Heading into London in a couple hours. The next time I update the journal, I'll be back in the US.

We're in the final leg of the 2025 Wales trip, and it's honestly bizarre to watch it come to a close. It doesn't feel like I've been visiting—it just feels like I've been living here. I don't even really feel sad about it coming to a close, at least yet. Been really lovely, and it's got me super excited for the autumn to come. I have a lot to show off, a lot I want to make, and a lot I want to experience from the lots and lots of money I've spent on games and music this trip.

On that note, and pertaining to cammy.somnol, do expect a trip diary this year. 2024's didn't pan out because I got distracted/emotionally disinterested/oiled and chained to a wall in my own mind Red Dwarf-style (we find it endlessly amusing that the same world that birthed classic sci-fi is the same one that birthed a wonderful spread of gay erotica between Kirk and Spock or your favorite smegheads here)/etc., but I do still have my little note of ideas and what I intended to post in it, so I'm going to go back and work on it from memory. I will rely on Caby's infinitely better memory to make it happen. This one's will be even more concise and just as fun.
