Will they feel the chainsaws power?

Not really sure if it is appropriate here, but reading this report made me rather sad.

All the small things...

So I'm leaving again tommorrow and as per usual everything is in a mess and I'm not all that fussed about it.

Yet to pack, but have at least bought all the medication I will need. Off to a noodle place for dinner tonight, with Nevryn being invited, which is a big thing in my family (you aren't deemed to be an "adult" unless you are in a long term relationship, even if you are my fantastic 36 year old jet setting, but single, uncle). Went to another uncle's wedding the other week which was okay. Will be nice to see the crazy extended family I guess and then I can come back and hide, I mean recover. I don't have to go to work for two weeks either and I'm waiting to hear back about some applications. My car has decided to break itself this morning which is a little irritating. Also trying to find a camera I would like to spend money on has proven to be difficult too, so much bloody choice! My puppy passed on as well, which I'm not going to go into here so if you care you know where to find me. The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy film was great and I got to see it with 200 of my closest friends- don't you just love fundraiser screenings? It also gave me an excuse to see people I have been meaning to catch up with, though still many that I haven't seen yet. And all the people I've been meaning to email and have been slack about- bad neglectful I.

All small things really. Nothing exciting to report. Back in two weeks.

Best of all I have a new Nick Hornby book to read on the plane.
