Yesterday they used me as an extra for the TB episode. Here I am with a professional makeup artist making me look all girly. I'm wearing boots and skirt, too! You can't see the shirt, though, since I'm still wearing my sweatshirt to keep it clean.

So this helicopter crash wasn't important enough for Bush to mention in his press conference this morning? If I were related to any of the marines who died, I'd be livid. As it is, I just feel slightly ill every time I hear W talk.

Studying German in the mornings... Using RosettaStone.com. It's very cool! Thanks, Paul for turning me on to it!

I'm currently sitting at the Apple Store in the Grove. Waiting for my turn at the "Genius Bar." I'm glad they have a wireless network so I can keep myself busy.

Life feels really nutty at the same time it's strangely empty. I'm working a lot at Arcwelder, working on a big HIV writing project, and generally not much else. I talk to Troy via yahoo chat or IM, or by phone if he can find a signal. Life feels oddly like I'm waiting. Some of it is me preparing (studying German, trying to get future writing projects, reading about Austria), and that's an odd place to be.

I'm a little worried about getting work in Austria. And not at all sure how this whole "documentary career" is going to happen.

At some point I have to get my feet back in contact with the earth. I must remember the fabulous time we had clambering around in Carlsbad Caverns on New Year's Day. Somehow crawling through the mud, squeezing through small passages in the rock, and working my way down a crevasse with arms and legs spanning the gap -- and doing it all with Troy -- was just the most excellent thing.

In entirely other news... I have another nephew on the way!

That's it! Troy got his work permit from the Austrian government today so he has perhaps 2 more weeks in the U.S. Whew! Then it's off to Vienna! For those of you who actually use the blog to keep up, I'll post more details about the crazy last couple of months here soon. I do have internet now at home (finally) so I can post.
