Gratuitous Vacation 2009

   Leaving here in a few hours for New York City (Brooklyn). Will be there until Thursday.
   Thursday (the 14th), my friend Kerri and I are flying to Barcelona. We'll lurk around there until the 21st, and then we take the train to Zaragoza until the 25th. Back to Barcelona and from there back to New York on the 26th. Returning to Southern California on the 30th.
   Also hopefully during one of the New York portions I'll be able to rent a car (I hear they have "zip cars" like in SF that are easy to rent?) and convey myself up to Rochester, NY. It's an eight hour drive but it's pleasant, and while I'm over there it seems like a small price to pay to see relatives I often don't see for years.

Gratuitous Vacation 2009

   Leaving here in a few hours for New York City (Brooklyn -- land of boxes of rain!). Will be there until Thursday.
   Thursday (the 14th), my friend Kerri and I are flying to Barcelona. We'll lurk around there until the 21st, and then we take the train to Zaragoza* until the 25th. Back to Barcelona and from there back to New York on the 26th. Returning to Southern California on the 30th.
   Also hopefully during one of the New York portions I'll be able to rent a car (I hear they have "zip cars" like in SF that are easy to rent?) and convey myself up to Rochester, NY. It's an eight hour drive but it's pleasant, and while I'm over there it seems like a small price to pay to see relatives I often don't see for years.


   * it's got nothing to do with why we chose to go to Zaragoza, but I find it amusing that the one location in continental Europe I set an entry in for LJ Idol is Zaragoza and now I'm going there.

   Third entry this morning? Okay so I don't like packing and am prone to procrastinate.

   But seriously, I recently discovered www.textsfromlastnight.com (warning: addictive!) and I had to (A) tell you all how hilarious it is and (B) share some of the more hilarious entries.

   Basically it's pretty self explanatory: people post hilarious texts they got from their drunk friends the night before. They are to be preceded by the originating area code.

Highlights - Again for you bastards who I know are just skimming through LJ, these are not from MY friends ... though I got some from Mark I should put up...

(305): Imagine two people making love on top of a unicorn . . . my life is the opposite of that.

(717): I am in a vortex of obligation.

(612): you guys were way drunker than both of me

(504): i'm trying to reconcile what i did last night with who i am as a person.

(909): I'm not looking forward to the waking up early part. Or actually the wedding part. Or the reception part. But I am looking forward to the meaningless sex with some random guy I meet at the reception part.

(918): Just saw a policeman use his lights to go through a red light only to turn them off and go to Sonic...

(902): and then I told her I was too drunk. She started to cry, and told me this always happens to her and that she thinks shes ugly. I pretended I was asleep and then she farted.

(789): If you could channel this insane talent for stalking you'd be a great weapon for this country. If you had a crush on Bin Ladin, guaranteed he'd be found, monitered and tagged within five days.

And this one is dedicated to superhappytime:
(321): Laying in bed naked with the guy I just fucked, talking to his WIFE who's sitting across from us like we're having a fucking tea party. This is interesting.
