Hmmm. Its been a while hasn't it.

Ahhh, the holidays. What a great time of year. Despite ebing called "holidays" it seems to me that most holidays are actually a big 'ol pain in the ass. Dress up, travel across the country, spend money on gifts etc etc etc. You actually end up less relaxed because of some of these holidays.

Even some holidays that...

Have you ever considered that the protagonist of Fight Club is none other than a grown-up version of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes?

Me neither. Though I don't personally think the parallels are intentional, an interesting case for this can be found here.

Fascinating stuff really, particularly for those who are fans of both Calvin and Fight Club. Now if I could just find a...

He was a cowboy, mister, and he loved the land. He loved it so much he
made a woman out of dirt and married her. But when he kissed her, she
disintegrated. Later, at the funeral, when the preacher said, "Dust to
dust," some people laughed, and the cowboy shot them. At his hanging, he told
the others, "I'll be waiting for you in heaven-with...

I really having nothing at all to say... I was going to bitch about things on TV that suck like over-sensationalized news, and pandering reality crap. But yeah TV sucks and who cares. I'm just noticing it more because I'm not doing anything at all this week.

I've been having some luck with quitting smoking. I've been chewing nicorette gum. It tingles when you chew...

Home sweet home, again. I have been all over getting shit done since my return, which is highly unusual for me, being that I am lazy and all. I wonder if this can last or if I'll inevitably fall back into my unproductive ways. I suppose I'll have to wait and see.

PS: I've added a horrible picture of me in London as my new...

A brief list of what I'll especially enjoy on my return home:

A shower w/o shower shoes

Not having to carry so many damn coins

Some tacos

And of course, various friends and compatriots.

One week from now I will be soaring across the Atlantic, headed back home to DC. In the mean time, its rather sad here... we finished our exams yesterday, and now most everyone has left or will leave by tomorrow, off to various continents.

So I have a week to fill, here more or less by myself. On the upside one of my friends here...

Fuckin' A..... Australians are possibly the most fun people on Earth. Doing well here in London. It's quite an interesting city, though I hope I'll get out to other parts of the UK soon; th eonly worry is having enough money for it (that and making classes )

And now here I am in London, which is insanely expensive.....

The internet access is a bit spotty for me at present so I may be here only at odd intervals for a while, but never fear I shall return in August. ( And likely a couple times before then as well)

Going to the show tonight.... more on that later.

The Rev was good, much as expected. The whole evening is a bit of a blur and put me out of commission for the entire day after.

One more week and a few odd days here in DC, and then I'm off to London with a brief trip through the lone star state in between.

I'll be in Britian the last week of the month...
