I am in Ohio, with meghanc! There is snow, on the ground! And it is not actually as cold as I expected!

Getting here was remarkably non-traumatic -- Delta was an excellent flying experience, would totally do that again. I got the pat-down through security in the LAX -- I feel like I got my money's worth for the full US experience, and she was pretty :P

meghanc's dogs are <i>adorable</i>, photo evidence to follow.

Unfortunately, my adapter doesn't have a hole for an earthing pin, so my plan of charging and *using* my laptop has been cut short until, uh, tomorrow, when the cord meghanc has ordered for me will hopefully arrive. My life, so hard. :P

How's everyone doing? :D

Dad and I went 'down south' this long weekend, which is short hand in our family for heading for Margaret River, to the house that my parents built on a bush block. It was a wonderfully peaceful weekend. Photos below the cut!

( Photos in approximate order of events... )

This is so cool, I'm placing it outside the cut so that people who aren't interested in my holiday can still see the omg! HART!

This is one of the signs along that stretch of road, warning drivers that people are likely to be crossing the road to admire the gorgeous trees. An example of the standard sign is here (insert gender role and representation snarl here. Plus, 'aged people'? says who?) Anyway, this is the magic someone/s performed on one of the signs:



I really, really want to meet these person/people and buy them a drink, and learn what else they've done.

( Sunday evening was the Aust short film fest )

In...half an hour, black_samvara, angel that she is, is taking me to the airport. I'll be in New Zealand for two weeks, returning late afternoon 3 March. I'm not taking my laptop, so email checking will be restricted to Internet cafes where I find them. I'm pretty much giving up on keeping up with LJ starting now :P. If something happens that I should know about, comment here, or email me at LJusername@yahoo.com. *random, packing-panicked love to you all*
