I have not even started reading the articles I downloaded as research for the paper due tomorrow. I am not one of those people who generally leaves papers-- even short ones like this, did I mention it's a short paper?--to the last minute, but there you have it.

I have, however, eaten out of a pumpkin. And built a scarecrow. Pretty good one. His name's Bartholemew. And my uncle has this sexy new Miata. All I had to say was, "Did anyone see the episode of NewsRadio where Jimmy James gives Matthew a bunch of cassettes for Christmas, and gets everyone else Miatas?" Big laughs.

Can't wake up this mornin'.

I'm going to try another experiment to see how long I can go without eating anything except coffee, water and Diet Coke. (My prediction: until 11:00 am. Sigh.)

Jessica asks,

Where have YOU been?

That's a pretty good list. Me mum fancies the travel. I've been to various places in Florida a lot, but mostly Disney World. I've been to various places across the country, as we took a lot of cross-country Amtrak trips when I was a teenager. I've pretty much stayed in towns in every state in the Northeast, as well as towns in Tennessee and Virginia. I've spent a fair amount of time in D.C. I've been to New Orleans, San Antonio, the Grand Canyon, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle. I've been to Hawaii. Niiiiice there. I've been to Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto. I've spent a good amount of time in Ann Arbor. Spent about 10 minutes in Mexico once. Very depressing. I've been to London four or five times, and I like it a lot. Done Paris, Rome, daytrips to Florence. Did Brussels last year. Did a month in Australia visiting various towns. (Did some mighty fine pukin' in Adelaide.) I've been on three cruises to various Carribbean isles (I think), but I tended to stay in the cabin sleeping instead of exploring the islands during the day, for I am a lazy lima bean. That's all I can think of, but it's a pretty good list. I've done my share of bitching and moaning about being "dragged" to these places, but really, I'm a spoiled brat about it and I actually consider myself very lucky to be so well-travelled.
