My vacay is drawing to a close and at this time tomorrow night I will be landing on the West coast. It will technically be 3 hours from now, though the clock on the wall will say now. Time zones blow my mind. If I think about it too much I get a little freaked out. How can it seriously be a different time somewhere else? What about people who live on one side of the line and work on the other? Why does Arizona get to opt out of daylight saving time? Why do I have to do all this MATH?!
I am suffering from a severe Dramamine hangover; we went on an extended boat tour of the Intracoastal Waterway and looked at all the million dollar mansions and palm trees with candy cane Christmas lights. Oh and I went to CVS (!!!) and Dunkin' Donuts today. It made me miss Ruby more than usual.
Updates from the homefront inform me that I've missed yet another white Christmas. And I didn't even get a tan.
I've come up with the first of twelve monthly themes for Wishville (see previous entry Themes for details). January will be "Do It Herself" month. I've got some Big Plans for taking charge in 2008 -- rewiring the electrical outlets in my apartment, installing my extensive Frankenstella chrome package (crash bars, cowl protectors, passenger foot pegs, etc.), and perhaps a field trip to Babeland -- very much in line with the theme of the month.
This trip inspired several epiphanies on which I will elaborate soon -- I am no longer a product of my childhood, I have a slew of incredible friends, and I am never leaving Seattle again.
Wish me uneventful travels. See you on Pacific Mountain Time.
