On Southern California

February 14, 2010

We’ve been here just a few days and already, the cold rainy weather from the Bay is becoming a distant memory.  Too bad the warmth won’t last long because we’re heading to Vancouver this Thursday.  Ack!

Incognito

February 13, 2010

Apologies for the time between posts.  It's been a busy few days flying south and then spending a day at Disneyland (which is BEYOND exhausting but so much fun).  Tonight will have to be reserved for the Vancouver Olympic Opening Ceremonies!  =)  So, you'll hear from me after that!

To growing up

February 4, 2010

I’ve finally ventured out of the rabbit hole and made it out for lunch today. I met actual people! I changed out of my pajamas! I saw the light of day! It has been nice to come back to a place with familiar friends around. For so long I got used to the idea of […]

The nocturnal world

February 2, 2010

It's 3.35 AM local time.  And I'm awake.  Last night I slept 12 hours (9pm to 9am).  The night before that I was up until 7 AM because I couldn't fall asleep.  And the night before that I slept 10 hours. Jet lag is a bitch (excuse my French). Seriously.  This is insanity.  I haven't […]
