Mountains, here I come! \o/
Jul. 7th, 2008 10:38 pmOn Thursday I'm leaving for my job in the mountains, which is so much greatness. Right now I'm thinking about what food to bring--I have to buy all my food for a month and get it carried up by helicopter, and that means careful planning. They do have a gas-driven refrigerator, though, and kind of a freezer dug into the left-over snow, so it's not like it all has to be dried food.
I am bringing lots of stuff to read--for example, I have some unread fandom classics saved up, like
aukestrel's "Near Wild Heaven", and I'll be rereading "Hawks and Hands" (I've only read it once). Also carefully selected music on my mp3-player, my butterfly net and botany books. A guy who was up there earlier in the spring actually had some kind of mental breakdown, but he was all alone for a month and I'll be there with at least two other people, whom I know to be nice.
It remains to be seen how much I can write on a computer (they have some solar panels for electricity), but I guess I can always write longhand. My Maggie/Frannie WIP seems to have come to life again after months of dormancy--I've written 1200 words on it today, which is yay. I'd really like to finish that one some day.
Does anyone want a postcard from the Swedish Arctic? You can email me your address if I haven't got it and you want one!
So, I'll be here for a few more days, after that I'll be back on the Internet on the 18th of August.
