around here…
It’s been a big week around here. We’re headed to the states next week, and between weddings, belated Christmas celebrations with families, parties we’re hosting, art stuff we’re finishing, and travel arrangements we’re making, life feels like the inside of an engaged blender.
and on top of that…
The Dude turned in his notice yesterday! We are officially on our way out of the Gulf. Who’s the happy girl? (Both hands raised.) And since we’ll be moving soon, I have twice as much packing to do before crossing the pond in a few days. Pulse blender.
We went out with friends to celebrate last night, though, and were ushered away from our flat with a spectacular sunset. We rarely have clouds, and lovely sunsets are even more rare. So this was a treat.
around the web…
I must have been procrastinating more than usual this week, because I had much more internet goo by the end than usual. Here are a few of my favorites:

An 8-ish minute story/poetry performance slamming (literally and stylistically) Scientology
The great-grandson of L. Ron Hubbard tells the story of his family. I can’t speak for its veracity, but it’s pretty darn fascinating.
