Counting down ... and: New blog address

I'm counting the weeks (and soon the days) until we begin rehearsals and then fly to China! This is my last week of work, then I have a week to pack up my room for my subletter, and pack my suitcases for the trip ... then we rehearse and depart! On Friday I'm going shopping with Jen, my tour roommate, for cheap toiletries and medicines to take with us. We were recommended to bring the entire 8 months' worth of stuff, because there's no guarantee that we'll find the same thing in China.

Meanwhile, I've heard a rumor going around that blogspot web addresses are blocked in China. Can it be? This is unconfirmed. If it's true, never fear: my blog will also be posted here:

It is the exact same blog, so you only need to check one website.
