nyankoframeThings I found/got:
- photos of alpacas, koalas, kangaroos, and other animals
- photos of Brisbane/UQ and people there (especially T and K, whom I missed meeting last year, although R wasn't free this year unfortunately - something about his car)
- A PHOTO OF A FLUFFY LARGE (BUT NOT LONG) CAT (for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wao)
- many CDs (7 of them: Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, No. 1 Jazz Vocals, A Night in the Tropics, Big Band Collection, Allan Browne (an Australian jazz artist and his band), and some Glenn Miller)
- several books: one about WW2 and military theories, Vol. 2 of Sherlock Holmes, Catch-22 and "What Did The Cat Say?" (a guide to interpreting various cat expressions).
- Nudie smoothies (<3) and Subway sandwiches, various fruit juices, yoghurts, chocolate and other edible things
- A lot of exercise, especially since the Summit is, unsurprisingly, on a hill, and the place where I'm staying right now in Chapel Hill is also up a hill.
Things I didn't find/couldn't get
- Mittens: I tried checking at Target, Woolsworth and other places, but they only had gloves and beanies. So sorry,naamahduck. I'll try to find them when I get back :/
- The "Women in Blue" CD I bought earlier was copy-protected (which I knew) but the second CD of it refused to play at all in my laptop or in a friend's (which I didn't know - the first one had no problems at all), so I had to exchange it for the Jazz Vocals CD. Surprisingly though, it played fine in a DVD player. I'm not entirely sure whether That CD Shop will have it, but I hope it does because that CD has K.D. Lang on it as well as other women *swoon*
- Our team ended up on 2-5, not 3-4 or 4-3 as I had thought (and CL was the 7th best ESL speaker, and we broke 5th?). Oh well.
Flight's at 3 pm tomorrow, so I don't think I'll be posting anything before then or replying to comments.
