So I am here now, third day onward. The conference sucks big time. It is supposed to be "Satellite Altimetry" but I would call it "Redundancy from Space" (still an understatement). So many people doing the exact same thing, over and over again. It is like a joke I am not getting...
OK, so I am only here a few hours a day for the free wireless, really.

Anyhoo, I want to thank you guys for cheering me up the other day. I got me "The city of fallen angels" which is good to read on site (thanks ericb). While waiting at the airport on Saturday I downloaded whatever jonmc's mecha-music I could find. And, of course, some cute italian boy congratulated me on the music I listen to (Guns 'n Roses, to be exact) So kudos to you jon!

However, I need to get in touch with amberglow pronto! amber: unless your real life name is Amber Glow, Mary will not know who's sending her regards. So please email me your worldly specifics, at my mefi profile e-address (if you want).

Ciao for now (yikes, it rhymes!), my mecha-loves!

YAY! Sorry the conference is such a waste of time, but hey, only a few more days and you're homeward bound! Don't forget to smell the flowers. :D

hey chew! you are right, I had a bad feeling for this one from the start. But with all the mecha suggestions, I am having a vastly better time that I had originally thought. Yes, yes, the flowers. I made a note to self!
