Travel...WanderLust

Just got notification that I've got 2 freebie round-trip (4 one-way) tix on SouthWest airlines to use by 2/14/2007. Two one-ways will cover the return from the NW trip in May, which leaves me w/a R/T to...where? I'm reading travel books and feeling an urge to GO. Ended up battling nasty-@ss traffic yet again today. (Got far better once I turned on loud music.) Been doing this too much recently. Yeah yeah, that which doesn't kill me makes me stronger...I should be feeling pretty damn strong right about now, but it doesn't particularly feel that way. I just feel annoyed at it nowadays more than usual. Last Friday's drive (in mid-day stupid traffic) to LB was ugly: the sky was completely devoid of colour, the cars were thick, the looming towers of the Mobil refinery in Torrance which usually please me as I imagine they're some sorta alien HQ instead horrified me. Ugliness abounds. My soul's parched, dehydrated, in need of...something.

Watched Blazing Saddles and Ghostbusters today. Good for laughs and chuckles and snorts. Baked butterscotch brownies. Had a pleasant afternoon/eve, but not a massively marvie one. Perhaps I'm spoiled for so often being so incredibly pleased w/my life and surroundings. At the same time, I do think they'll return. Prolly when I'm feeling better 'bout things & stuff. Which'll be soon(ish). A bit scattered. Pieces falling off. Must/will gather up the reins, pick up the pieces, see what I can build from the bits. (To the tune of the theme to The 6 Million Dollar Man.) No, not feeling bad or down, just sorta bleh, which'll pass. Travel-wise: still not sure where to go...or when. Right now: sleeeeeep beckons.
