Random Thoughts

1) This morning, I packed up my book shelf, and dismantled the kitchen table. I have to be out of the apartment in 2 weeks. Reality bit me in the ass. 3 boxes of books. Sadly, there are about 5 books to be read still, and I kept those ones out. I'm not sure these boxes will be unpacked. When I moved to Ireland (almost 8 years ago), I packed up 4 or 5 (maybe more) boxes of books, thinking someday I would be back and unpack those books and display them in my home. I'm not sure when I'll ever really settle down long enough to unpack all these books. And maybe I should just learn how to part with books...Or *gasp* use the library.. Maybe I should just ship these boxes to Colorado to join the other boxes of books.

2) VISA. Applying for my South African Visa tomorrow. To me, this is the real final step. There are some small things like getting an international drivers license, applying for medical indemnity coverage etc, but this makes it real.

3) I would drink Animal Dung Coffee.

4) My hair. I am growing it out. And right now it is in that frizzy annoying short-long phase. If I hear one more person tell me that the grey makes me look "distinguished," I am going to develop even more of a complex and may consider getting my hair darkened, which is a total waste of money, but I don't want to look distinguished. Actually, if I want to look distinguished, I'll wear my glasses. Shit, maybe I am more vain than I realize.

I am going to bed now.
