here come the badgers

I didn't blog about the badgers, since it's the kind of meme that spreads best person-to-person. But I can't resist pointing to this delightful merging of LoTR and the badgers, which I found via a comment on Weez's blog.

The rest of today is hereby devoted to packing, prepping, and panicking--not necessarily in that order. Blogging before departure is unlikely, but blogging from the other side of the world, starting this weekend, is extremely likely.
