Ok, so let me start this post by saying I’m heartbroken. Johnny Damon is a traitor. I heard about the trade on Wednesday on the plane, and I almost screamed. Forgot to mention it though, with all the coming home excitement. TRAITOR!!

Next, I found out I might have early-onset arthritis in my wrists. Yes, both. A combination of damage from years of tennis and computers. Yes, I played tennis all through high school. Didn’t expect me to be a jock, didja? So I need to go see a doctor when I get back to SF and make sure I take better care of my joints, or bye bye career. This will probably take some of the steam out of my WoWing (and the audience cheers…).

There might be some very big news for me in the podcasting realm. I’m not going to tell you what yet, but SOOOOON! All I can say is that I’m very excited.

I got a Nintendo DS finally! I’ve started playing Nintendogs, and I’ve so far taught Daisy to “sit down.” But then my family got annoyed as I tried to teach her more in the car. That whole voice command thing can be a little annoying to other people, I imagine. Oh well!

Eventually I’ll get away from all this personal crap again and get back to tech stuff, but I’ve been too busy to even look at Digg and Bloglines lately. I’m going to have a lot to catch up on when I get back!

So, I made it alive. I didn’t sit next to a stinky person on the plane, but I did sit next to a very excitable 8-year old. Oh, how we talked and talked and talked. And how adorable was it when he continued to talk, looooong after I put my headphones back on and tried to watch Project Runway. Precious. Anywho, the flight and the trip in general went off without a hitch! And now I’m home…

Today we’re going to the spa at Foxwoods. You know, the giant casino? I’ve never been to a spa before (rough life) so I’m pretty excited about the whole thing. OH WAIT, I forgot about one thing. DRY AIR. The air is so freaking dry here that my hair has been standing straight up for two days. And when it’s not sticking straight up, it’s plastered to my face. Not good.

Ok, off to get pampered! Adios.

I’m curious what RSS feeds you guys subscribe to. Make a comment in this post and send me some good reading! Or, just send me pages you like. Some of my feeds are feeling a little tired, and I’d love something new. It can be tech, gossip, fashion, funny, whatever. I don’t care. FEED ME!

I hate traveling. I don’t hate GOING places, I just hate the “getting there” part. This is for various reasons, mostly related to the fact that I’m psycho about being on time and on schedule on a normal day. So, add the fact that if I’m late, I MISS MY FLIGHT, you’ve got a recipe for some major freak-outs:

What if the baggage check takes too long?
What if my shuttle is late?
What if I forgot my confirmation email?
What if I get an upset stomach?
What if my iPod dies?
What if I sit next to a stinky, talkative a-hole?
WHAT IF?!

Oh, and then there’s always the “what if my frickin’ plane crashes.” Super.
Anyway. So this is what I have to deal with. Hopefully I’ll just sleep through the whole thing. But then there’s even more to think about once I get to CT! I have to get to NYC on the bus to visit friends, and then I have to make the trip back, and then like two days after that I’m off to Vegas for CES! The day AFTER I get back from CES, it’s off to MacWorld (luckily that’s a few blocks away from work, so I don’t have to think about it too much.)

So many exciting, stressful events to look forward to. I need a vacation from my vacation.
