For Good Measure

Alright, look, I know I should be working...i'm taking an hour to download articles and it's taking forever, so i'm intermittently playing with my blog.....what? I am NOT being defensive. Get off my back, alright; i'm multitasking. And I only played 10 minutes of Katamari Damacy....talk about self control! Man, I need to initiate D.O.W. (Directly Observed Working) or I'm not going to get anything done.

My parents are travelling in Australia right now. Unfortunately, they both were sick on arrival (SARS anyone?). Apparently my mom was so sick that they almost booked a flight back. Yikes, scary. They're both doing much better now, thank goodness, and are having a pretty good time. It seems that it rained for several days when they were in Sydney, my dad blamed me since I tend to bring the rain wherever I go on vacation. Thanks Dad. My dad just called but apparently my mom was too kranky to talk to me....what the hell did I do now? Great. Thanks Mom.

I hope I don't bring the rain to Panama next month...crap, i have to make sure i'm not going to be subpoenaed for that week....someone remind me to call the DA this week. The group that may be going with Me and S were emailing back and forth yesterday. One of them was sending out suggestions including visiting Isla Coiba....and about 30 minutes later he sends another message as follows:
" Um...I just discovered that Isla Coiba is in fact a penal colony, andthat you need authorization from the Directorate of Penal Correction toget there. Uh... my bad. I think that officially ranks as the worst travel suggestion of all time."
Way to go, K.

Cool aquarium book I don't want to forget about.
