Farewell cool world! (But not for long!)
Just wanted to say that I will likely be out of commission for a week - I'm going to Northern Ireland on business, and as such will be gaining 5 hours onto my already advanced East Coast timetable, and will probably be very out of sync with everyone. I's gonna miss you guys.
Howdy, Stranger!

Cheers,

Have a safe trip, buddy! We'll keep a pie warm for you. Also, I could probably have some work done on that art project we were talking about.
Anyway, have fun in Ireland! We can't wait to see you back here.

Arsheesh: I wish I could get out to see the island - no time, unfortunately, and no car. But I do get to walk around Belfast City Centre, which is fun. I actually spotted a Games Workshop that I'm about to check out.
Dusk: That would be awesome! The pie and the project. Both. I'm rather jazzed to be here, but I'm tired as soap. Haven't slept in over 24.
Embir: Thanks! I'll try!
I almost didn't make it over, to be honest. On the Bus up to Boston, we hit a traffic clog wherein the bus did not move for 1 hour. And I was on a tight timetable. Turns out that a semi-truck had *exploded* on the highway... there were bits of truck everywhere, and some shredded cars. I got in *almost* in time for my flight, but too late. The nice lady at the counter rescheduled me onto a Plane that would land in Shannon instead of Dublin, so I got there, and then transferred to a flight to Dublin. Huzzah!!!
...so, I have a bit of a development. Last night, I used my adapter (Which had been juicing up my laptop), to plug my alarm clock into the wall.
It worked fine, for about 2 minutes. The moment I set it down, there was a giant fffffffffffffffffffffzzzzzzzzzzzzzzztttzap! And the room went dark.
Apparently the power converter I had with me was fine for laptops and things, but I guess a 120Volt supply for an alarm clock was not a great match for a 240 Volt mains line. So now, I have 49% battery power, a book and a quarter, and what's left of the battery of my Nintendo DS. And this is supposed to last me until Friday at 4PM Eastern.
Scratch that... 47%. And none of the stores here that are open when I get back from work sell power converters.
Bah.
EDIT: Luke's uncle's being a jerk, and he can't go, now. Says he has to get those droids on the south field or there'll be hell to pay.
On a serious note, I'm sorry, Rase. Maybe someone you work with has one you can borrow?
Ahh, how I miss Star Wars campaigns... I wish I were playing in one now, actually. But I always seem to navigate to the rogueish smuggler type with a heart of gold. I never feel very original about it...
Now I just need to figure out the power in my room... I KO'd all of the outlets, I guess...
...although, oddly enough, I land in Boston at 4 PM on Friday. I'm a time traveller!
Just arrived at work. This bodes to be an interesting day.
HALLO COOL WORLD!
