The weekend started with a most excellent party on Friday and Saturday, courtesy of the lovely R and the awesome ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wolfpeach. Many fantastic new people to meet, cuddle, et cetera! Plus cake and sauna and cabaret and ritual! Huzzah! As best I can tell, a fantabulous time was had by all!
After everything wrapped up, the rest of yesterday was spent at home, sharing some quality alone time with my belovedcheshcat. We stayed up until nearly three o'clock in the morning, playing games, sharing pictures from my recent trip to Berlin, and other stuff.
This morning, I got up early again. These days, it seems that the nights where I get more than four or five hours of sleep are few and far between. I think it has happened once in the past week, on Thursday. As the observantwolfpeach noted, it seems like I'm not only burning the candle at both ends... but taking a flamethrower to the middle, as well. One of the reasons that I love the man -- he says the sweetest things![*]
Today, the early rise was motivated by the need to pack. As I mentioned last month, the bulk of April will be spent in Japan, splitting my time between Mozumi (for shift at Super-Kamiokande) and Tokai (for the T2K collaboration meeting). After it all wraps up, in about three weeks, I will be popping over to Taiwan for a four day holiday. Exploring a new country is always fun -- I am particularly looking forward to ascending Taipei 101, the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010.[**] As an extra special bonus in my travels, I will get to enjoy the splendid company of the lovelybonzifan, who will be showing me around during my stay in Taiwan.
As I write this, the adventure has already begun.[***] Right now, I am sitting on the Oxford Airline bus, making my way towards Heathrow. I expect that we will arrive in just a few minutes. Nearly time to check in and buckle down for the long[****] flight. Next stop: Tokyo Narita!
Happy Easter, everyone! See you from the other side!
[*] Odd as it sounds, I'm not actually being sardonic here. For one trying to live life to the absolutely maximum, complements on productivity are a sure-fire way to bring a smile to my face and warm the cockles of my heart! (One of these days, somebody is going to call me an "overachiever"; when that happens, I may just melt away!)
[**] Currently ranked #3, behind the newly completed Mecca Royal Hotel Clock Tower and the record-shattering Burj Khalifa -- the latter of which is the tallest structure of any sort every build by humans. Tis nearly as tall as one Sears Tower placed on top of another!
[***] Albeit the less adventurous part of the adventure.
[****] Twelve hours.
