J'ai fini mon séjour à Besançon. J'arrive aux Etats-Unis demain...

So Monique and I totalled up how much time I'm going to spend traveling in order to get back to Galesburg. 33 hours. That's right. That includes 11 hours in Frankfurt, overnight. Yoga and transcriptions will keep me awake, I hope, because everything in the airport will probably be closed.

Alors, à demain, tout le monde! I'm coming back with pictures and presents!

Ah, RI. It's a nice place.

Raided Bella Yarns on Saturday for hat materials and a giant thing of chunky alpaca. I'ma make me some leg warmers!

Did an interview today with my old principal for the Church and State study. Got a lot of interesting info and new views.

Bess doesn't like pronouns today.

OK, trying to keep this blog thing up. Going home tomorrow. Good. Going to France afterwards. Also good. Comic has posts up through Dec. 3, and I plan on drawing more tomorrow. (Long time in airport and on plane... need things to do...)

I'm linking to Father Thomas's blog in the sidebar now, so you can all go check out his really awesome sermons. If you look for All Souls' Day and click on the title, you can hear me singing. I'm a cantor! Whee!

Hope everyone's doing well. Wish me luck and healthy hands as I leap into these next few weeks of work. Lots of yarnwork and typing are coming up.

So, it's been a long time. I finally got around to updating the comic, and drew two more last night to be inked and scanned. Sorry for the lack of posting... So much to do lately...

First term went pretty well. I knitted and crocheted like crazy, and had two writing classes, so there was little drawing done. Tons of pretty scarves and hats, though. A few are up on the devArt site, as are the three final stories I handed in for fiction. Guess I should put the plays and exercises up, too. Those turned out OK.

Giant projects for vacation: blanket and gloves. And tons of scarves. I got into ravelry, so patterns galore... Very excited.

Going to RI for a week, then off to France for two weeks! Woot, France! So excited am I.

So most of break so far has been taken up with driving or knitting and watching TV on my compy. Her name is Ella. She's kind of mischievous and pretty small and quite sleek. I need to do stuff with Ella the character... fanfic-ing myself will be fun.

And now, I shall snuggle a kitty or two. Toodles!

And on the subject of pets, Erin Hart sent me this link. As she says, "It's essential for life." I totally agree.

So I had this crazy dream that Anglo Camp (St. Michael's Conference) hired Ken and Adrien as counselors. (Adrien is the mediatheque guy who made fun of me for being a creationist.) Apparently this year, colleges and universities had decided to give away camp counselor jobs in lieu of degrees, because they were more useful in the job market. And Anglo Camp didn't care that they didn't follow an even mildly related religion...

So that was crazy.

France is awesome. Everyone should come visit me and Katie now. Like, now.

Watch this now, especially my sisters. It's a rant about Pachelbel's Canon in D. Thanks to my darling actual sister (who's pledging!!!) for the link.

Just a quick note.

I'm twenty-one! Yay! Fully legal now... not like it really matters that much in my case... but I'm gonna have cake and piracy, and really, isn't that the best present of all?

Stuff's been weird for the last week, but I'm getting through it all OK. Please keep emailing, chatting, praying for me.

And now, PARIS!
