off to stockholm for five days (hopefully more)

decided to drop a quite post before i leave for the karolinska study trip (im packing and dressing as i type this!)
at the moment i'm on the waiting list for later flights that will allow me to extend my trip thru the weekend (keep your fingers and toes crossed for me!)
at the moment, i juz cannot wait to get out of this 30+ celsius heat and seek cooler pastures (changi airport first and then stockholm in abt 16 hours!).
on a side note, my bosox are up two-zip while the !@#$%^& yanks are down two-zip. lady luck muz have been shining on bosox fans today as both games were decided in rather peculiar circumstances. firstly the indians were killing my heart this morning (i woke up at 530am to watch the game on espn!) by stranding lead-off man after lead-off man after lead-off man, that was until heaven, or rather nature in the form of Chironomus plumosus (Linnaeus) or Chironomus attenuatus Walker or simply midges, decided to swarm Joba Chamberlain, take him out of his stride and caused him to wild-pitch the tying run in for the indians in the bottom of the 8th.
next, this 17-year-old kid called Danny Vinik (literally) lent a hand to the bosox by swiping manny's foul ball out of the glove of Jeff Mathis, clearing the way for the tying run to be scored!
anyway, gotta go now!
