Die is cast. Flat is reserved, tickets bought.

I will be spending two weeks this summer hip-deep in Research Trip in the vineyards [and workrooms] of Burgundy.

eeeeeeeee.......

(that, by the way, is an eeeeee of glee, of panic, and of "oh my god I need to brush up on my French because what got me by in Paris may not work in Dijon....")


[and, on schedule, I get an e-mail from Madame Editrix for "Anna" regarding revisions for DAUGHTER OF THE SEA, and an e-mail from a new client. *juggles schedule very very carefully*]

at the risk of giving you too much snerking satisfaction -- I'm a (former) professional. I know when to spit.

That's just way too easy. I feel kind of insulted.

I really should watch more brit-coms

Joy!

Joy joy joy (and may you be happy).

[lagilman]

I will be very busy, and very crazed, and very happy, yes, as I always am when I am very busy. Especially when I am busy doing something fun. :-)

I can hardly wait to see the pictures!

[windrose.livejournal.com]

Yay you!!!!!!

[lagilman]

eeeeeeeeeeee. *grin* If you happen to come upon that sudden cash windfall....

[bigferret.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a great time this summer!!!

Two weeks in Burgundy.

Suffering much?

[lagilman]

Suffering much?

With the dollar-to-euro exchange what it is? Oh yeah. But hopefully it will be worth it, on several levels.

[kateelliott.livejournal.com]

well, the exchange rate, yeah. In 2005 we were in England and Switzerland, and it was bad then; it's worse now.

But -- still -- two weeks in Burgundy? Should be fabulous.

Oh, how absolutely wonderful!

You're going to have a terrific time. AND get lots of work done. For the Win!

[house-draven.livejournal.com]

Burgundy is so lovely; you'll have a wonderful time. French that got you by in Paris should do equally well there; your problem is likely going to be the idioms, and they never expect tourists to get those right anyhow.

Whooo-yah! for you!

[lagilman]

My usual routine is to load up on vocabulary and wave my hands a lot until someone shames me by having near-perfect English. But I do seem to get style points for trying....

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Oh, spiffing news! Whoo hoo!

completely overstepping my bounds, but don't forget to...

[handlebar605.livejournal.com]

not to rain on any parades or anything, but if you are going to be bringing your computer, remember to get the proper power converters.

Is your passport up to date?

do you have enough of any needed prescriptions?

Re: completely overstepping my bounds, but don't forget to...

[lagilman]

yes, dad.....

*ahem*

You forgot to add: TAX DEDUCTIBLE BUSINESS TRIP.

Wine research. 'natch.

[fakefrenchie.livejournal.com]

I'm still pouting! Not really. *VBG*

[jperceval.livejournal.com]

Wahooo! Take lots of pictures!

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[ceosanna.livejournal.com]

That is full of win!!

I mean, poor you having to be subjected to that. I think you need a research assistant to take some of the weight off your shoulders. ::nods sagely::
