i'm just looking for one divine hammer

[ to the tune of the Breeders ]

shaking hands, jitters in my stomach, can't concentrate... is it the pms, the espresso, or the insanely cheap flights my friend Sarah found me? I just booked tickets for Heathrow-Marseille, Marseille-Prague for under $400. For a near-superpower gift, the ability to find cheap airline tickets ain't a bad one to have.

I fell into a black hole last week. The providential intervention of last weekend at Jeff's cottage brought me out of it. (Janius,Joel & Anya were in attendance.) I fell asleep on the dock, in my hammock, and in a canoe during an early morning paddle. And I relearned a simple truth: sailing Lasers is good for the soul. How can you argue with going sailing 3 times, and dumping 4 times?

Of course, hypothetically speaking, if your First Mate loses his swim trunks on the second dump, it's difficult not to laugh really really hard.

Today is a glorious day. Empanadas for dinner, and the bike shop guy charged me the bare minimum for my bike seat post (no tax!). Sure the seat got stolen last week, but that was bound to happen.

I'm going to my parents' cottage this weekend. Very much looking forward to it, and I'm grateful the edge has been taken off my cottage appetite by this past weekend at Jeff's.

...daddy's got a shotgun... he said he'd never need one...

Erin, if you're reading this from Korea, I miss you already!
