if i kiss you where it's sore,
will you feel better, better better?
will you feel anything at all?

and after a very long time, i finished The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. wow. just amazing.

seen in des moines

"Catholic Education: Where Christ is the principle" too bad it wasn't "where (buddy) Christ is the princip(a)le." that's too great of a pun to be on a serious billboard.

tomorrow.

i have an interview tomorrow. here's to hoping it goes well. yay. the major plus is, it's in a different city, where i have friends. yay!

change of plans.

so, uh. the road trip plans fell through. i guess i kind of expected that. damn depending on other people! too bad they just make everything a bit more fun and (as far as road trips go) cheap.

So, instead I'm off to my first day in the temp office placement. i hope it doesn't suck. :)

planning...

So, I was thinking about road tripping out west without actually thinking that it would happen, and i mentioned it to a friend, who was all about it. So, as long as we can find a third person to go (to help offset the costs of gas) i'm headed out west in august. West-er than i've ever been.

IA-(IL)-IN-(IL)-MO-(KS)-CO-(WY)-UT-NV-AZ-(NM)-(KS)-MO-(IL)-IN. States in () are drive-through only.

So, i'm doing most of the planning, but I've never really been on a road trip before, so I'm not sure how much driving in one day i can take, but i'm still planning. I've also never camped out before, but I'm planning on planning that too, because it's just so much cheaper than a hotel.

so yeah. i'm excited and a little nervous. wanna be the third?
