in case you're wondering, my spook the air marshal project this trip is working my way through تان تان والنجم الغامض

anyway, i'm bringing my laptop with me, so you guys may not even notice any sign that i'm gone. on the other hand, i do have things to do and people to see down there so it's also possible that posting might drop off a bit. or, on the other other hand, maybe i'll be stuck in an airport and do nothing but goof around on the internets the entire weekend. and finally, on the fourth hand, i really have no clue what will happen. you're just gonna have to drop in and find out.
