Off to see a wizard

Honest to goodness I must be reaaaaally sick because it's against my better judgment that I stopped off at Target today and bought some drugs. I got an email from Keira this morning saying, "Dayquil and Nyquil are the *BEST EVER*!!! Go to sleep and you'll wake up feeling like a million bucks." If she was a commercial this is the part where I'd imagine a sparkle emerging from between her 2 front teeth just before she carefully collapses on to her pillows in a restful slumber.

I want restful slumber.

So, um, yeah. I got some Dayquil and Nyquil, not to mention a pack of Sudafed, because tomorrow I'm flying to the west coast for a long weekend. And damned if I'm going to be sick for this trip. I also picked up a really cute light-blue sweater that's probably one or two sizes too small... cuz when you're all kinds of drugged up on meds and feeling pretty congested, caffeinated, and tired from not sleeping at all the night before a light-blue sweater one size too small is lookin' pretty good. Me? I want to look pretty good.

So I bought it.

I'm headed to Seattle for the remainder of the week so I can be part of their whole record-breaking rain thing. Have you guys heard about this? Apparently they're on-track to break some kind of 53-year record when it rained 33 days straight in 1953. Shamana-hamana holy guacamole batman! Actually, if you know me you know that I'm kinda ticked off about the whole thing because I just acquired all this crazy-cool camera equipment and now it looks like I won't really get to use it like I had planned. FOILED! This just means I'll return with lots of photographs of, "This is the hotel room!" And, "This is the hotel restaurant!" And, "This is me playing cards on the hotel bed while eating my hotel room service while wearing my hotel robe after taking a swim in the hotel pool." Actually I'm pretty sure the hotel doesn't have a pool but I'm guessing it's not gonna be difficult to find some water while I'm there. With all the rain I'm pretty sure I could swim my ass right back to Minneapolis by the end of the weekend.

Roger will be around to post some entries and keep an eye on you guys while I'm gone (don't deny it, my stats tell me who you love more!). Play nice and I'll see you when I get back.
