America plans

[fahye]

Wow, you lot are good at sending helpful vibes. Genetics exam was fine - screwed up one question, but only minorly. Finished early. Two exams and one seminar presentation to go! As a thank you, have this song that I got from Wisteria yesterday and just uploaded for Meg: Cake - Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps

It probably sounds exactly like you think it sounds. IT'S FANTASTIC. And I love the Mari Wilson version of that song because it's the Coupling theme song. I need more Coupling icons. OH, CALEB :D?

A few people have been asking about my plans for America, so here's the itinerary:

- June 27th - fly Canberra -> Sydney, and then Sydney -> San Francisco
- Stay at la maison de schiarire!
- June 29th-July 2nd - go to LA with schiarire & dopplegl, do all the fun touristy things like Disneyland and Universal Studios
- Meet up with hobviously at some stage, generally bum around the Bay area
- July 9th - fly SF -> Washington DC, and stay with strange_selkie, darthrami & chaos_pockets (and a metric ton of extra Millifolken, hurrah!)
- Explore DC for a week, perhaps including a day trip to New York
- Hopefully meet up with crazylittleme at some stage!
- July 14th-16th - MILLICON. OMG. Meet lots of Milliways people, dress up as Lucifer and generally have a ball.
- July 16th - fly DC -> SF -> Sydney -> Canberra (oh, won't THAT be fun)

And here's the important part: WHAT SHOULD I SEE? What's worth doing in San Francisco or DC? What's cheap/free/expensive but absolutely essential? Where are the unique/bargain-huntery shopping areas?

_leareth is coming around tonight to help me put together a list of stuff to see. We're going to make stirfry and watch the BSG mini and huddle together with tea for warmth.

Silly Fahye! that is not the problem at all! rather, we were worried that YOU would have nothing to do. (You told Caleb that you don't like roller coasters?)

I don't like the more extreme ones that turn you upside down. They kill my neck. I thought surely there would be things in between, but perhaps not. *peruses U.S. website*

What else is there in LA that we could do?

Uh . . . off the top of my head:

Chinese Theater
Getty Museum

. . .

Window shopping?

Oh, I can window shop for very. very. long. periods of time :) But this can often cause acute boredom in others.

I would say "shopping," but no actual shopping is to be done on Rodeo or I will die!

Before we go to L.A., Sunset Boulevard must be viewed! everything becomes more fun. Mulholland you've all seen.
