needs moar Cicero, pls

It's late and I'm wiped and need to head to bed soonish, but the Getty Villa today, and getting to meet [livejournal.com profile] vandonovan = awesome, even if they only had ONE Cicero book in the gift shop, which was not a Loeb. Will post pictures soonish, for me, anyway - including a lovely new bronze Athene I picked up today. Now, if I start writing ridiculously long letters to friends begging them for statuary...

There may be some more exciting news on the horizon - watch this space!

Ooh! Exciting news! I like exciting news.

I don't now when, exactly, the exciting news will be coming - it's really just an intermediate step to more awesome things - but it shall be cool, I promise - if not ridiculously nerve-wracking!

Hee, I'm being all coy. Speaking of exciting - how goes the plans for your Athens trip?

I like it when you're coy. It's fun.

Athens is going...well? I have a plane ticket and a hotel booked for the last half of my week, but my sister's still waiting for her plane ticket and our booking for the first half of the week to happen through her school. So that's a little nerve-wracking, two and a half weeks out. I'm finally reading up on Athens to figure out how the city works and what I want to do. And I'm finally getting excited! It didn't seem real until last weekend.
