The last week has been unspeakably crazy, in a really good way. I don’t have a prayer of saying everything I want to, so again I’m stuck with just doing a bullet point recap of some really amazing experiences. Hopefully I can elaborate more over the next week…
– Friday, Halloween, I went to a Jive Nation Halloween party. I know Sarah took some pictures, I’ll have to see if I can track them down.
– Saturday, Sarah, Steve and I went to Stuff Live, a gadget and tech exhibition where we had super convenient press passes. Glad we didn’t pay for tickets, though. Very cool stuff to look at but it was mostly a sales pitch.
– Sunday, caught up with the entire third season of Heroes. *whew* Is it just me or is that show gotten completely ridiculous? Still great, but super ridiculous.
– Monday, had press tickets to see La Cage Aux Folles which was absolutely hilarious and such a feel good musical. You can read my review of the performance (which just opened at a new theatre in the west end) of La Cage Aux Folles on Spoonfed.
– Tuesday, went with Alex to Planet Hollywood after work to watch the election results, ended up staying until half past one in the morning amidst the cheering Obama fans. I felt so proud of America and really thrilled to be from the USA last night and although I’m jumping on the Obama bandwagon a little late, the international response to his victory has really impressed me.
– Today, made a hectic post-work run to the pharmacy, and the bureau de change to get Euros, then ran home to start/finish packing as I leave SUPER early tomorrow for Munich.
Wow, I’m exhausted just thinking back on it. Sleep was pretty much the one thing I haven’t managed in the last few days so I’m going to try to have an early night before my 5am wakeup call. I’ll be updating although the way so you’ll probably hear more from me while I’m in Germany and later Austria this weekend than you have these last few days. Cheers!

I’m thrilled about Obama and all, but the fact that gay marriage was banned in three states–most notably with Prop 8 in California–and gay adoption was banned in Arkansas makes this election year bittersweet above anything else.
Prop 2 in California passed easily. Prop 2 gives more rights to farm animals. MORE PEOPLE CARED ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF LIVESTOCK THAN ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF OTHER PEOPLE.
