it is the wee hours of sunday, the day that has been marked as the day that i embark on a trip to see my newly lost sister of sorts, vivien.   just getting last minute things packed and waiting for my ipod to finish syncing.  it seems to drag on. nothing new to report yet since i haven't even left yet so.....  i'll check back in later when i have something good to report to everyone and anyone who cares to know.
