Bad blogger
 So, it has been such a long time, and I occasionally look at my poor sad blog and sob quietly onto my keyboard. So much has happened, and not much of it good, in the last month, I'll spare the details, but here is a run down:- 1. Had a procedure on my wrist so that I wouldn't get crippling pain, thought that worked, but it is now back after about 6 weeks. 2. Got a new camera - I was desperate to post a picture of the camera, until the practicalities of doing that broke my brain. 3. Lost a roommate to his boyfriend (again) - those that know me will know that this is roommate search # 3 this year... (and I'm not kidding myself believing that people who don't know me actually read my blog). I've lost a hair stylist, and gained a shoe hook up - danger... 4. Vacation plans to go to South Africa and Egypt this year has been scraped. We are now going to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Safari baby! We'll see Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, Mt Kilimanjaro and...  FLAMINGO!  Oh yeah... BEACH TOO! As you can imagine, #4 is making all the other bad numbers much more tolerable. 5. Work is crazy (got to that 7 days a week stage...) 6. I'm freaking out about the talk I give at a conference in Boston at the beginning of August. 7. I received my green card labor certification (step 1 of 3 down). 8. I'm being interviewed by 2 documentary filmmakers on the pain of green card application and what a precarious process that is. 9. Mr S is in Amsterdam on vacation, and I so badly wanted to go with him, but couldn't due to work crapitude. I miss him :( I forgot to add a number 10.... Someone superglued my apartment door lock the other day. I'm assuming it was retaliation from the Daily Show interview piece that aired the night before and showed my apartment door. As for that... knitting and related fun. Here is a shot of my new experiment, Hair Pin Lace. I'm making a stitch diva hat (the one with the floppy brim). Yes, I know... its actually fancy crochet, but it seems to be going well so far.   Color choices were inspired by the pink baby cowboy photo up top... |

Damn, crazy few months you've been having! Pretty wild stuff. The trip sounds amazing - if not only for the fact you can now make everyone else around you feel like a peon just by saying "When I was in Zanzibar....".
When are you heading to Tanzania? I'm going in two weeks and I'm super excited! Sadly, no Zanzibar, but hopefully lots of wildlife!
Safari, Baby!
I'll be going hopefully in November!
I'd love to hear how you trip goes - have fun :)
