OUTTA HERE

In less than 24 hours I'll be soaring on the back of a metal bird to London. I'm surprisingly apathetic toward this whole trip, mainly due to how dramatic the whole run-up has been. I am, however, mystified that I will board a plane here and wake up in a different country. I don't really understand space and time. Or the physics of flying, for that matter.

I know that once I'm onboard the AA flight (Flight 86... watch the news, just in case) I'll start getting geared up for this trip, but right now, meh. I wonder if the FBI will misread that parenthetical clause. Hope not.

I bought a digital camera over the weekend, so I'll be taking many photos, and I'll start posting some regularly. I was always envious of blogs with photos, but was too lazy to do it myself. Mr. Chips came over and showed me that digital photography is really rather simple.

I will also try to slip into an internet cafe and post a little somethin-somethin. That sounds retarded. If only I knew how to strike out text like the pros....

Well, kids, hold down the fort while I'm gone. This little dimly-lit alleyway of the blogosphere actually could use a little more traffic. Maybe I'll pick up some fans over in jolly ol' England.

Have a great Thanksgiving, and remember to plunder the Indians, send them West, kill any stragglers and relax over some pumpkin pie and cider. Oh and also, don't change the locks to America while I'm gone. I hate that.

Woah,

I didn't even know about this. What are you doing over there?

Eric,

I'm going over to visit my cousin who's studying in Grantham, England, for the semester. Wait, were you kidding?

Aw, hell. JG

No for real. I didn't know. That'll be great man! Hey, that picture you posted turned out really well. What kind of camera do you have?

Jeff said...

Eric,

That was taken with my dad's Nikon. The one I just got is a Kodak, and I have yet to take any keepers on it, but by all qualifications, it is a slightly better camera than his. We'll see once I post some photos....

Leaving work... now. Later.

A little advice:

When you drink a Brown ale get it in bottle and pour it into a half pint glass, topping up as you go along.

Also, make sure to drink a 'real ale' whilst you're there - they're the kind that are hand pulled. They're readily available in the pubs.

Go to Camden Market in London - very fun.

Be careful not to snog (and certainly not shag) any mingers.

Mackims from Sunderland are known to be evil: beware.

Have a great time broseph!
