I haven't actually read my friends lists since before my trip. So it's been about two months since I've known what's up with most of you, yes.

Kris gave me the bestest gift ever. It's a vinyl copy of XTC's English Settlement, copyright 1982 Zagreb, Yugoslavia. He bought it for me many, many years ago and it's just been traveling with him from city to city and dorm to dorm and apartment to apartment ever since. Now it's quite beat up and that makes it even more special because it's a ( Read more... )

I keep having dreams about Freeway. Now that I'm home again with just two cats and not focused on getting ready for my trip, I think I'm grieving more than when he died. Last night when he jumped in my lap I realized I was dreaming and took advantage of the chance to spend time with him. Then I noticed he had white eyes (no pupils) and I though "Ok ( Read more... )

Home home home! Trip back was mostly ok, some bits sucked. I was awake for 30 hours, slept 5, and now I can't sleep anymore. Aaaaahhhh!!! I took two sleeping pills and I'm still AAAAHHHH!!!!

Ahmad got the postcard I sent him today. I grabbed it out of the mailbox. XD.

So, to celebrate my last full day yesterday I went back to the baths. Aaaahhhh I needed it. All the soreness and stress heated and pounded away by water warmed in the bowels of the Earth (ewww). Once even the 38C pool started feeling too cool to me, I left ( Read more... )

Holy crap! According to Kris the mystery pastry filling that I thought might be fig is ground poppy seeds! (I think maybe mixed with sugar and stuff)! It didn't taste like that at all! It's in everything here! I better not have to take a drug test anytime soon! But it sure tastes good!

I swear to freaking God I saw Ron Perlman walking down the ( Read more... )

So Kris will be here Tuesday at noon. Boo hiss, only 2 days to spend together. But it's better than nothing. He'd have been here today except that the train switched to the fall schedule JUST today and he didn't know. So I'll use today to get my laundry done, buy my last gift, and probably do some more random Metro hopping. I haven't explored the ( Read more... )

I had 4.5 hours of sleep, which is less than half of what I've been tending to get recently. I did indeed drink an entire bottle of wine last night. It was very mild stuff and good. The kind that Hungary is famous for, according to reception. I bought it in a souvenir shop because that's all that was open. Hah. And THEN I was all ready for bed, in ( Read more... )

Alright guys, no one is getting postcards or gifts from Croatia because I'm staying in Budapest. It'll save Kris and me both money and hassle. In a bit I'm going to go grab some money dinner and buy a bottle of wine and DRINK it because man my stomach is in knots over all this. But I'm glad I at least have some answers now.
