Oh, good god. Sleazy Misha knockoff--the real thing can be so creepy, I hate to even imagine.

Mmm. Curry goat. Too much goat on my mind. Wasn't the best, but it was local, and the woman that runs the restaurant is very sweet. And still remembers me, even though it's been around a year. I suspect she doesn't get much traffic, and not many Jamaicans.

Bonus, Ting! Now that I've lost my BevMo hookup, this is a rare and precious treat.

Back to horizontality and keeping up my fluids.

Pix, I'm so sorry to hear about Drew! That's scary stuff. All kinds of health~ma to him.

I hope someone hears from brenda soon, too.

I have a new house! And internet and TV there! ::flails::

When do you arrive Amy? Surely you're not already there? Then again, that East Coast is sure squished together!

Then again, that East Coast is sure squished together!

So amazingly tiny. States smaller than cities I've lived in. They're wee.

Pfft. Amy moved from one state to the one next door. But it's an 18-hour drive if I wanted to go see my family in Boston, and 12 hours to DC. The East Coast is SO big.

Congrats, Amy!

Drew & Kristin, hope it all goes well.

So you know those type of nightmares where you are at a mall, and have to, say, take a shower? I've now lived the dream. The Y in Parkville is actually in a strip mall. Sandwiched between a Five Guys, GNC and a chinese restaurant. Also has a Kmart, Ross, a hardware store, Safeway, Sally's, etc. It's just odd, to be showering in the lockerroom and realize "I'm at a MALL."

Provided traffic isn't too bad during the week, it shouldn't be too bad a drive. 15 minutes?

OK, time to do some more spindles.

But it's an 18-hour drive if I wanted to go see my family in Boston

18 hours can get you from one end of California to the other. With no traffic. Which never really happens in California. I don't miss that at all.

I am afeared to even Google map what it takes to get across Texas. I recall it taking about 8 years. But I was young and supremely bored, so...

I realize that the Western states are craxy large though in some cases.

I sent a message to Brenda's sister on FB. At least I hope that was Brenda's sister.

The west coast is only three states! The east coast is like 75, 100 states!

java, it's only six hours between where we were and where we are now.

New England is crazy small and squished, I agree, but the lower Northeast, not so much.
