+ my mind is aflurry with daydreams--nay, they are not quite daydreams anymore, they are moth daydreams incubating into the shape of chaotic, yet concrete plans!--with trips, journeys, voyages, waking up in new cities and countries, daytrips and weekend trips. I want to go back to London, where I haven't been in 10 years. Back to Paris where I haven't been in even longer. The first place I want to go that I have never been to before is Copenhagen. And it will be so much easier to go to Moscow! Maybe I could even go for my aunt's 70th birthday...

+ Apparently the town I will be living in has one of those tiny airports that are used by the discount inter-European airlines (although I think some of them also fly to North Africa). Flights to Spain? Under $30 EU (yes, I know there is a large tax that is more than twice the price--but still--totally doable!)

+ abandoned castles in the future! Also already have made contact with Nether-landish urbexers, am dreaming of Belgian abandonments, right across the border...

+ it's spring

- My mucous tissue is engaged in terrible warfare with pollen particles. Must find local honey.

+ words I suspect Fionn of possibly having said in the last few days: banana, Nica, good.

- he says them sneakily, and won't be cajoled into repeating them.

+ maybe-probably NYC next weekend...a day or two of golden sticky spring air in my favorite city in the world. will I catch a whiff of unselfish violets, out of nowhere?

- where did I put Fionn's passport photos? They were hanging out at the plant ICU on the kitchen table, and today, as we were preparing to embark on a trip to the post office, to lay claim to Fionn's bios, they were mysteriously nowhere to be found.

Why, you can even take the train.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

I LOVE trains, and would totally dig a (two)-night train to Moscow, but the whelp might have to be a bit older to handle that reasonably well.

Where are you going? To be LIVING? And when?

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

abandoned castles in the future!

I read this as a PKD short-story title.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

well, the ruined castle near my soon-to-be new home is the only "high" castle in the land. as in, elevated above sea level, I guess.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I'm decent to pump for information about Copenhagen. Including some of the neat and weird spots.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

yes, please, information! Naturally, I am interested in Christiania...although is there an "authentic" Christiania anymore, or is it all the ethnographic present of its anarchic-hippie glory days? Tell me about all the neat and weird spots, please...I am eager to continue my reign as a queen of neat and weird spots back in the Old World.

oh Spain. fun!

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

I've never been.

[cascadianista.livejournal.com]

They definitely like to have fun. But don't expect many vegetarian options.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

I am not vegetarian.

[cascadianista.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll rephrase. Don't expect many vegetables. :)

Enjoy the jamón for me, I gave up land- and air-dwelling meat for New Year's.
