UK Travel
My sister and I are getting the Britrail Pass. We have convinced ourselves that it is more economical because of the price of gas. She's ordering them and they are being Fed Exed to my house. Nothing like waiting until we're down to the wire! I am hoping to meet up with Darling Drew and Annie once we get there. I am realizing now that we have zilch in terms of reservations or plans for London other than knowing we are going to be spending buttloads of money. Lord have mercy on our wayward, lost, and credit card indebted souls! Stress Eating I have a splitting headache because all I've eaten for the past two days are mini-Reese's cups and mini-Snickers in feverish anticipation. If this continues I fear my sister will not recognize me when we meet in the streets of Paris. The Amazing Race On tonight! On tonight! On tonight! On tonight! Deranged Dog Daisy has become an escape artist lately and I had to chase her across the street the other day as she chased a cat UNDERNEATH SOMEONE'S HOUSE wherein I attempted to crawl to retrieve her but I could not fit. She only came out because the cat darted out so she chased the cat and I finally cornered her by a closed gate and carried her home while huffing, "Bad dog! VERY BAD DOG!" She is insane. She tries to kill our houseguest dog, but at the vet today they told me they've never seen such a submissive animal and they had a terrible time doing her check-up because she would not get off of her back. I realize she goes into attack mode out of fear, but it's all very unsettling. I hope she does not get out while I am gone and get hit by a car or disappear. I've had her five years exactly as of this month. Anxiety. Anxiety. (Open mouth, insert peanut butter cup.) Arrival in Paris I am trying to decide what I'll do on my first day there. I should get to my hotel by around noon. My whole flight is only twelve hours which feels like nothing after having the trip to Italy six years ago take more than 18. I guess I will try to find some food and mosey through the Luxembourg Gardens since that is basically across the street. I don't know why, but I just feel drawn there already. I guess I might try to follow one of Rick Steves's walks. My sister is very pro-day trip to Normandy so I guess we will do that one day once she gets there. I told my dad that and his eyes filled with tears and he basically had to leave the room. "Normandy" is one of those trigger words for him, I guess. It fills him with such love of country that he has to take a moment. I don't know. I don't know. I'm sure it will be cool. The more I read about Paris, the more I think I could spend two weeks there or more especially considering the surrounding areas. I am kind of scared of the language thing, but Shelley assures me that as long I don't act like an ass and attempt to speak even a bare minimum as far as greetings and farewells and thank yous that they won't hate me THAT much. There is a reader from La. who lives in Paris who wrote to me, but I cannot find your email! Write to me again. Homeownership I do not know how my yard will go without being cut for two weeks. I suppose it will go towards conversion into rainforest. I have to change my air conditioner filter before I leave. I also have to dust and vacuum so my mother will not faint when she comes to deal with the animals. I hope my house will be okay. I hope nothing explodes and I hope a tree does not fall on it. Meds. Meds! Need some meds. Onscreen Peens I saw The Dreamers. Oh, yes, I did. The whole cinema / Paris / revolutionary angle intrigued me, so I watched it, and there were full-on DICKS in this movie! I was like, oh, dear sweet Henry from Dawson's Creek. I am staring at a close-up of your penis, and I am embarrassed. And look, there are some boobies and a vagina. It all threw me so much that I was kind of off-kilter for the rest of the movie. I somehow became twelve years old again and could not even pay attention to anything but the pretty naked people. So I have nothing intelligent to say about the movie, other than Naked. Pretty. Paris! Sister and brother. Bathtub. Hymen! Tommy Gnosis.
