I felt a little guilty about not seeing my uncle (who lives in Knoxville) during my recent visit. However, today we received a postcard from him. He’s in London as part of a world tour he’s taking. *whew* Now I can say, “But Uncle Jim, I did try to visit you….you were gone!” hehehe
Christmas in July Alert: Big Brother and The Amazing Race begin tonight. WHOO!
Wednesday: Finally left home and 3.5 hours later arrived in TN. Watched repeat of Leno with Vin Diesel.
Thursday: Went to Dollywood, rode many smallish rides, had corndog (yummm), went to Harrah’s in Cherokee, NC. *note to all– the slots at Cherokee SUCK compared to Vegas–depressingly so.
Friday: Left for Knoxville, arrived around noon. Met up with Mike and went to the Knoxville Zoo–very cool. Piddled a bit then went to drive-in to catch 4 movies. Saw Ella Enchanted and Spiderman 2…couldn’t make it through White Chicks to get to the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Went home, talked way too much then slept.
Saturday: IHOP (chocolate chip pancakes..yum), watched Pitch Black, ran around a little, got fireworks, Thai dinner (yum), watched original Dawn of the Dead, which was just cool as hell. Slept.
Sunday: came home.
Was there more? Sure. This is, afterall, the abridged version 🙂
I’m leaving today. I now begin my daylong task of packing. It starts with laundry. Yes, that laundry that I was supposed to do yesterday. I also have to make the house look presentable since we’re asking Mom’s brother to look in on Hobbit, Cottin, and Jingles (although Jingles will keep the others in line, no doubt). I plan on leaving around 6pm or so and I’ll be back sometime Sundayish. I’ll miss you, Hewly. You’re the best computer a girl could ever hope for. I’ll miss Hobbit so much it hurts, but I hear that I’ll have roosters to wake me up as early as you do, so don’t worry about me sleeping in. I suppose I’ll have details up as soon as I get back. Laters!
New Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow trailer is out. If you don’t know what this is all about, I urge you find out. It’s perhaps the most stylish movie I’ve ever been interested in seeing. Nah, that would be Altman’s ode to the fashion world, but anyway…. Things are going well on my end of the world. Fam made it back from New Orleans alright, and even brought me a voodoo doll. Oh, yes, the world is SO mine now! Narayan checked in from Nicaragua after enjoying Guatemala for a week or so. I just hope he makes it to Chile in time. It’s too darned long from now, but Ben, new friend, and I are going to Horrorfind in August…whoo! Bills are paid, a couple more checks to come in, no working…life is good 🙂
[Edit: Nar is now in Costa Rica…lucky SOB]
