A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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.

Just trailers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

What to do about this goddamned trip I wanted to take? I think I wait and see if I can do better. It was a whim anyway.

Register the books with BookCrossing, and then when you leave them behind, you have a shot at finding out what happened to them next!

I'd wait, Jesse.

But I don't want to take responsibility for being wrong. So there's that.

2 of about 20 of my releases have been logged here in SoCal. Kenya? Well, it could happen.
