focus! focus!

it's true, a crap sleep makes it hard for me to focus.

last night i made a wicked list of things to get done today, i've only done two. well, actually i guess i've done three. hey, things are starting to look up.

yesterday, toren brought me two more travel books: ireland and scotland. now i have books for everywhere i want to go in europe, spain and greece were already passed on earlier. during the non-sleeping hours last night, i totally read through the ireland one, and i'm determined to remember some irish words. slán leat is really the only thing i remember so far. oh, except that i recognise, "how are you?" because to me it looks fairly french. it's very exciting. and as i was telling G today, i'm more than happy to add another barely used language to my roster. dutch being the first.

i had a weird-o dream this morning. i dreamed my sister and i couldn't get on the same flight together to germany. so i made her pretend she needed to use a wheelchair (i think this might have got us to first class, like when i took my mom to cirque and we got front row for the price of the cheapest tickets). anyway, at some point she got up to walk, and then we were about to get busted by a stewardess, and we had to tell her my sister only needs the wheelchair for long-distances.

maybe i'm doing something bad and feel guilty about it. the thing is, i can usually recognise guilt from a mile away!!!

okay, now i'm going to be late if i don't go. and that's the ultimate motivation.
