The hostel in which I'll be staying. 8:11:39 PM |

My travel plans are finalized now for Winter Break and I'm really excited. I've been wanting to escape Indiana again for months. Didn't do it over the summer, but I am now. Getting back to London after eight years should be a real joy. I arrive at Heathrow the morning of 12 December and return 20 December. I'll be staying in a hostel while there, and despite its quirks, I still quite enjoy hostelling, primarily for the people you meet. Cheap travel's good, too.
I hope to keep this log up to date while I'm preparing to go, and if I can, I'd like to update it daily while I'm there. Watch this space! 8:05:03 PM |

I'm back, sans girlfriend. Sigh
But enough moping. Here's something to restore your faith in the universe: a so-called Sombrero Galaxy, courtesy NASA.
Seriously, though, when I'm sad or depressed, comtemplating the beauty of the natural world helps me heal. I take a lot of hits for being an atheist, but when it really comes right down to it, I love this world and this universe at least as much as most believers do. The only difference is my thoughts about its origins. People think my outlook cheapens the natural world somehow, but that could not possibly be farther from the truth. 7:59:14 PM |
