It's bad enough going to New York City...no wait, it's great to go there, but it's hard enough to feel like you belong there. After a SWEET flight on Virgin Atlantic watching too many Scrubs and Little Britain reruns (and Shaun of the Dead! WOO!), I ended up spending more than a hour in line at US Immigration.

At least I know not to recommend this placement to the head of my programme, eh?

Not that it matters so much, really, in the end, but I've decided that I really need to write. I need to express myself somehow and, well, I'm not a dancer, I don't have a strong enough liver to sing in public, and I can't draw beyond Exploding Dog-style cartoons (and I lack the imagination to do them ( Read more... )

Okay, I just don't update when I'm in Canada, apparently. Christmas was nearly very good, aside from some scary-ass right-wing comments from my formerly liberal aunt. Hmm ( Read more... )
