I’m kicking it, Heathrow style, in the lounge waiting for my flight to start boarding in an hour or so. I am CRAZY tired today, due in part to the fact that the guy down the hall from my room was apparently hosting some kind of house party in our miniscule rooms until nearly midnight last night.

I get to do this kind of stuff. SERIOUSLY. I slept WAY later than I wanted to this morning, and was rewarded for my laziness twice over – faster Internet connection speeds to upload…
