So Claudia and I found a great deal on flights to Europe -- two for the price of one, even -- but she's being difficult and saying it wouldn't be financially responsible of her to go with me.

I -want- to go backpacking in Europe -- even if it's in March. Why the hell is it so hard to find someone else who wants to do that, too?

Hey, how's it going?

Yeah, yeah, I missed you, too.

Me, I've been busy rearranging my computer life. For my birthday/Christmas present from my mom, I got most of the money I needed for a new iMac, which I've been coveting since they were first announced. I only just now added my weblog entry page back to my bookmarks.

I've been playing with Sims and kittens, mostly, and watching DVDs. Most of them have been fairly unnotable, with the exception of "Before Sunrise," which is a Richard Linklater film. If you know anything about Richard Linklater films, you'll know that this is a movie driven completely by dialogue, with nothing even approaching conflict/resolution. The movie itself was good, but perhaps not great, but it put me back into my minor backpacking-in-Europe obsession.

How old is too old, exactly, to take a couple of months to wander around Europe and see what there is to see? I'm hoping the number is something higher than 28 or 29, because I'm not sure when I'll have time (or money) before then.

(I -do- have a voucher for a ticket on AirCanada. I suppose one could backpack Canada, although the summer might be better suited for that than the springtime would be.)

It all bears a bit of thought.
