Jesse, that it is the what drives the investigation. Tessa not dead, no Justin off getting into trouble. Not sure who the chick is in the trailers, though. They confused me as far as what in the hell the plot was.

And I just can't see a Hollywood blockbuster that ends with the protagonist dying.

I don't know what I'm going to do about reading materials.

I'm going to need an assload to read, but I hate taking up the space.

For long trips, I take lots of magazines and cheap paperbacks that I won't mind leaving on the plane/in hotels etc. That way as I get rid of them I have room for souvenirs and prezzies.

Well, I don't know nothing.

Speaking of not knowing nothing, I was looking at flights yesterday, but didn't buy, so of course everything's $50 more expensive today. It's for Labor Day. Should I wait and see if there are last-minute deals, or just cough up?

Carry it with in grocery bags and leave it in airports or waiting rooms as you finish. It feels like less space that way. That's what I did for USSR (ok, I left a buttload of vintage-my dad was ready to throttle me- Steinbecks with the soviet volunteers I worked with), Prague, Spain and Africa.

It's also how I picked up reading material on the way back.

I do wish I'd saved one book in Prague. Truckstop Rainbows.

I have the Hoover Windtunnel canister model, which has non-icky disposable bags, and a HEPA filter. Which means I don't have a headache from the dust after cleaning up. I just wish the carpet attachment didn't get fouled up with cat hair so quickly....

Well, I don't know nothing.

I'm relying on memory and back-o-book synopsis, so..... You read it, or going off the trailers?

Why I like Gallant and Neela getting together on ER so much, I don't know. But nice filming for network.

You read it, or going off the trailers?

Just trailers.

Whitefont, sara -- the ER thing, I mean.

Maybe I should find a series out in paperback and buy a few of those ...

What I do need to do is buy shorts. I have no shorts for travelling.

There are no crime stats for my zipcode. . . what's up with that? I'm sensing a cover-up!! (Must be: come on the police blotter is everyone's favorite read!)
