In about six hours give or take, I'll be in a car bound for Colorado. Meep, yay, and oh my lord what've I gotten myself into? Ahem.

Anyway. We're going through southwestern Wisconsin, then across Iowa and Nebraska and into Colorado - gotta love that southwesterly drift! It's a good thing my folks, Bosco and I all travel reasonably well, as the trip's going to take the better part of two days. We should wind up staying the night somewhere near Kearney, Nebraska, though don't quote me on that. I'm hoping there will be geocaching and decent radio along the way; no getting IFC in while in transit across the Midwest, darn it. If there isn't radio to be found, and even if there is, I'll have the Thursday Next and Nursery Crime series, Howl's Moving Castle, and hopefully... ah crud, I just remembered my card reader is packed already. Crums. No downloading Chrome Circle and Wizards' Holiday from Bookshare tonight, then. Oh well. I'll have everything else I mentioned, though, and a lapful of others for company. And there's always scribbling; I really should do more of that now school's not such a pressing issue.

Hm. Both my engineer muses just gave me interested looks. I'll take that as agreement with the more-scribbling idea. :)

Anyway. Heads up to everyone that from this coming morning to roughly sunday morning, I'll be off the virtual/textual radar, headed in a generally westerly direction. Nehemiah, if you get a knock on your door in a couple days and hear somebody say 'Ahoy the starship!' from the hallway, it's probably me. then again, it could always just be... *snickers* nah. :)

Millifolks - Micara, Kate, Medusa-mun, Alex, Adriana, I'll pick up slowtimes on sunday. Mi culpa for the flakiness; this whole week's been mad. Happily mad, but mad all the same. SouConers - Brenka, L'ki, Cammy, Alisa, Vellai, the sisterhood, there will be sceneage in the near future, post-storm aftermath and otherwise. And I'll have to organize something cleanup/rebuilding-y for a Firedance event, I think. Ooooh. :D

Now I go to bed, or try to. I embarrassed myself mightily tonight thanks to the screwed-up sleep thing, and even though it was admittedly rather funny, it was still mortifying. Must sleep for real. If I can, I'll check in before I leave this morning, but no promises. If nothing else, Sunday!
