint (the 1 a.m. repeat) on a large-screen TV.

3. Comfy bed, complete with kitchy maple-leaf clothes hooks.

4. Free breakfast (which I haven't had yet but I remember the yumminess from last year).

5. Funky old-house atmosphere, with creaky floors and murals on the walls.
Apparently Canadian border crossing freaks me out. Every time I do it I'm convinced that I'll be told for some random reason to turn around, go home and never be seen darkening Canada's doorstep again. When I finally DO cross--well, you know that old line about someone exhaling a breath they didn't know they were holding? That would be me, complete with accompanying Triumphant Exclamation (2008 version: OMGYAY WE'RE IN FUCKING ONTARIO). mr_t00by thinks I'm weird.

It's not like that going home. Aside from Not Wanting to Leave, I don't angst about crossing back into the US (I figure I'm theirs, they have to take me). I've never had issues with any other Customs/border crossing situation, just Canada. Maybe if I have time later I'll psychoanalyse myself. Or, y'know, not. *shrug*
Best thing so far? OMG, GPS. An utter dream come true for people (like me) with No Sense of Direction Whatsoever. You just do what it tells you to, and if you make a mistake? It compensates.

I don't know exactly what we're doing today (except maybe taking mr_t00by to a doc-in-a-box for what sounds a lot like a case of Lyme Disease. We'll most likely see the XF movie tonight, and I'm hitting Chapters as soon as I can. I also need to hunt down and capture a pair of shorts (or two).

Current Mood: whee!
Current Location: London, Ontario
Current Music: cars going by outside

...ergo:

Geoffrey = Kermit
Ellen = Miss Piggy
Oliver = Fozzie Bear
Darren = The Great Gonzo
Richard = Scooter
Nahum = Rowlf

Am I right or am I right?

But who is Anna? And Maria? Hmm. I'll have to think about that one.

Okay, finishing packing now because I'm leaving in something like TWO HOURS OMGOMG.

Current Mood: rushed
Current Location: cannot cope, off to canadia

Wait. Most people see the dancer in this image going anti-clockwise? And they can make her change direction?

Obviously, I'm way right-brained. But then I knew that. But seriously, woah. It's no wonder I have no sense of direction whatsoever.

Also,

meresy and

nos4a2no9, we must talk dinner and things!

mr_t00by and I will be in Toronto on 7/27 or thereabouts.

mr_t00by is in Greenland. Or Iceland. One of those. Anyway, he's going to be in each of those places at various times. He's using his LJ for a sort of travel blog. It's gotta be cool reading because, OMG Greenland and Iceland. First post (travelwise) is here.

After he gets back, he gets to go with me on a whirlwind trip to London!

Um, no. Not that London. I meant the other one.

And anyway, we get to spend a couple of days in the Centre of the Universe, and even Greenland doesn't have one of those. \o/

Greenland also doesn't have a

meresy or a

nos4a2no9, who we'll hopefully get to see.

Okay, now for sleep. G'night. Morning. Whatever.

Current Location: Not Iceland. Or Greenland, either.
