I don't know what it is about the 1-week mark since seeing Melissa. Up to a week, I'm so cool you could keep a slab of beef in me. I'm so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis. I am the master of my domain. I can totally handle the long-distance thing.

But at about a week, my superego decides to go home and I'm left with weepy neuroses that *sniff* just want to hold her hand and gaze into her eyes duking it out with a resurgent lizard brain that looks around at everything with two legs and a smile going (cue growly Henry Rollins voice) "mmmm...awwwright."

Sigh.

As far as History goes, I used to read a lot of ancient Greek stuff. I used to read Greek to that end. But that was when I was oh so young. Now, I mainly read about American history. I am endlessly fascinated by the Civil War, the conditions leading up to it, the sort of shocking resolve and sheer will of Lincoln. And I am always interested in the behind the scenes stuff, like just how complicated the revolutionary war was.

But having barely made it through HS, I am strictly and auto-didact. So I read whatever catches my interest. Now, as bad a book as Cryptonomicon was, it has gotten me back into WWII, and I am about to start a book about the German Enigma code.

And as for Strangelove. I watch it once a week. Literally. Do you know the story behind him making that?

I noticed on the boards that you're going to the RNC. What group are you going with? AI? I'd love to be there myself. I have missed out on most of the major protests, including Miami.
