Driving a moving van for 8 hours isn't any fun. Driving a car on a road-trip is fun, what with speeding around the country with the windows down singing loudly to old punk rock songs. Moving vans sway in the wind, require more concentration to keep in the lane, and you can't see around them to whip through traffic. I don't know how truck drivers...

I calculated this afternoon from receipts...and I averaged drinking 2 gallons of beer per day in Portland. Not good for me, I'd imagine.

I hate North Carolina.

This state is shit. The times I've come here just from Maryland are bad enough, but with Portland fresh in my mind...ugh. Hot 'n humid 'n bland.

I also hate Dulles airport. I never look forward to flying...

For the record:

I love beer. And I love strippers.

No suicide girl has a username that starts with U, which is unfortunate, because I wanted to pick my favorite sucidegirls such that their first names spelled "truth." However, a bonus in resigning myself to spell "trail" is that with the second letter of the names I could also spell "hilly." Next time I change, I'll have to see if I can spell words with...

I'd like to see someone with a bible belt.

Little Gideon's bibles strung on a belt.

I love the blue beast - nothing beats it. Except maybe bling-bling mad dog 20/20, sometimes.

Gin and juice, berry flavored. But wait, that's not all. It has ginseng!

It's booze...it's a herbal tonic...it's an alcoholic health drink!

I love you Seagrams!

The movie seemed to be used somewhat as a platform for sentiments about Jerusalem being a city that should be shared, not something that should be fought over. I certainly agree with those sentiments, however,...

I flew to North Carolina last night, then drove my sister back home today. The trip would have really sucked were it not for being able to read Tolstoy's Confessions. The middle portion, where he writes about coming to the conclusion that life is meaningless really took me back to the years when I was between 18 and 22 or so. I too had come...

Writing literature reviews is definately not my strong point.

Invariably, I get a late start on trying to find sources and find that I can't obtain many of them directly through the University of Maryland system. Interlibrary loan can get most of them for me, however, it can take a week or two for some of them.

For the sources in the system, usually I'll...

I hate the Violent Femmes. Never heard them before yesterday. They were so fuckin' boring and "indie."

Nothing nothing empty.

I'm planning to play rugby next season. And just made at least 7 posts on one day.
