Here, then gone again

A short note, to say just two things, really.

#1 We bought the house. Zomg WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE. Well, technically speaking it's not a house yet, it's plans for a house that still needs to be built in a street that isn't there yet, but if all goes well, the actual house should be there by the end of 2011. Which is - still slightly stunning to contemplate. We're getting a house. Wow.

#2 After a lot of stressing out over Europe's airspace closure due to the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland erupting and spewing ash all over, it finally seems like we'll be able to leave on our long-anticipated holiday tomorrow! *wipes sweat off face* Destination: South Africa! I'm not taking a computer, so it will be an internet-less holiday. I'm hoping to come back relaxed and with lots of fresh inspiration!

How are you all doing? I'm still pretty much swamped by RL stuff, so have been sucking not only at posting but at reading too. Is there anything big that I missed?

Congrats on the house-buying and your fantastic trip, whoo! I hope you have a great time and get lots of hard-core relaxing in! :)

I've finished up the second Peter David novel and am sad about it! I don't think I like the way he writes Vir, alas. His Londo and G'Kar are just right, but he seems to feel Vir needs "toughening up," whereas I've always liked to believe his tenderness is part of why he survives all the insanity. But I'm glad I'm reading them as they're giving me Interesting Ideas. :)
