Random ship-nights
You’re looking at the approximate reason I haven’t been posting daily. There have been a few nights where “a drink” turns into looking around wondering why it’s three or eight in the morning. (The next day is mostly spent sitting still in a cafe and hoping I remember to get up early and hike NEXT […]
Good Life Choice
Yeah, when I’m mesmerized by scenery, I forget that there are consequences to walking uphill as fast as possible for an hour and change. The chili’n beer in question was from the Skagway Brewing Company, which I try to hit every time I’m in that port. It seems that just as I’m becoming a regular […]
Side-Job Doodles
I guess on subconscious level I’d been missing hourly wages, customer contact and repetitive tasks, cause I started doing some registration and data entry for the art auction onboard. First impressions: I’ve never seen anyone get so excited about raffle tickets and free pens.

Late-Night Sidetrack
I’ve been making a lot of progress on my as-yet-untitled New Orleans story, but the random ship-hilarity hasn’t stopped, so I can’t resist doing quick little journal comics, too. This is Marisca on the left, teaching us a little bit of Afrikaans. My friend Nicola teaches Afrikaans by accident, because it’s apparently a safe-ish way […]
Three Days: Woohoo!
This is from the last time Liz came on the ship, for spring break. We’d been out of touch for months at this point, and didn’t know what to expect. (Clearly, it turned out well.) This time the countdown is different because, thanks to ship-gossip, the ennntire ship knows she’s coming on, and that we […]
