Dogsledding and postcards
Mar. 14th, 2009 11:21 amSo, in about a week I'm leaving for this year's dogsledding trip. This year, we'll be sledding for over a week in Sarek, a mountainous wilderness area where there mostly are no cabins, so we'll be sleeping in a tent. I'm so excited about this trip, and I am so scared that I'll get a cold or something before I go.
So, who wants postcards? Send me your address if you do! I know I have addresses for
akamine_chan,
nos4a2no9,
hurry_sundown, and
zabira. I have an old one for
the_antichris, and I should have
j_s_cavalcante's, because it was on the glove package, but alas, I have lost it.
Also, one of my housemates, who's an officer in the military, told me this cool story yesterday: apparenly Denmark needs to have people travelling all over Greenland in order to claim the territory as theirs. So there are people whose only job is to dogsled across Greenland, like, all the time! The cool thing about this is that they still use dogsleds instead of snowmobiles or something.
In unrelated news, I have a laptop for the first time in my life--the department bought it for me. I quite like it, except for how it's running Vista and apparently can't manage to copy files from my FAT32 external harddrive. WTF, Vista? I will install Linux as well. *sigh*
Also unrelated: I am rewatching Firefly. God, I love that show.
