I want to take a trip, by myself, to either Amsterdam, Iceland, or Oslo. It's going to cost around $1200, though, so I'm holding off for now. I was hoping to go for a weekend in the fall, but pricing Iceland Air tickets puts me at $608 round trip. That's not bad at all for direct flights, but that's also without any hotel. Hotel for 2 nights would be another $250-300, and then I'd need to eat. I am broke right now, so it's just fantasy, but still... I love pricing the flights and thinking about it.

In class right now. We're on a break. (I padded it. Don't worry. I PADDED IT.) I hate how all these rooms are so goddamned stuffy this semester. My smallest class has 35 in it, and none of the windows open in any of my classrooms. Nor are they air conditioned. It makes for a sticky aired environment.

I'm pushing hard with my book. My goal is to assemble as much of it as I can and then start sending it off to publishers, seeing if I get any bites. I'm not holding my breath over it, and I don't really expect anything to happen, but if I don't *try I'll never know. And I've gotten enough positive feedback off of SugarSkull to feel confident about the attempt.
